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.

He had a preformed opinion. Started at the computer screen and avoided detailed discussions.

Cold, dismissive, inflexible. Disappointing. – Mar 03, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Plofsky?
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.

Abrupt and dismissive. Every visit with him ends in new drugs being prescribed for conditions which can be corrected through exercise and diet. Can't recommend. Had to quit seeing him. I'm not unreasonable and don't want to die tomorrow, but piling on medications isn't always the best solution to cure or correct health problems.

Spent little time, did not make eye contact. Did not feel like he listened.
