Dr. Plagens got straight to the point which I like, it showed he is a very concerned and truthful doctor. Great bedside manner!

Dr. Plagens' bedside manner was great. I stopped seeing my previous doctor due to him being a bully. Dr. Plagens took the time to hear what I had to say and came up with a treatment plan we both could agree upon.
