Both doctors were excellent. The senior physician did a great job talking to me about questions I had. He was also very clear about next steps and explained carefully why he was recommending certain tests. It was a great interaction. I got a blood test right afterwards and it was quick and easy. I also scheuled a scan and was able to get it within a month. Overall a very good medical experience.

The doctor showed great concern for my health situation and he gave excellent advice. He suggested a CT Scan to see if I have blockage in my heart, If so, I'll definitely need to take a statin. This is an excellent idea because I tried 4 different kinds of statins, and none agreed with me. Why take medications I may not need, but the CT Scan will give me the answer.

Dr. Plutzky was so thorough in his explanation backed by sitting specific research results and with a bi directional dialogue regarding possible actions, resulted in a complete shift in my mind set. Historically I have had a bias that leaned against taking medications but I am now confident that with my family history, high LDL and extremely high LP(a), that starting a 5mg statin protocol is an extremely wise decision. Dr Plutzky made me feel informed and empowered.
