Dr. Jeffrey Placzek , associates and staff are, the greatest, they are very knowledgeable, attentive, polite and respectful. I hadn't had a need to see Dr. Placzek in over 50yr, until now. He is so knowledgeable and professional that his professional care, advice and instruction heal my hands over 50yrs ago. When I incurred this current injury he was the 1st phone call I made due to the intense pain. I was directed by his staff, to get emergency attention and I know I'm in great hands and the healing process has began. GOD Bless you guys always. Thank you soooo much I appreciate the professional care, and removing obstacles. Respectful Constance MckenziePatient Submitted Review

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Placzek. He was friendly, informative, used layman's terms so I understood everything, and didn't push the surgical or injection options. That was very important to me. The last Dr. I saw wanted to rush into surgery right away. Dr. Placzek gave me options to try first. His staff was very friendly and that also goes a very long way with me. A+ in my book!Patient Submitted Review

Now that they joined the other orthopedic office they seem to have the calling wait for an appointment down to an acceptable time and on hold not waiting 2 1/2 hours to get a person on the phone to make an appointment. Then, Dr Placzek, isn't just nice he is very knowledgeable and helpful. Even if he knows you have a different medical issue in your body that he doesn't work on he helps you located some Doctors if you need help. He has helped me in the past and now I need him again and I trust him implicitly.Patient Submitted Review

I had Dr. Placzek perform carpel tunnel surgery on my left wrist. My pre-surgery appointments went smoothly. I was seen on time and Dr. Placzek and his staff were friendly and professional. He took enough time with me to learn my current medical concerns and answered all of my questions. I was told how the operation was performed and how my recovery should go. On the day of my surgery, I was impressed by the out-patient center and all of the people taking care of me. The surgery went exactly as I was told it would go. Dr. Placzek saw me prior to and shortly after the surgery. He also called me two days after my surgery to check up on me.

I was impressed with Dr. Placzek and his staff. He diagnosed the issues I have with my hand, took the time to explain the diagnoses, and answered all my questions without making me feel rushed. He was easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. He gave me an injection with ultrasound guidance and he did a great job of making the procedure as painless as possible.rater8 Verified Patient

I sustained an accidental stab injury to my hand. I am a PA in internal medicine myself and didn’t want to go through the ER so the day after the injury, my husband called around to different orthopedic hand specialists to try and get me in ASAP, including the office associated with the hospital where I work. No one was willing to see me for almost a week. I was pretty sure I was going to need hand surgery given the depth of the injury and residual numbness and didn’t feel comfortable waiting a week. My husband called Dr Placzek’s office. The receptionist spoke with Dr Placzek regarding my injury and symptoms and he wanted me seen ASAP and the receptionist was able to get me in that afternoon. I was impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of everyone I encountered that day during my appointment. I was scheduled for surgery the next day and the entire day was smooth from start to finish and I was once again impressed with my care. Being in healthcare myself, I have high standards and the orthopedic office and surgery center checked all the boxes for meeting exceptional care. Thank you for the amazing care and for fixing my precious hand, Dr Placzek! I am forever grateful!Patient Submitted Review

A little over a year ago, I was accidentally catapulted down about 8 stairs onto my cement basement floor - right onto my left elbow and hip. My elbow joint severed off and was facing the wrong way in my arm. I initially had an appointment scheduled with Dr. Fargo in Brighton, but after reviewing my X-ray, he referred me to Dr. Placzek. I was terrified but Dr. Placzek was able to explain exactly what happened regarding my break and also how he would attempt to fix my elbow. My break was rare but he felt confident he could fix my elbow. He also scheduled my surgery for the next day so I didn't have to walk around with my break for days. The surgery went well and he was able to re-connect my joint with 3 screws. Later that night, he called from his personal phone to see how I was doing. I consider him an extremely capable and compassionate doctor and I would definitely recommend him to friends and family. In addition, I wanted my follow-up physical therapy at a center in Brighton close to my house. He would not allow this saying he needed to rely on his team of physical therapists so that he could be assured I was getting the best therapy for my recovery. His team of physical therapists lead by Darren Gustitus gained me almost 100% stretch of my arm. Without them, I'm sure I wouldn't have gained nearly as much strength and extension. Thank you so much for all you have done to put me back to normal :-) Andrea KeanPatient Submitted Review

The best hand surgeon ever! Dr P had to do a revision on my very damaged wrist. His work was impeccable and the outcome was remarkable! I can (after 11 screw and a plate on my lower arm) now do a full body push-up again. I don’t even think about my badly damaged arm now. It’s simply functional.Patient Submitted Review

My husband was referred to Dr. Placzek due to an infection in his finger...the personal care and attention he showed to my husband (even when the office was closed [he was on call]) was reminenscent of when doctors made house calls... that in itself solidified his place in the list of "Greats" for us...It's not always what a person says that makes the difference...it is how they make us feel...and we felt (my husband felt) cared for...Thank you, Dr. Placzek.Patient Submitted Review

I suffered for seven years! My hands and eyes are how I make a living and it got to the point where hand braces and soaking in epsom salt no longer eased the pain. I feared surgery may make my hands worse and I would no longer be able to work or do the hobbies I love. Finally I made the call to Dr. Placzek's office. It is the Best thing I have ever done for myself! I no longer wake up at night with my hands and arms tingling! I can ride my snowmobile and motorcycle without stopping due to my hands going numb. I can grip the controls! All is Wonderful!Patient Submitted Review

After suffering with a frozen shoulder and attending PT for 3 months, I was recommended to see Dr. Placzek about a shoulder manipulation. Dr. Placzek was welcoming, knowledgeable, and a miracle worker. I had very little discomfort after the procedure and gained an amazing range of motion, mobility and much less pain quickly after the procedure. I wish I would have seen him earlier, but I would definitely trust him with my care again.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Placzek is amazing, I loved the way he talked directly to my 15 year old son and made him feel at ease and comfortable. He has a great bed side manner and did a fantastic job repairing my sons broken finger tip where the bone was exposed and the nail bed destroyed. I would highly recommend him to anyone with hand/wrist issues, I have already told my Mom she has to see him because she's been suffering severe hand pain from an old injury.Patient Submitted Review

Out of all the specialist and surgeons my family has been under the care of in our lives, we have never come across a doctor with such an amazing bedside manor. Dr. Placzek communicates on a level his patients can understand and leave feeling comfortable upon leaving. From start to finish we couldn't have been more impressed. Thank you Dr. Placzek.Patient Submitted Review

I went to him for carpal tunnel problems and the surgeries were quick and effective. I am now back 4 years later with a different problem. My Family practice doctor wasn't too interested in my elbow problems so I came back here. After an EMG and two MRI's the problem is clearly defined as torn tendons in the elbow and pinched nerve in the spine. Now I can get the correct treatment. I find him to be very thoughtful in tracking the problem.26750 Providence Parkway, Suite 220

Dr Placzek is very knowledgeable and caring. He did carpal tunnel surgery on both of my hands a year ago. He recently diagnosed my new wrist issues and educated me on how to exercise them to strengthen them. I will return to him for all of my wrist & hand needs.
