Patient Reviews
Feb 14, 2016
Dr.Plesa is one in a million. She really cares about her patients and takes time to explain things without rushing you out the door. She is completely thorough and professional and is always available to answer questions and concerns. She is the primary doctor for myself, my son, and daughter. I have seen many specialists and doctors with my daughters condition and Dr. Plesa is by far our favorite! We LOVE her! If I could give her 100 stars I would!
