I have nothing but good things to say about Mr Plaha. He has a very calming manner and exceptional communication skills. I was very anxious about having my foot surgery due to previous surgery on my other foot not going as well as it could have. Mr Plaha explained everything in detail and answered all my questions with great care and attention. I did not feel rushed and was completely put at ease. The day I had surgery Mr Plaha really reassured me everything would be okay and even drew a smiley face on my foot which sounds silly to mention but showed how caring of a surgeon he was saying that will be my face after surgery. I am so thankful I had him as my surgeon and cannot praise both himself and the nurses who looked after me for making a very anxious and worried patient the most relaxed I could have been. Thank you all for the wonderful job that you all do as a team.
Thank you very much for your kind words 🙏🙏. I am pleased that your surgery has gone well. Best Wishes 👍😀
