Patient Reviews
Jul 07, 2020
As a healthcare provider and patient I found Dr. Plofsky to be thorough and accurate in his assessment, which primarily is what I would be looking for in a physician. My wife is also a patient and, as a nurse, has a sharp eye for incompetence or providers who make her uncomfortable...neither of which is the case.
