About Me

I am excited to be back in my hometown practicing medicine and caring for my community.  I grew up on the outskirts of Jim Thorpe, PA where my parents still reside and attended the Jim Thorpe Area School district. While in high school I was very active with the local fire/EMS community which is where I developed my love of medicine and community service.

I attended Binghamton University where I attained my BS in chemistry, followed by American University of The Caribbean where I earned my MD.  I completed my specialty training in rural family medicine here at St. Luke’s University Health Network where I also served as Chief Resident. I was also fortunate enough to earn a fellowship designation in the field of Wilderness medicine.  

I am particularly proud to be able to provide full spectrum and procedural care to this area. Given my training in rural medicine, I am comfortable providing care to all ages including newborns and am trained in a vast array of procedures.  

In my spare time, I continue to volunteer with local fire/EMS/SAR teams where I hold a pre-hospital EMS physician certification and am an avid fisherman and outdoorsman.

Dr. Plavin is great with children and made my daughter feel very comfortable. He took his time hearing my concerns and assessing his patient. We were able to get a sick appointment right away which was a huge relief. I strongly recommend Dr. Plavin.

This was a new patient visit with Dr. Plavin and also a Medicare Wellness visit. He is extremely thorough and caring. He explained all of my blood test results and what his expectations would be concerning my health. . I felt very much at ease with him as a first time visit. I am glad I chose him to be my primary care physician.

I had a test in Sept of 2023 that showed I had Congestive Heart Failure. I was not getting the results of my test even when being seen in my previous St. Lukes Lansford providers office. I finally gave up and switched to Dr. Plaving. Thank God I did. He most likely saved my life. Dr. Plavin is an extremely knowledgable care provider, he listens intently to my concerns he answers all my questions and even gives me more information that I do not realize to ask about. He does all that with a caring, empathic and kind manner. I have never had such a doctor of this level of service excellence. He is the epitome of excellence and has set the bar extremely high for all other health care providers I see. He should be training them!!! Thank you Dr. Plavin. I am alive and doing extremely well under your care. Your staff is just as amazing. It feels good after all these years to be in the hands of someone so capable.
