5 /5 Deanne Campopiano: Ive been needing an incredibly complex and difficult knee surgery for quite a long time, and had a previous major knee surgery fail because it was not thorough enough. Dr Plessl not only found all of the issues going on, he took time to research exactly how to fix it and considered all the additional things that might go on during the procedure. I am only 10 days post-op now, and while this will be a long and complex recovery, I already feel further along in my physical therapy progress than I did last time 2 MONTHS into recovery for a much less complex procedure.
Not only that, he has consistently gone above and beyond to explain every detail of what he was doing and considering. And anytime Ive encountered an issue with bureaucratic stuff like insurance or scheduling or communication between offices and made him aware of it, he has stepped in and resolved them for me.
He is very busy with an amazing reputation (for very good reason!) But I still often feel like I am his only patient everytime we communicate.
This experience has been very complicated and painful, but I knew from the first appointment that I was putting myself in the right hands for it. He continues to prove me right, and Im very glad to know that he will be here for the rest of my recovery! And hopefully any future orthopedic surgeries I ever need, because this has been the best experience I have ever had with any doctor. I have a variety of chronic conditions and have seen many, but never one with both the bedside manner and talent of Dr Plessl.
