My visits with Dr. Plaisance are like visiting a friend. He is a doctor that respects a patient's knowledge base and allows me to actively partake in my care and make my own decisions. He has come alongside me in my journey to manage diabetes and other medical issues. He has shown much encouragement and kindness. I'm very thankful to have him as a PCP. He is a blessing.

I just completed my annual physical w/ Dr Plaisance. We had a detailed discussion on the blood lab analysis, reviewed against historical ranges as well as std metrics. He spent considerable time reviewing current questions as well as current perspectives on Covid risk management and treatments. Very knowledgeable, thorough, pleasant and authentic. His staff responds in a timely fashion to questions/concerns raised remotely. All in all, very satisfied and would recommend as a PCP. John B.
