Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing neurologist
He spent time explaining my condition and gave me answers that I have been searching for the last three years. He is wonderful. I’m so thankful is providing my care.

Thankful for Help
I’ve experienced migraines for several years now. When I met Dr. Plato until now he always takes his time during an office visit. I never have to wait to be seen. Honestly it’s five minutes or less and they are calling me back. I’ve been working with Dr. Plato since October and he hasn’t given up on me yet. I truly appreciate all he has done for my family and I.

Prompt with little wait. Listened carefully to my symptoms. Suggested possible diagnoses and treatment. Spent time answering questions and explaining his thoughts. Did not rush through the appointment. Because he is one of the few who special in headaches in my area, there was a bit of a wait before seeing him, however my original appointment did get moved up 4 months.

Unacceptable judgments made on me bc of all that I had going on at home. As well as for work, which I love more then anything in this world and yet I was told I needed to decrease my stress levels. I’m sorry but when you are a single mother with no help and you have so many things going on you can’t just turn off life . He could tell me too but it’s impossible. I had a family to feed. And even though my job as a nurse has always been challenging, it doesn’t cause me stress it’s what give me hop

He spends whatever time you need with you. When he talks to you, he looks directly AT you. You will never feel like he is rushing off to another patient. I have had many neurologist and he certainly is #1 in care and concern of patients and absolutely knows what he is talking about when he is diagnosing.

We absolutely LOVE Dr. Plato. He actually listens to his patients, asks lots of questions, is understanding, has an excellent bedside manner and is so knowledgeable. Over the years, I have seen multiple neurologists because my mother had a rare neurological disease and I have never met one as caring, personable and willing to answer our questions without hesitation. He never acts like he is so important that he needs to get to his next patient.

Dr. Plato spent time with me and made an accurate diagnosis. I found him to be very caring and he has a great bedside manner. So far, I’ve had one procedure with him and he explained everything very thoroughly. He answered all my questions and I never felt rushed. I highly recommend him.

I have been a a patient of Dr Plato's for over 4 years. With my illness I come into contact with many doctors and Dr.Plato is one of the best around I've ever been treated by. His care and the way he talks to you is compassionate and sincere. He never gives up on finding the correct solution. I could not be happier with him as my support team along with his staff which is exceptional .

Dr. Plato is a very good doctor. I had a wonderful experience with him treating my migraines. However, his office staff is terrible, not organized, not efficient, specifically, people who are in charge of organizing shots (botox injections) , not possible to contact them directly; I left 5 voice messages, none was returned.

Dr Plato was fantastic. He took a tremendous amount of time to talk me through the my issues and concerns. He would not let me leave his office until he answered all of my questions. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend him.

I was seen by him in the hospital since he is in the same practice as my doctor. He was rude, his bedside manner was awful and he also claimed I was faking a seizure which I still am suffering from a year later. He is too smart for being so young which has fed his huge ego.

I would give him less than a star if that was possible. He is condescending, unprofessional and blames his patients. To say that his bedside manner is subpar is the nicest thing I could say for such a dismissive joke of a doctor.

Dr Plato saw me for chronic headache pain. He was very conceded and dismissive. He choice not to MRI my head and said my headache pain was liking from me being stressed. One year later I was still having problems and went to UC neurology and my MRI reveled over 10 lesions on my brain and I was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis. Dr. Plato was rude and completely missed a life changing chronic disease. I would never recommend anyone seeing him.
