Our experience with doctor Plakas has been excellent. He did a great job taking care of my 14 years old son's fracture of his ankle. Dr Plakas made himself available to perform surgery at midnight on a Sunday. He always replies to our calls, texts or emails in a prompt manner. The office staff is very professional and friendly, there is no waiting time on the appointments. Less than two months later, my son is recovering pretty well.

Dr. Plakas is amazing and would highly recommend him. My daughter broke her am and he came to the hospital and put a cast on her. He was patient and explained the whole process. He talked to her like she is an adult which made her very happy. She is usually doesn't like doctors but she loves him. His Office staff is also amazing with making follow up appointments and answer all my questions. They go above and beyond finding out information for me. so glad we got him and his office.

Couldn’t have been happier with Dr. Plakas and his office staff. My daughter felt the same way. We have already recommended him and will continue to do so.

Dr Plakas provides hands on care at the highest level you would want and expect for your child. He’s smart and thoughtful in his approach to your situation. I trusted him implicitly and would highly recommend to anyone who needs an excellent orthopedist for their child. I have already recommended him to two close friends.

Dr. Plakas took care of my 3 year old and was wonderful! He was very attentive to her and explained all of the options regarding her care clearly to us. He answered any questions thoroughly and allowed us to make an informed decision that was best for our daughter. He saw her through her injury and followed up months after to ensure her full recovery. His staff, like him was always pleasant and very helpful. I would highly recommend Dr. Plakas.

Him and his staff are so caring and saw my son immediately when he was hurt. They followed up and he listened like no other doctor I have ever seen. He truly cares about getting his patients better.

My entire experience with dr plakas was great. From the emergency surgery my son had in the hospital, to the follow up visits, i felt so comforted the entire time. I was able to ask as many questions as I wanted. All my emails were responded to very quickly. Even the girls at the front desk were really nice and caring. I was very emotional during all this but knowing my son was in great hands made this process much better. The dr even comforted me during the surgery while I was bawling my eyes out. I felt like he really cared. He talked out the whole process with me. He really is an amazing doctor.

My family has over the last couple of years needed a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. Each and every time, our first call was to DR. Plakas. He is so kind and patient (no pun intended) with each child, I was blown away, and we have been around the block before, as they say. In Lakewood, NJ where I live, he is one of the most respected and referred to Dr. for orthopedics.

My daughter fell and broke her arm the first week of school. I called Dr Plakas office that night and he met us at the hospital in the morning. He was great with daughter who is 5. Explained everything and was very thorough in her. Would highly recommend. The office staff was great with setting up appointments.

PATIENT, KIND and RESPONSIVE! My son broke his wrist on July 4th and unfortunately needed surgery. So upsetting, but Dr. Plakas made a stressful time for me and my son a little easier. Dr. Plakas has a great bedside manner. From the first night in the emergency room through the follow up after my son's surgery, Dr. Plakas always went above and beyond. We emailed him several times with questions...day or night, Dr. Plakas would respond very quickly. His staff is also very friendly and accomodating. Thank you for everything, Dr. Plakas!

Dr. Plakas went above and beyond to help take care of our 4 year old who broke her wrist. He even came in on a Saturday when his office was closed to cast her for us. He answered all of our questions and was so good with making her feel calm and comfortable! We would definitely highly recommend him!

We had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Plakas. He was very nice, helpful and informative, easily accessible, and showed genuine interest in my daughter's health and comfort while making the process for us as convenient as possible. While child and parent are in the trauma of injury, Dr. Plakas is the right address.
