Dr. Plunkett has been my family's primary care doctor for many years. He is a brilliant diagnostician who has saved us when specialists have missed the mark. If I could give him 10 stars, I would.

When he's in the room, he's present. He isn't looking at the door, or his watch. He checks in to see if you've followed his advice, if you feel better. He isn't a specialist, and was unfamiliar with one of my conditions. But, by my next visit he seemed much more knowledgeable. That means he actually looked into my symptoms between visits, even though it isn't his job to treat them. Doctors never sit still. You're with them for a few minuets and then you might not see them again for a year. In that respect, Dr. Plunkett is like all the rest. But he does his best to maximize the time you have.

Because I have diabetes, I always feel that I'm not doing enough to control it having to get blood tests every 3 months. It's a struggle, but when I go to Dr. Plunkett, I never feel judged or that I've failed. He always has an encouraging word. He now has an online presence in which I can send him questions about my health or set up an appointment. I love it.

My mother had pneumonia and was in the hospital for several weeks. We found Dr. Plunkett to be caring, willing to take time to answer our questions and determined to help our mother get better. We would highly recommend him as a professional who cares.
