Dr. Plachril feels like a family friend after 7 years of seeing him with our 3 kids. I highly recommend Dr. Plachril. He has been very helpful, and has even called to check up on our kids after an appointment.

Doctor Placheril is a blessing to our family. We can always know that our child's health is a priority for the doctor and his staff. The office and staff are friendly and inviting and we are always able to be seen within a day of requesting an appointment. We always leave the office informed and confident that we are on the road to recovery and that we have the information and tools necessary to heal.

Worst pediatrician in town, doesn't like dealing with children with disabilities. I would never take a child to him again.

My son has been a patient for nearly 10 years. As he 16, we've been through many developmental stages together. I like Dr. Placheril's approach - stay well, live healthy and take as little medicine as possible. The good part is, my son likes and trusts him. The doctor is straightforward, which my son appreciates.
