A very fine doctor. Thorough, knowledgeable, clear, warm, patient, kind. She performed a dificult needle biopsy for me that yielded tissue that tested positive for early breast cancer. She could not have been more on top of my needs. Tremendous. Go to her.

I never knew a radiologist with a personality before! The office is beautiful, quiet and calm exactly what is needed for anything even remotely related to the possibility of breast cancer. Then Dr Plesser sits down and explains all of the tests that you just took. Exceptionally compassionate, and caring! She is the best!

Dr. Kathy Plesser is a 'treasure'. From the moment she comes into the waiting room to introduce herself through the total experience, she is the most caring, kind and dedicated doctor. Her staff mirrors her. I consider myself to be so fortunate to have her as my doctor. She treated me as if I were he Queen of England and that I was her only patient.
