Review for Dr. Sporer
Dr. Placek is absolutely wonderful. She is so kind, helpful, and really makes you feel comfortable. As a first time mom, there are so many unknowns that I question, but Dr. Placek helped reassure me. I know I’m in the best hands with her.

I delayed getting knee surgery until I found the right doctor. Dr Sporer and his team were outstanding. The pre prep, operation and follow up could not have been better.
