Our Story
Plasencia Family Medicine was built on a simple belief: that every patient deserves a doctor who truly knows them. For decades, Dr. Jorge M. Plasencia, MD FAAFP, has been that doctor for thousands of Mid-Michigan families — listening carefully, treating the whole person, and showing up with the kind of warmth you don't often find in a medical office.
That legacy is deeply personal to us. Because Dr. Plasencia isn't just our founder — he's family.
Our patients are at the center of everything we do. We take the time to listen to our patients’ concerns and work collaboratively to develop a personalized treatment plan that fits their unique needs. Our goal is to build lasting relationships with our patients and their families, and help them live healthy lives.
Passing the torch — and keeping the promise.
Dr. Ileana M. Daly, MD, is Dr. Plasencia's daughter. She grew up in Saginaw watching her father practice medicine the way it was always meant to be practiced — with patience, with compassion, and with deep roots in the community he served. Those years shaped the kind of physician she became.
Now, Dr. Daly is honored to carry her father's practice into its next chapter. She brings with her the same board-certified expertise, the same commitment to personalized care, and the same belief that a great family doctor changes lives — one patient at a time.
