Dr. Olga Plotkina, an otolaryngologist, has extensive experience and a medical worldview that sees the person behind the disease. She will provide services at general clinics in Yokneam Emek Hashalom, Kiryat Yam Rasko and Rechsim Ashked.
Dr. Plotkina, a mother of three and a resident of Yokneam, brings with her to the clinic a wealth of professional experience from the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, where she gained diverse and in-depth experience in the field of ear, nose, and throat diseases, in addition to experience and work in St. Petersburg, where she worked for many years as an ENT physician and surgeon.
Throughout her years of work, Dr. Plotkina has specialized in diagnosing and treating a wide variety of medical conditions in the field of ear, nose, and throat – from acute conditions in the emergency department to chronic cases in outpatient clinics. Her extensive surgical experience includes a wide range of interventions: tonsillectomy, various nose and sinus surgeries, ear button placement to treat recurrent infections, and other surgical interventions.
"Each patient brings with them a whole, unique world, and therefore each requires a personalized approach and treatment," explains Dr. Plotkina. "This is one of the reasons medicine continues to fascinate me every day. The curiosity and constant challenge of helping each person in the exact way that is right for them."
When Dr. Plotkina is asked why she chose the medical profession, she shares: "I chose to practice medicine because I love helping people and I think it is a wonderful way to help and alleviate the suffering of patients."
She adds, "I believe that beyond medical treatment, it is also important to give patients tools to deal with their condition and a positive perspective. My medical tip for my patients and everyone in general: Enjoy life and don't waste precious time on trivial things," she emphasizes, with an approach that combines medical professionalism with life wisdom.
She can be found at Clalit clinics in Yokneam, Emek Hashalom, Kiryat Yam Rasco and Rechsim Hasked, where she provides a comprehensive response to a variety of ear, nose and throat problems. "I believe in the availability and accessibility of quality medicine," emphasizes Dr. Plotkina.
