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.

Had my first appointment this week with Dr. Polek. He showed complete interest in me, my current medication and offed help right away! Looking forward to our next appointment and finally getting help from someone who seems to understand my condition, and wants to actually help for a change!

THE single most competent, accepting, unconditionally listening and caring doctor I had. I’m crying that he went to Maine. He left in place a good method for his patients to see his former classmate as a new provider. They’ve been easy to work with, but I still miss Dr Polek! He’s worth a million!!!

Left all his patients without notice and moved to Maine. Then he said he would do teledoc meetings, but canceled without notice. Now I'm without my medication and no doctor. Don't ever trust this guy, find someone else to help you.

Dr. Polek is a great doctor and his staff is always very friendly. Every time I have had to leave a message for the doctor I get a call back the same day or the next morning with an answer! Thank you Psychiatry 280 for doing it right! That's how all offices should run!

I find Dr. Polek to be an excellent physician. I am very experience in seeking medical help and I have visited many doctors for my nervous system. He is the first that actually took time and listened to my clinical symptoms. We both came up with a plan for my treatment and so far it has helped. I'm not saying I'm totally their yet but now I have hope that someone is finally understanding my issues. I highly recommend Dr. Polek. I wish I would have meet him sooner. Thank You Dr. Polek.
