An amazing physician and person. He cared for my father during his battle with terminal cancer. Dad was never made to feel that he was the lung cancer in room 3. Dr. Villaplana and his staff were always caring and treated him like a complete person with a family he loved and who loved him totally. Dr. made us feel that Dad was important to him too and took whatever time was necessary to answer questions with clarity and compassion.

DR. VILLAPLANA DIAGNOSED ME WITH M.S. HE DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO RULE IT OUT. HE IS SO THOROUGH. I HAVE AN AUNT IN PENNSYLVANIA WHO WE ALL BELIEVE WAS DYING AND WAS NOT GETTING THE CARE WE THOUGHT SHE DESERVED. I CALLED DR. VILLAPLANA'S OFFICE AND THEY ACCEPTED HER RIGHT AWAY. IN A MONTH AND A HALF, HE HAS TURNED HER LIFE AROUND!! HE DIAGNOSED HER AND IS TREATING HER, AND SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE USED TO.HE IS A WONDERFUL DOCTOR AND PERSON. HE HAS BEEN MY FAMILY'S DOCTOR SINCE HE LIVED IN A SMALL HOUSE IN AUSTINTOWN AND WAS A NEIGHBOR OF MY SISTER.YOU COULDN'T WANT A BETTER DOCTOR.

I was one of Dr. Villaplana's first patients some 20+ years. I trust him explicitly. He is a dream Dr. He listens and hears what the patient has to say about their symptoms and has a clear understanding of what the problem is and the avenue to go to treat his patients. My whole family also sees Dr. Villaplana and we will not go to any other Dr. I have followed him to the offices he has been, he even asked his patients when he was moving to his new office if it was going to be a problem going further than his previous office, I told him wherever he went, it would not be any inconvenience to me. He is the best without question.
