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.

Exceptionally knowledgeable, very helpful.

Words are not enough for Dr. Pollak; he is truly a caring, and knowledgeable doctor & person. Unlike most Drs. today who only treat the 'test results and medical records/guidelines', Dr. Pollak not only looks at reports/test results BUT LISTENS TO WHAT the patient has to say! He treats the whole person, not just the symptom and spends as much time as is needed. Every patient is equally important to him and he genuinely cares. His knowledge & talent in treating pain/injuries is exceptional.

This is the first doctor I've had like him. The other places I've been only wanted to write prescriptions and suggest surgery or worse yet, Psychiatry. Now after several Prolotherapy, trigger point injections and spinal adjustments, I'm once again functional and started back to work 7 months ago. I only go every 3 months now for maintenance. I wish I could tell everyone about him that are stuck in dead-end, money grubbing therapy centers.
