Testimonials

My husband has been a patient of Dr. Plancher for many years. I accompanied him for many of his appointments. When Dr Plancher performed surgery on him, he spoke to me after the surgery and explained how everything went. He always spoke to me with respect and explained everything to me so I would understand. Words cannot say enough of what an unbelievable and caring practice Dr Plancher and his staff are. They are the most caring and helpful staff. They go far beyond their duties to assist their patients. We live in New Jersey. The traffic and the parking situation in NYC is very trying and difficult. Once you enter the office you know that you are in the best place for all Orthopaedic needs. Dr. Plancher reaches out to doctors himself to make sure you are getting the best care possible.

Dr Plancher and his staff make you feel as though you are the only patient that they have. I highly recommend Plancher Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine.

I have been a patient of Dr. Plancher for over 15 years and he and his entire Staff have been excellent providing outstanding care.

Dr. Plancher is very thorough in his assessment of the whole person not just your injury, this set him apart from others.

I value his expertise and trust his diagnosis, and plan of treatment from pre-surgery to total rehabilitation.

Thank you Dr. Plancher for treating my knee injuries recently with have a partial knee replacement in one leg and a complete replacement of the knee in my other leg, These procedures have made walking a comfortable experience once again!

I have received excellent diagnoses, procedures and care at Plancher Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine. Dr. Plancher has performed two unicompartmental knee replacements (2006 and 2014), and a shoulder replacement (2018). I am pain free with complete range of motion in each joint since each surgical procedure, and fully capable in my chosen activities. Terrific staff, great followup and guidance throughout.

~ Tom Helling


Back in 2005 I was so happy to find Dr. Plancher after several years of pain and discomfort with my knee. Dr. Plancher was very understanding and thorough before doing the replacement. So, 18 years pain free and no issues walking and I am able to exercise and live a normal life. I also had a Muni knee replacement in my other knee 10 years ago, again no issues. Lots of physical therapy and I am happy and pain free. I highly recommend Dr. Plancher for doing knee replacements.

Dr. Planner gave me a new ACL 22 years ago and I was back to marathon training in 3 months. I moved from NYC to New Hampshire but he and his office have stayed in touch to check in. I actually just saw him yesterday to see how it was holding up and he says the MRI/CT/Xrays show that it looks amazing. I was not surprised as, now at 50, I’m not hindered at all – cycling, skiing even some occasional basketball! I lucked out when I got an appointment with Dr. Plancher and his team and I’m grateful to still be in contact. He cares so much about his patients and his passion for his work is unmatched.

Frank DeGennaroI’ve been going to Dr. Plancher for many years and have had two meniscus repairs and I’m amazed how much better I feel and the years of activity I have been blessed to have. I’m extremely active in the mountains and depend on my legs. Anyone serious about getting better, come see Dr Plancher!!

~ Frank DeGennaro


I had ACL/meniscus surgery with Dr Plancher in 2011 and could not be happier. The surgery was a complete success – I still ski and play tennis to this day – and the care I received from the practice could not have been better. He is a great surgeon with an exceptionally efficient and customer service oriented practice. He is the only doctor I ever had who reaches out proactively to make sure I am still doing great.

~ Leah G.


Dr. Plancher, Christine, and Evonne are truly amazing! After having ten knee surgeries, including a knee replacement and knee revision with other surgeons; I was referred to Dr. Plancher by a friend. Their competency, compassion, and support were evident on my very first visit. Every single one of them really cares about your progress and wants you to be better than when you came to them. This review is specifically for anyone who feels they have reached a point where they cannot improve. Call Dr. Plancher and see what he can do for you… I am so happy that I did!

~ Keith Radio


I had a catastrophic injury that required two surgeries to the same knee in the same year. There was so much trauma to the knee that the corrective procedures were too intense to be carried out in one surgery.

After the care and attention of Dr Plancher—at the time of the injury and in the years since with progress checks on how I have healed—my everyday activities have gone from strength to strength. I am active in yoga, hiking and trail running, on and off-road motorcycling, and I am a professional ski instructor.

My surgery with Dr Plancher allowed me to maintain everyday functionality of my knee after such a traumatic injury, but has also ensured that I can continue the quality of life that is important to me through sport.

