Patient Comments
- January 17, 2019*Dr. Pollock is an excellent, caring doctor. He explained things so I understood clearly and took time with explanations and listened to concerns. These high ratings are not completed lightly; as I have seen 3 other specialists for the same problems before seeing him. My issues have been resolved under his care - Wish I had seen him years ago!
- November 14, 2018I would highly recommend Dr Pollock to any friends or family. Very impressed!
- October 11, 2018Dr Pollock was very polite and courteous. He was patient. He explained things in a way I could understand. He answered all my question and concerns. I felt very comfortable with him.
- October 10, 2018He seemed to be in a hurry due to being behind. But he has done a good job before when I had surgery.
