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.

Great Dirgeon
Dr Plasilova is just great. Engaged, smart and compassionate. Excellent bed side manner and importantly, when was the last time a doctor gave you their cell number and email address should you have questions or concerns or returned your call in less than an hour after phoning? Just remarkable. She also Phoned with results AS SOON AS received. Her entire staff is so friendly and responsive. Excellent experience

Excellent surgeon
Dr Plasilova is very thorough, precautious and knowledgeable. She treated the cancer in time, in very early stage. Surgery was successful, with a minimal cosmetic changes to the appearance of the breast.

Being diagnosed with breast cancer is truly an overwhelming and mentally traumatic event in your life. From the first visit with Dr Plasilova through my continuing post op visits, she has been on top of my medical case comforting me and staying in constant contact with my entire breast cancer treatment team. Her medical knowledge and her surgical skills are 2nd to none. I would recommend her and her team to anyone seeking a breast surgeon specialist.

Unprofessional
I was referred by my gyn I came from Bklyn when I get to the office I was informed that they did not take my insurance which I was informed they did. Take my Insuarance and they asked for a credit card which I did not have. So she refused to take care of me and was very rude. I left crying.

Outstanding Doctor
I recommend Dr. Plasilova strongly. She is an sophisticated and modern breast surgeon, holding both an MD and a PhD. I came to her for advice; she addressed my concerns with respect, making thoughtful recommendations and putting me on the right path. She engenders trust.When you meet Dr. Plasilova it will be evident that she is whip-smart, knowledgeable about the latest innovations and research and has a warm personality.A huge bonus is that Dr. Plasilova has her own practice and is unencumbered by bureaucracy. Additionally, her coordinator Elena does a good job of keeping you informed.

My visit with Dr. Plasilova went better than I could ever hope. She was patient and very thorough. She took her time and explained plan of treatment and surgery. She was very comforting before surgery and in the O.R. Thank you Dr. Plasilova for your care.

I am very disappointed in Dr. Plasilova. The doctor refused to operate on me without explaining why, she spoke to me very rudely, constantly interrupted me, spent 1 minute on the visit, and simply left the room. it was terrible, I cried. This is an inhumane attitude, she must not forget that she is a doctor, and must help people, and I did not come to her home, I came for help. Don't ever go to her
