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.

Dr. Platnik was My pediatrician when I was a child. I am now 38 years old. He is a great Doctor; I am so glad to see that He is still practicing.

Dr. Platnik literally saved me from getting a tracheotomy at the age of 3 and treated me throughout my entire adolescence. In addition, he was the pediatrician for my sisters two boys. You cannot find a more competent, caring, pediatrician period!

Dr. Platnik is the most caring and knowledgeable doctor that I know. He treats the "whole person" you will just love this Man, he looks at all part of your life and sits with you to help you understand what might be affecting your body, mind, and overall health. Dr. Platnik will go above and beyond what you think a doctor would do to make sure your children are in great health. He is the best of the best. He was my children's doctor for 16 years I am just sorry I did not find him at the beginnin
