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.

Second opinion
On January 14, 2025, I had a second opinion appointment with Dr. Robert Plummer, Surgeon, at the Montefiore Department of Surgery, at 600 East 233rd Street in the Bronx.Dr. Plummer performed a detailed examination of the 2 hernias that were proposed for surgery.He was personable, asked me questions about my symptoms and provided me with more information than I had previously received. I felt at ease with receiving more information to make a better informed decision about how to proceed. I am grateful for his approach. His staff was exemplary and made me feel very comfortable.

Dr. Plumber literally saved my mother's life. Another doctor botched a routine biopsy and punctured her intestine in multiple places. Hospital wasn't giving us any information ?? and my mom was practically left to die. Someone recommended Dr.Plumber. he came in transfered my mom to his hospital and the rest is history.

Dr. Plummer is just amazing. He is the best surgeon I've ever met. He's the kind of doctor that you feel safe with and well taken care of. His passion is definitely to safe lives and see his patients get well. He and his staff are very professional and caring. He takes the time he need to make sure you're okay. He's a great role model to all the younger generation of doctors. I can't thank him enough for saving my life.

I've had two surgeries done by Dr. Plummer and he has done a great job. Very professional and knowledgeable. I was very scared when I found out I needed two surgeries, but he put my concerns to rest and made it so easy for me to get through both sucessfully. He has drastically improved my life. His staff is great, they respond quickly to messages and they made sure all my paperwork was done on time and accurately. Top notch surgeon, that I would recommend to anyone without hesitation.

Nothing but good things to say about Dr. Plummer. A highly accomplished surgeon who genuinely cares about his patients. Had a double inguinal hernia surgery with him at the Montefiore Waters place. Gorgeous facility, seamless process. Dr. Plummer alleviated any concerns I had and made the process simple. Feeling much better after the surgery, no more hernia.

I was Dr. Plummer's patient in Montefiore (Moses) from November 10th to November 25th. For every day I was on admission, Dr. Plummer came to check on me except for Thanksgiving day. Even so, He arranged for me to be seen by another Dr. He's Caring, knowledgeable and down to earth.