Johannes HueblThanks for fixing my knee Kevin. The plan worked out.

13 years ago (2008), Dr. Plancher performed a total shoulder replacement of my right shoulder. Although I was “only” 55 at the time, no cartilage remained, I was in pretty much constant pain and couldn’t sleep. He promised to take away my pain and I decided to go ahead with the surgery. This was hands down the right decision and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I have had no pain in the joint since. I was determined to return to my pre-arthritis activities and put in as much PT work as necessary to regain my range of motion and strength, and I continue to stretch and strengthen both shoulders. This surgery was a game-changer in improving my quality of life. Thank you, Dr. Plancher!

Our patient Gerard Mato danced his way out of the hospital, with no pain, after a partial right knee replacement (a.k.a. UNI) on October 12, 2021.


Dr. Plancher,

Just wanted to say thank you again, for everything. It’s hard to capture in words how much you helped me these past two years, and sitting in your practice today, I felt ill-equipped to fully convey to you my gratitude.

When I first met you for my consultation nearly 2.5 years ago, I felt like my life had been blown apart in the worst way possible. Exercise was more than my hobby. It was my identity, my therapy, my health, my confidence, my social circle, and my competitive edge. I was full of despair and uncertainty.

Over the next couple years, as I routed all my frustration, energy, and need for achievement into obtaining my masters and working self-defeating hours at work, I felt my sense of self slowly trickle out of me, evaporating out of every pore leaving emptiness behind.

But in that time, the thing that reenergized me and made me feel full of life again were all of the trips up to NYC. The travel and discovering the joys of riding the train, the excitement in catching an iconic yellow taxi, the sense of progress on my knee, looking up and seeing the skyline of a city I grew up reading about, were a huge highlight for me. Yes, even to get surgery! And throughout all of that, getting the opportunity to work with you, be your patient, and feel like part of your team sustained me. I have learned a lot from you, and look up to you as more than just my doctor. Part mentor, part friend, part leader, part lighthouse in the storm, and someone with whom I simply click.

So when you asked me today to compare how I felt before the surgeries with how I feel today, I was overwhelmed. Because as you see, the comparison is so much more than just the knee. I am forever grateful for you and my heart holds a special place for you that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.

Thank you for everything,
Allison


Johannes HueblEight week post surgery visit with Dr. Kevin Plancher.” Good as new – could not have been in better hands and more thankful.

– Johannes Huebl


I first met Dr Plancher for an IME regarding a shoulder injury. His attention to details and confidence in his assessment and skills is what made me confident that he was the right surgeon for me. I am only 3 weeks out from the surgery and am very pleased with the overall experience. Thank you Dr Plancher I’m eager to get back to my regular life.

– Eric Tucker


I’m a Local 79 Mason Tender/Laborer who suffered a serious knee injury on the job. After being denied treatment elsewhere, due to it being a Workers Comp claim, I was referred by someone over at Professional PT to Dr. Kevin Plancher. I was welcomed with open arms and honest answers to all my questions and concerns. The entire team is amazing and I thank each and every one of them for all their help. Couldn’t have asked for a better Surgeon. Appreciate ya, Doc! Thanks for getting me back on my feet.

– Luis Rodriguez


I was referred to Dr. Plancher by a business colleague who was delighted with his experience. I found Dr. Plancher to be very patient friendly, happy to answer any questions and not afraid to give tough medicine. My partial knee replacement went smoothly and recovery was full and speedy after following the doctors specific rehab requirements. I would highly recommend him.

– Brian Murphy


5 stars doesn’t do them justice, Dr. Plancher and his team are truly in a league of their own and completely unparalleled by any other practice! I drive over 6 hours each way to be seen and it is 110% worth it. Between the expertise and customer service provided, you will be hard-pressed to find an office that will give you such amazing service in every capacity. I am typically a very difficult to impress person, especially when it comes to healthcare, and from day 1 on I have been truly blown away. Dr. Plancher’s knowledge, experience, and bedside manner is far above the standard you find with any other doctor. And all the staff go out of their way to make the patient feel taken care of, and when I say all, I mean ALL. I will forever be thankful for the superior quality of work Dr. Plancher did and beyond happy with the overall experience I had with this practice.

