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.

Lucky to have his care for first baby
Dr. Plambeck gave me care for my first pregnancy and delivered my first child. Every visit was professional and efficient. Dr. Plambeck cares deeply for all of his patients and makes it known with how he educates and listens to any questions or concerns. I wish I could have him for all my future pregnancy’s and will forever be grateful for my care with him.

Awesome Dr in my eyes
The thing that stood out about Dr Plambeck and his staff was I wasn't looked at as a number or just another patient having a baby . I went through 2 Drs before I found him and Im very much happy I stayed patient and didn't settle. Him and his staff made us feel so at ease through my pregnancy, delivery and even after . I highly recommend

Highly Recommend
Dr. Plambeck and his staff are wonderful. This was my second pregnancy but with a large age gap, so it felt like starting over again. They were helpful and kind. Their office always calls to remind and confirm your upcoming appointments, and Dr. Plambeck does what's best for mom and for baby while also including dad!

Fabulous caring doctor
Dr. Plambeck attended my husband for several weeks in Cardiac ICU at Bergen Mercy. He is caring, insightful, open to discussing things openly, which most of the other doctors did not bother to do. He was there for us every step of the way. Highly recommended.

Truly the best experience!
Couldn't have asked for a better doctor or staff for my first pregnancy. I found Dr. Plambeck from all the reviews I found online and he surpassed my expectations. The nurses and Dr. Plambeck answered all my questions, and when I didn’t have any more questions they offered up other information just to make sure I was fully informed. I was never rushed during an appointment, which is unlike other offices. They really cared about me, my husband, and my baby. Now we are loving on our perfect little miracle! Will definitely come back for regular exams and future pregnancies.

I had a great experience visiting Dr. Plambeck during my pregnancy. He is amazing! What a Blessing! He was very kind to me at each visit and always answered my questions and concerns. The staff was also very friendly and professional. If I ever have another baby, I will definitely be going back to Dr. Plambeck's office. I will always want to him to be my OB Dr. I highly recommend him to everyone.

Great overall experience
We just moved into town and were recommended to this OBGYN clinic. We felt very fortunate and lucky to have Dr. Plambeck. From the start to finish, the care was high quality and personal. It was our first child so the experience was very new to us and we always felt comfortable. His nursing staff is also great. If we are still in the area, he will definitely be delivering our baby again.

Highly recommend! The BEST!
A quick heads-up - I do not usually write reviews, but this one has been long due! Dr. Plambeck has been a God-send in our lives. We found him to be extremely kind and considerate. He had great bedside manners, was very patient and took the time to explain what to expect. He was very honest and explained the potential issues and treatment options. The care we received from the whole team was stellar. Dr. Plambeck always explained the results of the ultrasound, and kept a very close check on me due to my high-risk status. Moreover, his entire team has been awesome throughout. Dr. Plambeck took great care in scheduling my C-section according to inputs received from the fetal medicine specialist. My babies are now 4 months old, and we are moving out of state pretty soon. But, if we ever have another baby I would move back to NE, so I can work with Dr. Plambeck and his team. He really has been a Godsend for us - made our dream of having a family a reality.

Dr. Plambeck is by far the best OBGYN doc in the area. He cares about his patients which is evident at each visit. He is super wise, conservative in his approach and treatment, gentle, compassionate, and experienced. He spent a lot of time answering my questions and concerns. He didn’t rush any visit; he really made me feel valued as a person as he sat and talked with me. I trusted him implicitly during my pregnancy and L&D. He helped deliver my beautiful healthy girl last fall and I will use him again if/when the time comes!! Super impressed with him!

Dr. Plambeck is by far the best doctor I've ever been to. He truly cares about you as a person and is always willing to make time for you. He delivered my daughter this past March and it was the best experience I could have dreamed for and it was all thanks to him and his team. He never pressured me into doing anything that I wasn't comfortable with and he was constantly encouraging me throughout. I'm truly grateful for Dr. Plambeck and his team. He is truly one of a kind and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. Plambeck and team. You made my experience wonderful.

Dr. Plambeck is nothing short of amazing. Moving to Lincoln and having to find a new OB out of hundreds is overwhelming. However, I was lucky enough to stumble upon Dr. Plambeck. He genuinely cares about his patients and makes you feel very comfortable from day one. We welcomed our first baby just over a month ago and with Dr. Plambeck's gentle, comforting demeanor it was a breeze. I highly recommend him to everyone. He takes his time and answers all questions and explains everything in an easy to understand manner. Everyone at his office is very friendly as well, they're always smiling and very welcoming.

I could not have been more pleased with the care I received from Dr. Plambeck throughout my pregnancy. From the beginning, my health and the baby’s was of utmost importance to him. He is a very knowledgeable and caring doctor. From prenatal check ups to delivery, I felt so much peace being in his care. Not only is he an incredible doctor, but his staff is absolutely wonderful as well! So happy I chose him to be my doctor! I strongly recommend his office.

Dr. Plambeck is a wonderful physician and he goes above and beyond what I would have expected. When I was in labor, he continually called the hospital to check on me and he was not even the physician on call. My baby was born at 4:34 in the morning, and he came in to deliver. That meant so much to my husband and me!! He is very caring and takes time in the office to answer all questions. You know he is a great provider when he comes into the room and sits down to speak to you at every visit. I would recommend him to anyone :)

When I went for my first checkup before getting married I was very nervous to go to a Gynecologist. He made the entire process comfortable and easy. He just delivered my baby girl via C-section as well and did a good job of allaying my fears and bringing her into this world.
