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.

Condescending and Hurtful
I had a consult with Dr Polcino and he started out friendly but then became increasingly rude and condescending. I’ve never been treated like that by a doctor and left the office in tears.

I was going to see Dr. Polcino for years. at first it was great. there was never a wait and they would just take you as you came. then there started to be a 30 min wait. np! last, and final straw, was my most recent visit where after arriving 20 mins early I waited over 2 hours and was told it would still be another 30 mins. I was also told that next time I should just take a vacation day, so I didn’t have to worry about getting back to work....

SEEN THIS MAN FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS EVERY THING WAS OKAY UNTIL I WAS TOLD I NEEDED FURTHER EVALUATION ON A BREAST EXAM. THIS MAN WAS RUDE, SHOWED NO COMPASSION, AND EVEN TOLD ME WHEN I ASKED FOR CLARIFICATION THAT I CAN GO SEE ANOTHER PROVIDER. I WAS SO UPSET. I NEVER WILL SEE HIM AGAIN.