– Tarren Horvath


We came from Puerto Rico to see Dr Plancher. Since our first visit , we had an amazing experience, We were treated so well and it was a blessing having Dr Plancher doing the surgery. He is the best, we couldn’t ask for more.

– Marily Gonzalez


I’ve been a patient of Dr. Plancher for over 10yrs. He’s an amazing surgeon and the work he did on my shoulder had been phenomenal. I have full range of motion and have not skipped a beat when it comes to activities and daily life. I can’t say enough about his team as well, great people.

– Vesna Babic


I had a significant knee injury in Dec of 2018. Initially I went to a large orthopedic practice and felt like I was a “number”. They insisted I didn’t need surgery because of my age and because I was not a professional athlete. I had a very pensive ski season after the initial rehab. I went to see Dr Plancher in June of 2020. He recommended that I undergo knee reconstruction (ACL) surgery. I had the surgery in August 2020 and I was able to walk (carefully) with out pain in 2 days! Dr Plancher and his staff are so caring and professional. They take the extra time to explain all of the procedures, surgery, recovery, PT and answer any questions in extreme detail. They made me feel like I was was a very important athlete even though I’m just a mom that enjoys skiing. Thank you Plancher Orthopedics for getting me back to skiing in the moguls and trees!

– Silvia Doyle


Dr. Plancher did a half knee replacement and it has been one of best medical decisions at 59 years old that I could have made. I suffered for about six years before the decision to do the operation, unable to play high intensity sports and even day to day activities was becoming a challenge. In Dr. Plancher consultation he assured me that with the half knee replacement surgery and adhering to his strict rehabilitation program, I would improve my current level of pain and activities. I now run, play basketball, and golf with no pain or limitations. One of The best orthopedic doctor in my opinion.

– Barry Facen


I recently walked into Dr. Plancher’s office knowing that I had a bad knee problem. His staff are exceptionally professional and helped me get in quickly as I was in much pain.. After the initial pre-exam, Dr.Plancher walked in and I knew I would be in good hands- I think it was my first time EVER meeting with an Orthopaedic doctor who listened to me and did not rush me out the door. He had the patience to explain the issues until I understood what really was going on with my knee and we talked about several options after seeing my MRI.. Thanks to Dr. Plancher and his excellent team, I finally have a plan. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Plancher.

– Carole Delouvrier


I already knew that Dr. Plancher was an exceptionally talented, careful, and comprehensive diagnostician and surgeon because of his excellent work with several members of my family, some of whom had complex cases. (Those stories are worth another 5 stars — even more if that were possible!) I had never had the need to see him myself until recently when I fell while hiking, landing on my knee. I treated the injury myself with ice and anti-inflammatories, but the healing was slow, and I became concerned that I had damaged it more than I knew. This was an issue because I was training for a 60-mile fundraising walk — a walk I had been training for for 6 months — and needed to know that participating in the walk wouldn’t do additional damage. Time was of the essence — I had only two weeks before the event — so I called the office and asked if they could squeeze me in — during a week with two holidays no less. They moved heaven and earth to get me in. Dr. Plancher and his team were thorough, spending a great deal of time with me. After an x-ray and MRI we discovered that I had bone contusions and could participate in the walk with a brace, anti-inflammatories as needed, and some common sense. The walk went really well, and my knee felt strong during and following. Thanks so much to Dr. Plancher and his entire team for helping me realize my goal and keep my knee safe at the same time.

Everyone at this office is operating at the top of their game. From initial contact with Lisa and Ivonne, to meeting with Joe and Dr. Arutyunyan was painless and pleasant. Dr. A’s bedside manner is excellent and even though he’s one of the best and brightest orthopedic surgeons in the area he connects on a personal level I didn’t think Doctors did anymore. He explains every step of what he’s thinking, and clearly called out all the risks I was and wasn’t aware of. One of the things i love is that he shares with you the game plan, what’s going to happen and when. It might sound silly, but being included at that level really helped me keep calm and also articulate the procedure(s) to my loved ones. So much so that when my father needed back reconstruction I flew him in to meet him, and picked a surgery date minutes after meeting him. My family and I owe this team of professionals a huge debt of gratitude.

