    Dr. Plotzker is the best medical professional I have encountered. She has excellent bedside manners and she is an skilled medical doctor. All procedure was flawless and I felt great during the procedure and afterwards too. Past doctor's I have had were not as skilful as her. I'm delighted and lucky of having her as my Doctor.

    My 1st visit with Dr. Plotzker was great. Her sense of humor put me at ease right away. She also explained what was on the screen as she went through my procedure. I found that to be very helpful. Superb care.

    If I could give Dr. Plotzker a "10" I would. Her and my care team at UCSF have always given me the best service care and concern.

    Dr. Plotzker does a fantastic job of destigmatizing anal treatment by discussing it in practical terms. It's basic biology and she makes the treatment an informative and process oriented experience. No reason for shame just care.

    Fantastic doctor. Empathetic good sense of humor clear instructions.
    Aug 20, 2022
    Dr. Plotzker was fantastic. I had communicated about my high anxiety at the start of the appointment and she immediately asked if I wanted to do any grounding exercises. She also spent a fair amount of time drawing out/detailing LSIL and HSIL pathways and the differences between AIN 1 and AIN 2/3. I had a lot of questions and she patiently answered all of them. I honestly felt bad because as a healthcare professional myself I know being in clinic is busy and time-demanding but she was just so fully present and I really appreciated that.

    This is all redundant.

    This physician is hands down the most personable friendly and informative Doctor I have ever engaged with. She was so kind and patient to explain everything and put me at ease. It's a rarity to feel confident in allowing yourself to fully trust a physician to treat you like a family member not a number.Thank you!

    The providers are amazing the providers are not the problem at all. The biggest issue at this clinic is the availability of appointments and how the lack of availability impacts patient care health outcomes prognostic factors and the inevitable loss to follow up the clinic will experience due to patient fatigue with not being able to get prompt and adequate care.
    Feb 20, 2022
    The best thing is the doctor is super patient to listen and answer my questions

    Anal Dysplasia is a sensitive practice area to manage. The diseases and treatments can be disconcerting for patients as they were initially for me. Dr. Plotzker excels in diagnoses and treatment which made me confident in the process. Her empathetic and educational approach helped assuage the anxiousness that comes with discussions around anal/rectal concerns. Dr. Plotzker's ability to balance the clinical with the personal is beyond exemplary.

    Dr. Plotzker is amazing! I arrived at my appointment feeling uncomfortable and a little embarrassed about the exam/exam process. She listened to my concerns educated me about the exam process and did so in a respectful and friendly manner. I left feeling confident that I'm in good hands and I'm comfortable with next steps.

    Dr. PLOTZKER is awesome! I enjoyed the conversation care insight knowledge and her great attitude. I was not having a great day due to unfortunate news that came in waves that week; however Dr. PLOTZKER made me feel better at the end of week. I enjoyed her company and care. I would definitely recommend Dr. PLOTZKER to someone who needs a high resolution anoscopy and/or biopsies performed on their anus (snip snip).

    The Dr. Was very knowledgeable and addressed my concerns in an compassionate caring manner.

    My experience yesterday with Dr. Plotzker Was one of the better interactions I have had with a doctor in my lifetime. She demonstrated extraordinary skill both with her explanation of HPV in the course of diagnostic treatment she would pursue As well as in her capacity to distill complicated medical information into and easy to understand explanation.One aspect of my appointments that resonated with me was perfect side manner and demeanor. She sat next to me while explaining the medical condition not across from me. She was relaxed and engaging in a way that provided a much higher degree of comfort during my appointment.Her demeanor and capacity treats in as a human rather than as a medical charts work condition in laudatory and I am exceedingly grateful for the time I spent with her yesterday.
