I went to Dr. Plummer to have a painful sebaceous cyst removed and every visit was informative, helpful, quick, and made me feel cared for. His staff are super friendly and helpful as well.

My operation went smoothly. On each follow-up visit I saw the doctor for 5-10 minutes, but waited 45 minutes to an hour and a half in a waiting room noisy with a TV set that couldn't be escaped and patients talking loudly on cell phones.

Dr.Plummer is one of the best doctors I have ever experienced in my 70 years of life.... his surgical skills are outstanding, If it wasn't for the three little tapes left on my abutment I would not have believed I had gone through a major double hernia operation. But it didn't stop there, my Pre and Post Op visits where very satisfying. 100% thumbs up!

Dr. Plummer is an excellent surgeon that I would recommend to my family and friends. He explains the procedure and allayed my fears regarding surgery. I am grateful that he performed laparoscopic surgery, thus reduced my recuperation time.
