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.

Great Doctor

Dr. Plante did an incredible job with my ACL and Meniscus surgery. His expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation to the post-operative care. He took the time to explain each step of the procedure, which helped ease my concerns. The surgery itself went smoothly, and I was impressed by how quickly I started to recover. Thanks to his skilled hands and personalized approach, I'm now on the path to getting back to my normal activities, feeling stronger and more confident than ever.

Knowledgeable & Clear Explanation
First, I was put at ease and spoken with politely and as an equal. No 'airs' as I've experienced with some other doctors. Next, he clearly explained, with easy to comprehend terms and examples, exactly what my injury issues were as well as answered my questions without acting as if I was taking up his and another potential client's time. Finally, using that same manner, he clearly identified the options and explained the pros and cons. He gave his opinion on best plan steps but said that 'ultimately the decision was mine to make'. I'm confident in my next step choice and his treatment of my injury.

Just what I needed
I sought out Dr Plante due to increasing shoulder and elbow pain along with limited range of motion. After imaging an a thorough examination he diagnosed the problems and initiated a treatment plan. At follow-up he measured my progress and adjusted his plan accordingly. Not only was he spot-on but he took his time with me and was very personable. I highly recommend him.

Help Provided
I went back to see Dr Plante after his protracted help caring for my left shoulder. He marshaled me thru PT, cortisone injections and ultimately, surgery and more PT. My recent return visit was to tend to the failing performance of my right shoulder. He offered a very good skill set - Current in his field. He is friendly and quite concise. Outcome to be determined.
