Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best doctor ever. I love him so much. He is so through and takes his time with you. He makes sure that he answers all your questions. He is caring and compassionate. He us the only doctor I trust for my sons care.

My son was a patient of this doctor for over 10 years. My son is on the son the spectrum and has ADHD. My son has not been seen in the Neurobehavioral side of Union Ave for 3.5 years as he stopped his medicine and we were told he no longer had to be seen unless he had issues arise. Recently we had an issue arise that we need help. A letter to explain my sons health concerns , those which Dr. Plonsky treated for 10 plus years. We were rudely informed that Dr. Plonsky said he would not help us. Would not see my son and had not recommendations of where to go. We trusted Doctor Plonsky with our son and felt he was a big part of our lives and our son’s success . I am deeply saddened to find out his patients do not matter once they grow up. I would not recommend his office anymore especially as the front desk person is extremely unhelpful and rude. I was in tears after my call as I just could not believe someone I had trusted and praised for so many years could just turn his back .
