Apr 12, 2021
Dr. David R. Plotner is a cut above the rest, in all aspects of "rating" him, he'd be a TEN, not just a 5-star. on a Friday, at 11 a.m., i drove 16 miles, and, without an appointment, asked to see dr. plotner (after i'd researched various ophthalmologists - academically, length of service, etc -) and his staff worked me in, seamlessly, for a 4:30 appointment. the pain & discomfort which had suddenly invaded my right eye has been attended to relentlessly by the good doctor in a way beyond words and beyond my expectations. happily, my dimming perception of medical practitioners who no longer adhere to the Hippocratic Oath is being restored by Dr. Plotner!
