Dr. Plansky has amazing bedside manner. He is thorough, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. Not once did I feel rushed. He listened to all of my concerns and made me feel at ease before my procedure.

For almost 40 years, Dr. Plansky has been my PCP and/or my GI doctor. In my opinion, he is in the top 1% of medical doctors - he is extraordinary knowledgeable and cares deeply about all his patients.

Doctor Plansky is informative, kind, and one of the best doctors I've seen. He put my worries at ease and took such great care of me. He really listens and keeps you informed. Excellent doctor with an excellent team

Dr. Plansky has the best bedside manner imaginable. He is also attentive and his office is well-run. However, his approach to nutrition is dated and uninformed, and he referred me for a high-risk diagnostic procedure that proved to be unnecessary.

Persistant diagnostician who correctly determined serious heart disease despite patient denial, resulting in quintuple bypass surgery (90% blockages).

Doctor Plansky Is a great doctor he is detailed complete and spends a good amount of time with patients while listening to concerns however this is only during physicals. I have never been able to get an appointment with doctor Plansky while I was sick or had a serious medical issue. While he is a good doctor the lack of understanding by his staff and their rudeness is not worth the doctor.
