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 has made it possible for me to avoid knee surgery and he is a wonderful doctor. Very lucky to have found him.

Dr. Plance
Dr. Plance is the most steady and perfectly real and candid doctor I have ever been with in my 77 years. His approaches and instructions have been perfect and produced good results for both me and my wife over the past several years. He is so personable and forthright in his diagnosis' I've never had any doubts about any treatment. He has been honest and forthright in his communications to me and never offered anything that wasn't based on solid medical grounds and explained it thoroughly.

My husband made an appt., showed up on time, filled out new patient forms then waited, 35 min in lobby, then 45 min in examination room. No Dr, no nurse, no explanation for extended wait. Decided he no longer wanted to wait. On his way out told girl at front desk that he was leaving since no one had gone in to see him. She simply said, “ I’m very sorry.” Very unprofessional, uncaring practice. Won’t ever go back. If I could leave 0 stars I would.
