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.

Dr. Plesser is among the best!
Every visit I've had with Dr. Plesser has left me with a sense of gratitude about her as a physician in these times when medicine has become more than a bit impersonal. Doctors like her are few and far between. She's very open and informative and I never leave her office feeling confused or uninformed or with no options in my particular situation. I do overthink issues, and I tend to be self-pitying as if flat-chested women should be immune to breast issues, especially when my situation isn't really so problematic or unique. In short, I am not the easiest patient because I've been spoiled by growing up among physicians, but I don't feel that Dr.Plesser's concern for me is impersonal, uncaring, or impatient. She's friendly, doesn't rush the visit, and I leave the office so much more upbeat than when I arrived. I would certainly recommend Dr. Plesser to anyone who needs an excellent breast radiologist. In fact, she was recommended to me by an excellent radiologist.

Excellent, knowledgeable, caring physician
I have been a patient of Dr. Plesser's for over 10 years. She is consistently caring, accurate, and careful in her reading of all types of scanning modalities. Even better, she provides her patients with an answer on the day of their visit! For anyone with "difficult" breasts, it is an incredible relief to know immediately the results of a scan. It would be very difficult to find another Breast Imaging Radiologist with the combination of expertise and compassion displayed by Dr. Plesser!
