Patient Reviews
Oct 17, 2023
Dr. Ploch goes above and beyond! He explained the surgical procedure at length and drew a diagram so I would have a full understanding. He is not rushed and takes all the time needed to answer questions. NEVER did you feel he had one foot out the door! He saw me every morning in the hospital and his NP saw me every afternoon. He is truly an amazing surgeon. His office staff was very efficient and super friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Ploch!!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
