I was very happy with Dr Plakseychuck as he explained clearly and seemed caring about my treatment and all the women that took care of me were also caring and explaining everything clearly!

I was concerned about needing a revision until Dr. P talked me through the steps. Quick recovery and no restrictions. I'm very thankful to still be working with the same surgical team.

From parking my car by the valet, the security guards in every personnel that I met in my visit Was excellent. When I first went in, I thought that I might not know where to go, but everyone either explained where I need to go or escorted me.

After treating with another orthopedist for more than a decade and making appts or calling a few others, Dr. Was the only surgeon who actually discussed the surgery with me himself at my first appt.

I have already recommended this entire practice to other friends with orthopedic problems.

I left my visit on top of the world! Dr P was so genuinely happy that I was doing so well after the manip. He didn't give up on me when it wasn't working and I'm now getting back the quality of life I had before my accident. He's so professional but easy to talk to and answered my questions. I'm so happy I was referred to him.

Dr. Plakseychuk was truly outstanding. Took time to listen, explain and demonstrate - in particular he contextualized the evidence from the x-raay to the reasoning of his dx and treatment plan proposal and in highly informative and open-minded manner. The dx was clear from what Dr. Plakseychuk explained and the Tx proposed reasonable. If all my physician visits had such clarity !!!! Medical Assistant Sara was also excellent and took time to explain in detail the timing and procedures for the treatment which helped in scheduling the treatment with sufficient recovery time, which I appreciate greatly.
