Patient Reviews
Jan 30, 2019
Dr Plauka is wonderful and very caring but i have to switch to another dr because the front desk staff is sooo rude not caring about the patients that all. and if you call to speak with dr if you sick they do everything they can to don't happen they acting like they are the doctor,it's just horrible. I just reported them to my health insurance company and don't believe in 5 stars reviews that must be from the people o work there. Don't Go There.
