About me

Dr. Brandon Pleman is a family doctor who cares for patients of all ages. He believes that effective care requires treating patients as individuals while recognizing the influences of family and community, and that physical health depends on biological, psychological, social and spiritual wellness. He also believes that teamwork among medical providers is essential to providing the best possible care.

Pleman earned his medical degree at Tufts University School of Medicine, where he also completed a residency in family medicine.

Outside of work, Pleman enjoys spending time with his family. A fan of the Zwift training app, he appreciates the blue skies and open air of the roads and trails of California after seven cold years in Boston.

      Dr. Pleman does a very good job of including me in the decision-making. He seems to think that I know myself pretty well, that I understand my ongoing physical problems, and that I'm working hard to solve them or deal with them. I appreciate his realistic encouragement. I think this particular visit was outstanding in feeling supportive and thorough.

      Dr Pleman started the visit by asking me if I had any concerns. He focused on my list of questions & addressed them in the visit. He listens & makes the patient feel important. His discharge instructions are always clear & he aways has the AVS ready for me when I leave. He is an excellent PCP.
