I was in Dr. Plancich's office for a routine cleaning and xrays. The dental hygienist noticed a small lesion on the back of my throat. She had Dr. Plancich look at it and they both said it should be checked further by a throat surgeon. Long story short~ I did this and the lesion turned out to be a form of pre-malignant cancer. If it wasn't for Doctor Plancich and his hygienist' keen eye(s), the outcome could have been disasterous.
