Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I would recommend Dr. Poole
I have been seeing Dr. Poole since 2021. He is a very knowledgeable cancer doctor and was easy for me to talk to. He listened to me and gave me solid recommendations. He was prompt on our scheduled appointments.

Dr. Poole is outstanding
Dr. Poole is pretty fantastic guy and a fantastic physician. He translates complex medical information into concise, accurate, and terms understandable to the layman. He listens and hears the message behind the words. His sense of humor (wicked dry) is so needed and appreciated. Although I was diagnosed at stage 4, I am responding well to chemo and am very grateful to Dr. Poole and the staff of RMCC and I am cautiously optimistic for the future. Kerry (NP) (PA?) is fantastic too. What a great team to shepherd me through the next months and perhaps years. A huge thanks

PET Scan Results
I was told that I have Lynch Syndrome. I was aware of that, but didn't know that hereditary cancer had a name. However Dr Poole neglected to tell me the results of the PET Scan, i.e. do I have cancer now.

Thank you.
When I saw Dr. Poole on October 1, he told me this would be my last scheduled visit with him—unless the cancer returns. He reviewed my bone density status, my mastectomy history and wished me well. He was always pleasant, caring and professional as he performed his examinations. He will certainly get my recommendation to anyone who has the need for an oncologist.
