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 have had procedures done in the past and recently and have found Dr. Pollack to be thorough and his staff to be professional and pleasant. I would be glad to recommend Dr. Pollack.

HORRIBLE
Took 12 days to call me regarding my lab results, concerning lab results at that. Never spoke to the actual physician. When I did get a call back the Nurse stated “Are you okay?” Sarcastically when I answered my phone, as if Me calling regarding my results was a burden.

Thank you Dr. Pollack
Dr. Pollack saw my husband on an urgent basis as we were visiting family from out of town. He came highly recommended, and I certainly know why. An excellent clinician who was thorough, compassionate, caring, and reassuring. Thank you Dr. Pollack for being there for us when we needed you!

I always have a great visit with Dr. Pollack. He makes it easy to understand what’s going going on and what needs to to be done. Everything is easily done from the medicine to booking appointments and also getting a procedure done.

Dr Pollack is very professional, but very sympathetic to your feelings. He is very calming and soothes my fears as I suffer from anxiety. He explains things in a way that doesn’t make you feel like that he is the smartest person in the room. He also has an incredible sense of humor. I would recommend him to everyone.

I was so nervous having my first colonoscopy. The entire staff staff ( Dr. Pollack, Nurse’s, Receptionist and Anesthesiologist) were so nice and professional from the time I arrived until I was discharged home. I have already recommended Dr. Pollack to my family members. I had a great experience!
