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.

Better options out there
Poor communicator. Office is often impossible to reach for a week or more. Poor success with kidney stone procedures.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Plzak III?
I visited Dr. Plzak to try and get to the bottom of Testicular pain I was having. He did a cursory examination and did a bladder ultrasound. He never explained why he did the ultrasound, or the results. He prescribed antibiotics for an infection which did nothing. On my return visit, he was busy trying to impress a young resident, and referred me to a general surgeon on supposed suspicion of a hernia. After waiting 6 weeks due to the Corona virus, I finally saw the surgeon, who was surprised at the lack of testing and the diagnosis of Dr. Plzak. He examined me and found no evidence of a hernia, and wants me to return to Dr. Plzak, who I have no confidence in anymore. I will try and find a more thorough and knowledgeable doctor for future testing.
