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.

    May 25, 2024
    I think Dr. Pleman is already too busy, so I probably wouldn't recommend him for that reason ALONE. He seems to be a really good and conscientious doctor. The repeat confirmation of all of my medications is a little annoying.

    Dr. Pleman is very thorough and listens on my concerns knowing I had a friday late afternoon video visit appt he made sure I get my labs done and also made sure if I wasnt able to have it done, to have someone from his clinic to contact me to have it done there. He Made sure to cover all basis and not take It for granted. Reassured me that follow up visit will be scheduled and right after the phone call his team called me to set an appt for it.
