Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly recommend

Outstanding Care
Dr. Plakas and his office staff are honestly amazing. My 16 year old broke her fibula over the weekend, and not only did they answer my call on a Saturday (!!), they arranged to see her right away. Dr. Plakas was kind, caring, and gentle, and explained every option to my daughter and me. We really felt that we were making the most informed decisions about her plan of care. He was honest and informative about the severity of her break, her recovery, and how soon she would be able to return to competitive dance. Dr. Plakas's office manager went ABOVE and BEYOND for me when I was struggling to get films from a local imaging center (and the radiator on my Jeep had just died, leaving me in a terrible position and unable to drive), and for that I will be forever thankful. No one wants to deal with a child with a broken bone, but if you are in that situation, there is no one better to help you than Dr. Plakas (and his amazing staff).

Dr. Plakas is wonderful
Dr. Plakas helped my son, who is autistic and non verbal with a SCFE Surgery. The ordeal was extremely stressful as a mother, his professionalism, compassion and thorough care was extraordinary. I trust him and highly recommend him. My son can walk again pain free!

My grandson
This doctor is amazing!!!! We were met at the emergency room by the doctor who never left our side until we checked out of the hospital. My grandson who is six had a possible growth plate fracture. X-ray was taken quickly and dr waited outside X-ray room and gave us immediate results. I’ve never had such great service from a doctor before. Thank you sooo much Dr. Plakas!!!

Dr. Plakas and Coastal Pediatric Practice
Dr. Plakas and his staff are wonderful. Having multiple children ,playing sports, I have called him more than I would like to admit. He is always available, meets me in the hospital at any hour, truly cares about your child and remembers everything that happened. Top notch all around. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Plakas and his staff more!

Best pediatric ortho out there!
Dr. Plakas was amazing with our daughter from our first consult to our final visit. We wouldn’t have trusted anyone else to perform her surgery. I don’t know another doctor that makes himself available on his private phone for his patients, even on a weekend. We were able to get our questions or concerns handled about her recovery at any time of the day. Dr. Plakas and his office staff are outstanding. We are so lucky to have met him. We owe our daughter’s excellent recovery to him!

Dr. Plakas is so kind and patient, and wonderful with kids. He has this way of putting everyone at ease! We used him multiple times, and he was always quick and efficient, and very accessible throughout the whole process. He explained everything to us clearly, and answered all our questions. We were so happy, and lucky to have him treat our kids!

Dr. Plakas is an amazing Dr. He’s confident, caring, informative & I have complete faith & trust in him. The care for my 10 year old son has been top-notch, and I recommend him any chance I can. He explained everything & was so patient & professional! He was very skilled and had an excellent bedside manner. I had confidence when my son was going into surgery that all would go well. As a scared mom at the hospital, he had so much patience while I asked him every question I could think of. Very easy making follow up appointments & Dr. Plakas is easily accessible.

Our experience with doctor Plakas has been excellent. He did a great job taking care of my 14 years old son's fracture of his ankle. Dr Plakas made himself available to perform surgery at midnight on a Sunday. He always replies to our calls, texts or emails in a prompt manner. The office staff is very professional and friendly, there is no waiting time on the appointments. Less than two months later, my son is recovering pretty well.

Dr. Plakas is amazing and would highly recommend him. My daughter broke her am and he came to the hospital and put a cast on her. He was patient and explained the whole process. He talked to her like she is an adult which made her very happy. She is usually doesn't like doctors but she loves him. His Office staff is also amazing with making follow up appointments and answer all my questions. They go above and beyond finding out information for me. so glad we got him and his office.
