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.

Down to earth and a fine cardiologist
With Dr Plavac you never a dull moment as well down to earth. In other words he knows how to laugh as well as being serious. Two thumbs up.

Appointment after PCP findings
First the appointment staff was able to get me an appointment today after I explained my PCP concerns. There was was plenty of parking space. Front desk staff member greeted and instructed me to the waiting area respectfully. I was called to a cubicle and assisted there by another nice staff member who asked a few questions about insurance and etc and she instructed me to be seated in the waiting area until nurse calls me. It wasn’t long before the nurse called me to the back. There I met two nurses and the doctor. Everyone was professional and thorough in their care. I was instructed on the tests ordered by the doctor. Check out was a repeat of the other staff members I came in contact with. I was very pleased with my first visit.

I don’t like the fact my first appointment was canceled because they didn’t have an approved letter of intent to pay from the VA. They are going to pay if they refer us to CIS
