    Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.

    Patient Comments

    • January 22, 2023 Could have used more information pre op about expected pain, swelling and discomfort post op knee replacement.
    • January 21, 2023 Dr. Pollock genuinely cares for his patients & he provides excellent care!
    • January 21, 2023 I always get a kick out of Dr Pollack...He is an excellent surgeon but has a bit of theatrical streak which makes me laugh. He also has very capable staff members making sure everything is done well.
    • January 15, 2023 Dr. Pollock is the best orthopedic doctor/surgeon I have ever been to. I had seven knee surgeries by 4 different surgeons before I was blessed to meet Dr. Pollock. His knowledge and caring personality is extraordinary!
    • January 13, 2023 Absolutely professional & caring , very compassionate and down to earth..
    • January 9, 2023 Dr.Pollock is very attentive to our concerns. Not only is he a very experienced surgeon, he is also personable and he does any make you feel like just another patient.. He truly cares!

    Why No Ratings

    Currently, not all doctor ratings and comments are available. The number of rated physicians will increase over time. 
    The more ratings a provider receives, the more accurate and statistically reliable the data is. Providers with less than 30 ratings may not have patient ratings listed on their profiles.
