The visit was great
My initial visit with Dr Platzman went well. His staff was friendly and prompt. Dr Platzman seemed very positive but also tactfully direct about some concerns he had. I have been very hesitant about PCP's because of the assembly line feel of the offices and as a result I've preferred to use urgent care, but so far so good. I hope Dr Platzman is different
Verified patient
I would recommend dr platzman to anyone and everyone! His bedside manner is extraordinary. He actually sits down and takes the time to get to know you. He is so personable and down to earth. I love his holistic approach to health and his focus on disease prevention. He is very thorough in his assessments, history collection, tests ordered and health education provided. I felt very safe and comfortable in his care. I trust this doctor a lot already and it was only my first visit! Anyone would be in good hands with dr platzman.
Verified patient
It was a great experience, clean facility, nice staff and doctor, I get in and out smoothly, better yet, the testing lab is right by the office, which makes it even more convenient.

Thorough, knowledgeable and attentive.
Verified patient
I went to the doctor for an annual physical. I haven't had a physical for many years and wanted to get an update on my health. I also don't have a regular doctor and was hoping to establish a long term relationship with the doctor. Although the doctor was nice, his enquiry into my medical and health matters felt shallow. Also, he delegated his feedback about my blood results to his receptionist. Overall, I didn't feel that the level of care provided warrants a return but that said, perhaps my expectations are higher than what the US medical system normally offers. My search continues...
Verified patient
Outstanding Doctor. Great knowledge. Patient and answered all questions. Cares about his patients. Outstanding experience!
Verified patient
Great experience. Nice guy, minimal wait.
Verified patient
Dr.Platzman is very caring and sensitive for the patient's disability and special needs. I highly admire his professionalism.
Dr. Platzman is both friendly and professional; both humble and highly knowledgeable; both compassionate and straightforward. This was, by far, one of my best experiences at a doctor's office. At a time where everything was going wrong, who could have guessed that the highlight of my day would be a last-minute appointment with a doctor I'd never seen before? I give my wholehearted endorsement to Dr. Platzman.
Verified patient
He listened to my concerns and addressed them.
Verified patient
It was my first visit with Dr. Platzman, and he made me feel comfortable from the very moment I met him. That includes his staff. The reviews I read about him lived up to the hype! His credentials are stellar. But more than that, he was personable, professional and thorough. I sensed that he loves his work and really cares about his patients. If you're contemplating a new doctor - experience the Platzman experience! I doubt you will be disappointed - I wasn't.
Verified patient
Exceptional! The best doctor's visit I've had... probably since I was a kid. And that includes the whole visit, from check-in with a really pleasant and helpful and competent receptionist, to an excellent nurse and then Dr. Platzman himself. He does a great job of being efficient while also getting to know you and listening to what's going on. I was really impressed with the whole office. It feels like a place I could really make my medical home!
Verified patient
Dr. Platzman and his staff are very professional, courteous and friendly. They take the time to get to know me on a more personal level so I never feel like just a number but rather a patient who's health and well being is important.
Excellent as always!!
It was great!