My wife and I have been patients of Plancher Orthapedics for many years, through surgeries on knees, shoulders and hands, ever since the wheels began to fall off the bus. We are active people who really care about the quality of our lives, and Dr. Plancher has kept us in the game. He understood that our objective was to remain as strong and active as possible, and, over the years, he has advised us wisely with this in mind. Four years ago, instead of replacing my wife’s shoulder, a relatively standard procedure, Dr. Plancher opted to rebuild it, because he believed that, at the end of the day, this would result in a more normal-feeling shoulder. It did. My wife and I are a living testimonial to his professionalism and skill as a surgeon.


About 2 weeks ago, my wife and I had separate procedures at Plancher Orthapedics – she, for a knee; me, for a hand. I am writing now to comment on the Covid-19 procedures that we experienced at the Park Avenue office. I won’t detail them here, because the policy and procedures are laid out in detail on the Plancher Orthadedics’ website. And yes, Dr. Plancher and every member of the staff follow them religiously. Suffice it to say they are off-the-charts careful. I cannot imagine a more Covid-19 secure environment, short of requiring a full Covid-19 test (not just a temperature check) at the front door before a patient is allowed to walk inside.


Since I am on the subject of our most recent experience with Plancher Orthepedics, I would also like to comment on one other thing that I think makes Plancher Orthapedics exceptional. That is the care that Dr. Plancher takes to know his patient’s medical history, to prescribe safe pain-management and other medications and to provide post-op nursing care and PT options, designed to fit the individual needs of the patient. In the case of my wife’s recent knee surgery, the process started with extremely thorough pre-op medical exams and imaging and a series of unhurried interviews with Dr. Plancher and his PA, then outpatient surgery in a NY City hospital (chosen because of the low number of Covid cases), followed by post-op nursing care by RNs with extensive orthopedic experience and home PT sessions, which gave her the support and confidence to relax and get well.

Dr. Plancher is the BEST Orthopaedics physician east of the Mississippi! I have been his patient for over 20 years and would not trust anyone else to touch me. I destroyed my knee when I was 22 and was lucky enough to have my reconstruction under the famed Dr. J. Richard Steadman. When I moved east, I needed a dr. here. One call to Vail and I had Dr. P’s number. His manner is straight forward and to the point, no sugar-coating or hemming and hawing. He knows what he is doing and will tell what you need. He will listen to your questions, answer succinctly, and lay out what you need to know about your condition. My next surgery is knee replacement and I’m looking forward to being pain-free. I travel from NH and as much as that can be trying during a pandemic, I won’t go anywhere else.

I wanted to thank you and the entire staff at Dr Plancher’s for the amazing care I received in your office.

I can happily report I am back to running 4-5 times a week, 4 miles a day. I feel great and I have no pain while I run….my stamina on the other hand is a whole other story (LOL)

I wanted to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude for what Dr Plancher did for me.
He is the most selfless human being I’ve ever met and I am so grateful to have met him and be under his care. He was professional, caring, charismatic and all around amazing.

I have so much respect for him as well as every single person working with him, you are an amazing team and you will always hold a very special place in my heart.

Please forward this message to Dr Plancher and the rest of the staff.

Wishing you all a safe and happy summer ahead.

Sincerely,

– Sophie Tawil

Falcon JaacksHi Dr. Plancher,

Two years ago today you fixed my right clavicle, and I just wanted to write and thank you again for how fantastic a job you did. I am so grateful that my shoulders match symmetrically and I don’t notice any functional difference between the sides. The scar has also healed tremendously and isn’t very noticeable.

I also wanted to let you know that will be attending UW Madison in the fall and plan to row for their lightweight women’s rowing team. I attribute my ability to row at a high performance level to your work of repairing my bone perfectly.


I hope things are well enough for you in this pandemic.

“I went to two other orthopedists and told them I had pain in my leg- but mostly in my hip area. I may have said there was a bit of pain in my back so they both insisted on X-rays of my back only. The diagnosis they gave me was arthritis in my back. I kept arguing it was not in my back and that I was seeing a chiropractor for a few months who was suggesting it wasn’t my back also. The doctors just didn’t want to hear it. I asked for an MRI or an X-Ray of my legs but they just wouldn’t listen to me. This happened over a period of 5 months, trying different anti-inflammatories and remedies. It was a very frustrating process. By this point, both sides of my hips were hurting and this is when I decided to see Dr. Plancher, who listened to me immediately. After the right injection, the pain was gone within just a few weeks. Dr. Plancher really listened to me and was able to help right away.”

