      Dr. Ploss was great. He listened and went through my tests. Not sure he thought I needed all the tests, but that's past history now. Better to know...:):). I have been seeing cardiologists for over 8 years because of family history and breathing issues. He released me unless I started having issues again. Does not even need an annual exam. Shocked me, but in a good way.

      Dr Ploss is good at giving simplified explanations of medical issues, When I have studied up and ask for a more technical explanation- he will shift gears and does a good job addressing the issue at the level I am looking fort.

      Dr.Ploss is amazing. This time he seemed extremely exhausted and over worked. I had more questions but didn't ask him because I felt I would push him over the edge. I felt bad for being there.
