  • When I spoke with Dr. Plutzky, he was great. He went over all the information. He answered, I had quite a few questions and he answered them all well. He explained to my satisfaction why it took a little while to get an appointment, I mean to get attention, to review the results and he was just great all around. Helpful as far as working with my insurance company because the medication he suggested was fairly expensive. I would just say it was a very positive experience working with this doctor and I'm satisfied. [redacted]
