Dr. Plokamakis is my father and he is not only an excellent physician but an excellent father as well. I've worked in his office for several years handling front-desk and administrative duties and I have seen how his practice operates and the way in which he treats his patients and it amazes me that he shows the same level of care and dedication to his patients as he shows to me. Not only have I seen the way his office operates from an employee perspective, I have been and currently am one of his patients. I can't begin to tell you how satisfied I am with the physicals, blood tests and general checkups that he performs. I can personally attest to the fact that he works extremely long hours and works seven days a week in order to juggle a very busy practice, "home visits" and "patient visits" at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Queens and other hospitals he is affiliated with. He always puts his patients needs before his own and he often skips meals (he lives on coffee) in order to see as many patients as possible in order to satisfy everyone and address their needs. I see that there are some negative reviews below and thats ok everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I am sure that if the criticisms and concerns that were listed below were addressed to the Doctor and his staff they would be appropriately addressed in a manner that is beneficial to the patient. I truly believe that if you are looking for a highly competent, highly experienced family physician / internist who truly cares about his patients then Dr. Plokamakis is the way to go! I highly recommend him for all of your medical needs and I hope you will stop by and visit his office. He is always welcoming new patients! read more
