Dr. Plaehn is a fabulous doctor who has been doing my colonoscopies every three years for many YEARS!! He is personable, highly intelligent, and very funny! If you really want to impress him, be sure to wear U of M clothing, U of M mask, and say “GO BLUE!”. I even had a U of M tattoo put on my lower, lower, lower back just for a surprise for him six years ago. He was impressed!