“In my estimation if you need rotator cuff surgery there is no other doctor that I would recommend other than Dr. Kevin Plancher. First and foremost if you follow his protocol you will most likely experience absolutely no pain or discomfort. You most likely will not need any pain medication and most importantly you will gain full range of motion.
Another biggie for me is his attention to detail. He is not only looking at the surgery he is going to perform but he is looking at you as a whole. Your well-being is first and foremost with him. If he sees something in your blood work or medical history that makes him feel the least little bit apprehensive, he will work with you to get that issue resolved and then proceed.
His prescription for physical therapy is extremely detailed to insure that there is no misunderstanding on exactly what and when each exercise should be introduced.
I recommend Dr. Plancher without hesitation.”

“Partial knee replacements done seven years ago have given me total relief from years of severe pain with absolutely no side effects or restrictions on any physical activity. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Plancher and his staff, and other patients I’ve referred to him, have been just as delighted.”


“This letter concerns the care I received from Plancher Orthopaedics 1160 Park Ave, NY. NY. In specific the care I received directly from Dr. Plancher. I originally visited Plancher Orthopaedics in late 2007 regarding an injury to my left shoulder. I believed this injury was sustained from a combination of my martial arts practice (Aikido), and my lifelong hobby of sailing. While not being able to specifically identify the cause, the results were clear: I had lost significant range of motion, was operating at what I thought to be 60% of my potential strength (or worse in some cases), and had a lot of pain from certain everyday movements and positions. I was pretty upset as this injury had stopped my sailing and Aikido (my two favorite activities), and the pain was disturbing my sleep. My original intake visit was friendly and efficient. The technicians took X-rays of my shoulder and I was put in a consulting room where I had to wait like we all do. Dr. Plancher came in, introduced himself and conducted a friendly and business like interview. We first covered my previous medical history. He then inquired about the specific reasons for my appointment, requiring me to provide as much detail as possible when describing my injury. Next I was given a thorough physical exam by the Dr. where he both identified the difference in range of motion and the specific areas of pain. Finally, he took me through a review of the X-Rays and clearly showed how my shoulder was not where it should be (my words) in the various angle shots. He recommended I obtain an MRI to be certain, but based on his physical exam and the X-Ray review; he offered his preliminary diagnosis of a torn Labrum. I obtained the MRI and on my follow up visit the Doctor was able to confirm his diagnosis. He gave me options to consider, but advised the Bankart procedure as being the best solution. Stating he executed this procedure many times with excellent results, he assured me he could repair my Labral tear and that with real effort on my part through the recovery, I could go back to doing the activities I enjoy the most. I consented to the surgery, which was scheduled and performed early in January 2008. Overall my surgery went as smoothly as I could have wished (it was performed at Beth Israel on 17th and 2nd Ave). The part I do remember well was Dr. Plancher quizzed me prior to surgery, asking if I had followed his specific instructions in washing my left shoulder with special antibacterial soap for the three days prior, to reduce the opportunity for infection. Let’s just say I was relieved I had remembered to do it. I then met individually with his attending surgeon Dr. Marianne Gardner. She asked if I knew why I was there, what procedure would be performed, if I was prepared and finally for my consent to undergo the surgery. She then signed my shoulder before I was taken to the operating room. I woke up 4 hours later. When the staff felt it was safe for me to go, I had a friend pick me up and I returned home, where I began the arduous process of icing and recovery. Dr. Plancher recommended Dynamic Sports Physical Therapy to me, and in specific John Diamond as the therapist to help me regain my range of motion and strength, safely. Their care of me was exemplary, and I am truly grateful to both Dr. Plancher and Mr. Diamond for their efforts over that six month period ending June of 2008. The amount of work we put in to rehabbing my shoulder was significant, and I’m not sure everyone in this city dedicates the amount of time necessary for this step, but I am rather attached to my left shoulder so I gave it every moment they suggested I should. Two days ago I had my five-year follow up with Dr. Plancher. Once again he took his time to evaluate me personally asking and answering questions about my shoulder. I reported having no pain since the end of my physical therapy and he confirmed my range of motion was excellent. Additionally , I told him since our last visit in 2008 I had been able to fulfill my dream of passing my Shodan exam (getting my black belt) in Aikido, and recently been promoted to Nidan (second degree black belt). I also shared that I had raced in the following offshore sailboat races: 2011 Trans-Atlantic, 2011 Fastnet, 2012 Bermuda races, on Snow Lion, which placed near the top of the fleet in all the above races. Dr. Plancher’s care for me along the entire continuum of our relationship has been nothing short of life changing. I went from being an injured man who could not enjoy his daily movements let alone his favorite activities, back to a highly functioning amateur athlete. I ascribe my ability to participate in my favorite activities now specifically to his surgery, and follow-up care. Both he and his entire staff behave in the most professional manner and it is worth mentioning I had access to Dr. Plancher whenever I requested it. Words cannot fully describe my appreciation of their efforts nor my gratitude for being able to participate in my favorite activities, which would not have been possible without this surgery’s successful outcome. I welcome any questions you might have for me.”


