Patient Comments
- June 19, 2019They were very good.
- June 14, 2019Always a good experience.
- June 13, 2019Dr. Pollock is very professional and a great dr. Have seen him for several years - at Wake Forest after Wake Forest and now again at Wake Forest. We have followed him to North Wilkesboro, where I had never been before. He's worth it.
- May 26, 2019good
- May 14, 2019I drive from Winston Salem to North Wilkesboro to see this provider because I know he is worth the drive.
- 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!
