I ran late due to construction and a higher than normal flow of traffic. The receptionist offered to see if the Doctor would see me if I waited or I could reschedule. I opted to wait. I barely had the first form filled out when they called me back. After they took my vitals I continued to fill out the forms. Still didn’t get them finished when the Doctor knocked on the door. Impressive when I was the one that was late.
More than 1 year agoRobert C.Verified patient
Office was clean, quiet and staff was friendly and responsive. Doctor was running about 20 minutes behind, but the nurse apologized as she took me to the room and the doctor apologized as he walked in the room as well. Happy to report there is still customer service in healthcare! Dr. was friendly and thorough. He asked numerous questions and allowed me to ask others about medications, history, concerns, etc. Very positive experience!
February 27, 2020Christopher A.Verified patient
Dr Pletzer was excellent! I was experiencing a head-scratching phenomenon and had very little idea where to begin. However, very shortly after stepping into Dr Pletzer's office, he greeted me with a diagnosis, and was very detailed about what was happening. A week later...sure enough....my problem is no longer occuring. I could not be happier! Thank you to Dr Pletzer and the delightful staff!

I was disappointed that after having my 16 y.o. in for a physical that he was unable to receive his immunizations at this location. We were referred to another IU facility for an appointment to receive shots

A most delightful doctor: astute w/all aspects of human conditions who referred me to proper personality with my very serious condition & listens plus takes notes in a genuine & informed manner. Dr. Pletzer appreciates the value of my history and takes notes with relish & time to look & listen before entering what i imagine to be astute notes....His wonderful welcoming staff & allegiance at IU & in the community as a private practice doctor show his clear Dr. Pletzer is upbeat, positive, optimistic, empathetic & has solutions plus imparts a sense of vitality from who he is as a human being & practicioner of Hippocratic oath. I feel 100% at home & confident in his ability to represent my needs today & in the future. He is wholesome & earned his way with due diligence & wisdom. We connect well & he is the best pcp I've ever met! It's a privilege & honor to be his patient for 1 year & hopefully for many to come! i trust his decisions & his rapid response. He's chosen to become acquainted with my diverse history with acceptance & aplomb.

Dr. Spech was great. Asked a gazillion questions and made absolutely sure we were on the same page. He spent all of the time needed and never seemed to be in a hurry to move on to the next patient. He answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. I found a good one here.
