Dr. Samantha Mara Plasner, DO

Hi mom

"I don’t recommend Dr. Samantha Plasner. My recent experience was for a yearly physical. I brought in my own blood pressure monitor to check against hers in the office for accuracy. She had a medical student who interviewed me before she came into the room. He forgot to take my blood pressure and I asked him about it. He said “Thank you for reminding me, because Dr. Plasner will ask for that information.” He proceeded to try and take my blood pressure. He fumbled a lot and after the first try said that he didn’t do it right and needed to try again. He took it a second time. We compared it to mine and there was a 10 point difference. He said Dr. Plasner could try when she came in to make sure it was correct. When Dr. Plasner came in, she said I’m not going to ask you the usual questions since my intern already did. She proceeded to start with other questions. I asked her about the blood pressure. She was condescending with me and told me that the 10 point difference was normal between… office and home. She didn’t seem interested in checking my blood pressure herself or helping me. She told me I could try taking 3 readings on my personal machine while she was going over other information with me. She was clearly in a hurry and not focused on my concerns. "

My family and a couple of friends see Dr. Plasner. She is an excellent physician, we are all pleased with her practice.
