Dr. Plunkett is the most professional, caring, informed physician I’ve ever dealt with. She actually cares about her patients, and treats them in individuals. I value her greatly as my primary care physician, and am very fortunate to have her as my doctor.

Dr Plunkett is an excellent dr. Very knowledgeable and she listens to you. She spends as much time as needed and never makes you feel rushed. Always willing to send you to specialists if she cannot help. I highly recommend her.
