Michael Plakogiannis, MD

Best obgyn! Gentle and a wonderful person. I miss my appointments! Hoping to see you again very soon! Would recommend anyone to you!

I havent given birth yet, but so far I am very happy with Dr. Plakogiannis as my OB. He is very compassionate and takes the time to speak with you, gets back to you in a timely fashion and is very patient.
One specific time that stands out to me was when I was awaiting lab results early in my pregnancy. I was so nervous and it was a Friday, so I would be waiting all weekend in agony. He told me not to worry and if I didnt hear from him next week — that meant everything was okay. To my surprise, he called me later that night, at some time you would never expect a Dr. to call, at like 9PM or something — just to let me know they got the lab results and everything looked great! He said he didnt want me having a horrible weekend all nervous and stressed out. I thought that went above and beyond what I expected, or what an average doctor would do.
Also, every time I visit Lenox Hill for an ultrasound or what have you, they ALL know him and light up when you mention his name, so if thats not a good sign, I dont know what is!
Side note — in regard to the 2 star review, it is unfortunate her appointment was pushed back, but things happen in doctors offices that are sometimes unforeseen due to other patients being late, canceling, etc. By her own admission, the office did not cancel her appointment — she did. It’s unfair to rate this doctor 2 stars based on absolutely no experience with him. Just my two cents.

Extremely competent and knowledgeable. Wonderful bedside manner.

I absolutely love Dr Michael Plakogiannis, I will never go to another ob gyn, he is such an amazing person, compassionate and caring. I met him when I ended up in the emergency room after I passed out at work I was in severe pain for about a week but didn’t think it was anything serious until I broke out in a sweat and passed out I was rushed to Lenox hill hospital and had to have emergency surgery and he was my surgeon so when I woke up I met him finally, he followed up with me continuously over the next week which I thought was so sweet so he officially became my doctor, my mom and sister go to him as well, as far as my surgery I had an ectopic pregnancy and had to have a Fallopian tube removed my scars are minimal. Unfortunately when I went into labor he wasn’t able to deliver my daughter but I had a great doctor deliver my baby and Dr Plako was awesome afterwards I couldn’t walk at all when I was discharged so my hubby went into his office and told him how much pain I was in and he gave him a script for me and followed up with me by phone all week, he is now a family friend we all love him very much ! He doesn’t make u feel weird during exams either, he is cool and has a great sense of humor, awesome doctor and human being !
