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.

Fantastic
Informative and personable.

Is she real?
Seriously, never had a doctor sit and explain things so thoroughly and efficiently. How did we just meet yet I trust your judgment already? Dr Jill is clearly doing what she was meant to do in life.

Best OB Ever!
Went in for a pre pregnancy consult due to my previous OB leaving the practice I was at and decided to shop around. Within 5 minutes I was sold. Dr. Placek is awesome! After meeting Dr. Placek, I could tell she cares about the WHOLE patient, I didn’t feel judged about going into pregnancy high risk, and in fact, I am actually excited to go into another high rick pregnancy in the near future because I know with her in my team, I will have a much better pregnancy experience and level of care.My only complaints: there is a young girl at the front desk who spends so much time of her phone - she is not friendly, doesn’t speak up, and literally made me wait for her to finish texting before she would help me book a follow up appointment

More than a doctor
Dr. Placek really takes the time to hear your concerns and comes up with a game plan on how to attack. She delivered my baby girl and I felt she was more than supportive before, during, and after delivery. Highly recommend!

Empathetic and thorough
I went in to see the dr with many anxious concerns about my fertility journey. She coached me on all the next steps, testing, semen analysis, and all the things to follow after that. I have a rare blood disorder and she is doing her due diligence to ensure I have the best chances possible with conceiving our first baby. I left the office feeling confident and well cared for. Thanks Dr!