“I could not say enough about this office from the front staff that say welcome to the whole staff and then the doctor there are caring willing to help in all parts of your healing always there with an ear to listen and always ready to help un block any road blocks in your care; if you are looking for a great and smart doctor you cannot go wrong making them your care givers.”


“A top notch doctor that we have referred to many people. Worth the wait and he has performed surgery (shoulder for myself and hand for my wife) with definite, long lasting success.”


“I highly recommend this doctor and his staff.”


“I tore my ACL in 2008. Dr. Plancher explained the surgery and the post-op to me completely thoroughly and saw that I was okay through it all. The surgery went perfectly and quickly and Dr. Plancher was there by my side the whole time. He contacted me multiple times post-op. I have since been able to do activities I couldn’t even do before the surgery and am 100% pain free!!! Dr. Plancher is an amazing surgeon and has great bed side manner. He is also top rated in New York (I did my research before surgery). HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”


“Amazing Doctor. Did everything right, surgery went smoothly and he followed up with me for days afterward. Would highly recommend!!!”


“I had a full right shoulder replacement 3 years ago. It took me a year to make the decision–I was “only” 55 at the time, which was on the young side for a total replacement. However, with virtually no cartilage remaining and the bones grinding in my shoulder, I wasn’t sleeping and, well, I was tired of the pain. I am so glad that I had the surgery! Dr. Plancher said that he “could make the pain go away” and he was right.I have been virtually pain free for the past 2 years. I spent a year in PT making sure I got my strength and range of motion to where I could ski and be as active as possible. And, with the exception of being able to forecast the weather during wild barometer swings, I have no pain. I would have this surgery again in a minute and would highly recommend Dr. Plancher. He is a perfectionist and that is who I want to operate on me! Even my scar (which is about 5″ long) is almost invisible!”


“I have had 2 recent surgeries – a rotator cuff repair and a proximal hamstring reattachment carried out by Dr. Plancher. I am on the wrong side of 70 and at no stage had I any pain from either surgery which I attribute to Dr. Plancher’s skill, expertise and incomparable care. I continue to work full-time and have resumed my recreational activities of golf (walking the course) and gym-work. I unreservedly recommend Dr. Plancher and his Staff to all who require the services of a top-class surgeon.”


“Dr. Plancher was incredible ! My son broke his ankle playing roller hockey and needed a plate and screws. Dr. Plancher and his team treated us like we were family! His office was able to get us approved for an MRI in 1 day which is almost impossible and performed surgery within a week. 3 months after surgery my son is back to playing basketball and hockey ! Thank you Dr. Plancher.”


“Yes, you have to pay upfront but the office staff who work for Dr. Plancher file your claims for you. When it comes to your health you want the best. Personal attention and thoroughness. No cutting corners when it comes to Dr. Plancher, he’s the best in his field and truly takes the time to hear and help you out. I’ve been to him for 3 different injuries and he made sure all appropriate tests were done to insure he made the right diagnosis. He and his staff are always friendly and try to stay on schedule. They are always looking for ways to run their office more smoothly to make patients happy. You are in good hand with Dr. Plancher and his team.”
