Brilliant and personable Neurologist. Worth the wait for an appointment. I've seen Dr. Plotkin two times for my issue. He listens well and answers any questions plus provides honest and reassuring guidance and answers. I come away feeling so much better for having him as my specialist!

Dr. Plotkin is a remarkable doctor and even more remarkable person. His knowledge in almost every topic is amazing. He has been treating me now for several years and his patience in ensuring I understand my problem has made a huge difference to my wife and myself in dealing with it. We would both recommend him highly.
