Dr. Plakas and Coastal Pediatric Practice
Dr. Plakas and his staff are wonderful. Having multiple children ,playing sports, I have called him more than I would like to admit. He is always available, meets me in the hospital at any hour, truly cares about your child and remembers everything that happened. Top notch all around. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Plakas and his staff more!

Great experience!
Dr. Plakas saw my daughter quickly and answered her many, many questions patiently and honestly, during the initial visit and the follow up. The office staff was lovely and also patient and kind with her. I would recommend this practice whole heartedly.

Best pediatric ortho out there!
Dr. Plakas was amazing with our daughter from our first consult to our final visit. We wouldn’t have trusted anyone else to perform her surgery. I don’t know another doctor that makes himself available on his private phone for his patients, even on a weekend. We were able to get our questions or concerns handled about her recovery at any time of the day. Dr. Plakas and his office staff are outstanding. We are so lucky to have met him. We owe our daughter’s excellent recovery to him!

Dr. Plakas is an amazing Dr. He’s confident, caring, informative & I have complete faith & trust in him. The care for my 10 year old son has been top-notch, and I recommend him any chance I can. He explained everything & was so patient & professional! He was very skilled and had an excellent bedside manner. I had confidence when my son was going into surgery that all would go well. As a scared mom at the hospital, he had so much patience while I asked him every question I could think of. Very easy making follow up appointments & Dr. Plakas is easily accessible.

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.

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.

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.
