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. Plank is awesome.
He did my left rotator cuff surgery in 2011 and I haven’t had a problem since. He then did my right rotator cuff in 2022 and haven’t had any issues. He is now helping me with my right knee. I won’t see anyone else as long as he’s around.

Fantastic physician and even better human being.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Plank for ten years and he’s done one knee replacement which I’m extremely happy with. Getting ready for the other knee but he wants me to wait a bit longer. Gave me a cortisone shot and all my knee pain is gone. I know it’ll need to get done but it shows that he’s not all about the surgery. Even offered alternative treatments. Very cool. I wish all doctors had his manner and ethics.

Very professional. Minimal forms to fill out and almost no wait time when having an appointment. Nurses are very in depth with finding your range of motion and pain. Dr. Plank is straight and to the point about getting you back to 100 percent.
