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.

FFX Colon & Rectal Surgery have been a lifesaver!! They are not only the best at what they do (thank goodness) but they are kind, compassionate and very professional. They take the time needed to understand the issues and act immediately to solve them. Dr. Plerhoples and his team are amazing.

Dr. Plerhoples performed a sigmoid partial resection last November. Very good in explaining the procedure in very simple terms, making me feel comfortable during a very crazy time in my life. Follow up after surgery was great, and no complications. Surgery was robotic.

Happy Patient – Jun 02, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Plerhoples?
I always felt that I have a high tolerance for pain but not after today's in-office procedure. The pain was through the roof and I think I may have passed out for a short time. It took me some time to recover as I was dizzy. I walked to his desk for the consult and he commented on how pale I was. I feel that he should have described what he was doing more and let me know beforehand when it would be painful. On the positive side, he answered all my questions and he and the staff were very friendly and courteous.

Dr. Plerhoples is a very caring physician with vast and deep knowledge. He always explains in easy to understand terms. He made the INOVA portal a very helpful way of communication. Through it I could communicate with him and his staff mainly to fully understand his instructions. It certainly has contributed to my speedy recovery. His staff members are very friendly and helpful. I will highly recommend him to my family and friends.

I have seen Dr. Plerhoples several times, once for a fissure, twice for a thrombosed external hemorrhoid. Dr. Plerhoples is very professional, practical and makes an unpleasant situation bearable. His skills are top notch, and thankfully quick and efficient. After the treatment, a discussion of care takes place in his office and he understands and answers all the questions I had. I would recommend him to anyone, and have recommended him to friends that have had related issues.

Vienna, VA – Jul 19, 2018

After having had a colostomy for nearly 4 years , and after the second time that the stoma had herniated, I decided on a colostomy reversal. (Both the original surgery and the first revision surgery were performed out of state.) Working with Dr. Plerhoples was easy. He explained possible complications and addressed ways in which they could be addressed. I explained what my preferences were, and he respected them. The reversal surgery was successful. I recommend Dr. Plerhoples without reservation
