Dr. Plez saw me for Cryptococcal meningitis as a result of a reading by a pathologist.The petri dish did not grow the disease. Also, I did not have the usual symptoms. Dr. Pelz pursued it with research. He had me give three or four blood and urine samples to nail it down. I never developed the symptoms so we ended the search. He was methodical and caring. He did not give up until we were sure there we no symptoms.

Dr. Pelt is very knowledgable and inspires confidence. He is very easy to talk to and takes time to check in with you and make sure that you have all of the information you need to make good treatment decisions.

I have been his patient for about ten years. To me, he is the ideal doctor: taking time to listen and investigate all problems. In addition, he is down-to-earth and compassionate.

I was at my Or. house after knee replacement surgery in Ca. Got a virus infection and had to do it over again up there. My wife (a retired nurse)uses the word genius whenever talking about him to others. For the first time EVER, I understood what was going on, why and what to expect. I have never felt such confidence in a Dr. before. If I ever needed that kind of care again, I would be on the first plane to Or.
