The Vibe: Coastal Care with Global Perspective
The atmosphere at 440 E Bay Drive is defined by cultural depth and surgical precision. Originally from Ukraine, where he practiced as a physician for years before moving to the U.S., Dr. Plotnitskiy brings a global perspective to the South Shore. His office is known for a "no-stone-unturned" diagnostic style, where he balances the urgency of acute care with the patience required for complex, long-term health journeys.
Why This Practice Is Truly Unique:

This is especially valuable for patients dealing with chronic conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or Endometriosis, where systemic wellness is key.

He ensures that complex details of labor, delivery, or surgical recovery are communicated with absolute clarity, removing the stress of a language barrier during critical health moments.

Surgical Mastery: Dr. Plotnitskiy is a regional expert in Minimally Invasive Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy. He specializes in "organ-sparing" techniques for fibroid removal and abnormal bleeding, prioritizing faster recovery times and less post-operative discomfort.
High-Risk Obstetric Support: From managing Gestational Diabetes to preeclampsia, the practice is optimized for pregnancies that require a higher level of vigilance. His affiliation with Mount Sinai South Nassau provides a direct pipeline to world-class neonatal resources if needed.
Modern Diagnostic Suite: The office features on-site Hysterosalpingography (HSG) and high-definition ultrasound, allowing for rapid fertility evaluations and diagnostic clarity without requiring multiple trips to imaging centers.

The most interesting reviews
- Greatest doctor I’ve ever had! He delivered my daughter 5 months ago via c section. He’s caring, trustworthy, educated, reliable and the list goes on. He eased my mind throughout my pregnancy when I struggled with pregnancy anxiety and always was reassuring and never judgmental. The delivery went amazing it was one of the most positive experiences I’ve ever had. My scar is already so minimal and the incision healed tremendously already! He seriously is an amazing doctor and person.
- I cannot say enough great things about this doc! He delivered my daughter last year vaginally and I had no complications at all. He was extremely empathetic and attentive he even stood late into his shift to support both me and my husband. This year, he performed my preemie son via C section. My son was perfect and safe and my C section incision is tight and exact with very little pain. He will be my OBGYN until he retires. He’s the best!!!
