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.

He's willing to try some new things
I've been in horrific pain with my lower back since 2000 and I went to another pain clinic in town. I loved the doctor, but he retired, so I decided to change. I love Dr Pletnich because he tried something new, the Radio Freq. Ablas. wasn't working iany more. At least he tried something. it seems to be workding!

Thanks for the Help
Great doctor. I have not had back pain for over 9 months since he did a nerve ablation on me. It was not a big deal to do as I was afraid of the procedure and it was not anything like I thought it would be.

Caring Pain Management Doctor
Dr Pletnick is very caring and compassionate. He spends the time necessary for you to discuss your issues and comes up with a treatment plan. I have also seen Katherine Grimes NP. I have had both in office appointments and tele-med appointments. The treatments I've received have helped a lot. Their practice is up to date with new technology. The office is very clean and wait times are never long. The support staff is very friendly and efficient in their jobs. I am so glad I found Dr Pletnick and Arizona Pain Care Center.
