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.

Caring & competent
Dr Plotke is a wonderful doctor who really cares about his patients.

Would not recommend
He nor his office staff return phone calls. Once tried reaching him and he called back a MONTH later, not even addressing the complaint I called him about. He agrees to appointment dates and then does not schedule them, leaving you without an appointment. He does not respond to refill requests on time. Overall, I cannot help but feel like he has given up on his profession and goal of helping others. He does not seem to put in any effort.

At least he doesn’t have to go far to see a shrink
Avoid at all costs.

I would leave zero stars if I could. This doctor will make you jump through hoops. Go to meetings, have multiple visits and in the end after five trips will refer you to someone who "...can evaluate you." A medication that had been prescribed since adolescents and he refuses to help. It's dangerous to play with people in his profession and he should know that.
