    Dr Plotkin is fantastic! He addressed all of my questions in detail until I was sure I understood the answers, and left me feeling confident in our plan. After our appointment, I felt I had a thorough understanding of not just what we were going to do but also why, and also why we weren't taking a more aggressive approach to scans in particular. Dr Plotkin was happy to give me the explanations I needed and did so very clearly and comprehensively.
