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.

- October 5, 2022 He needs to be more appreciative of patients time as he expects for himself and the office staff. It was an hour past my appointment time before I was seen. I was placed in the exam room and was left no one came to inform me of the delay make sure I was not in need of anything. I had another appointment after his and I had to reschedule because he was behind on his schedule. Patients are told if they are 15mins late they would have to reschedule the appointment to keep the Dr's on schedule. What is the difference with the patients time and schedule??????? I was very displeased with this visit. Dr. Pollock was in the room with me for approx 10 mins... Unacceptable .....

- September 15, 2022 Dr. Pollock listened to the problems I was having with my knee. He didn't make me feel like he was in a hurry to get me in and out. While I was there I brought up a concern I was having with my ankle and foot from a previous surgery done by another Dr. He checked it out and ordered X-rays on it to make sure that the hardware placed in it was intact and everything looked fine. He didn't have to do any of that but he was concerned about it. He didn't jump to surgery first thing to fix my knee issues he wanted a MRI done so he could get a better look at the damage that my knee had and go from there.

- August 19, 2022 Comes highly recommended by several of my close friends and was very courteous and did not treat me as if I was totally ignorant about treatment and procedure.
- August 17, 2022 Before visiting Dr. Pollock, I had already seen two other doctors. Dr. Pollock made things much clearer to me and seemed to care much more about my problem than the other doctors.
- August 12, 2022 I was really scared before my hip replacement surgery! Dr. Pollock came in and talked to me and I immediately felt much better. He told me he had already said a prayer and that's when I knew I was in very good hands. He did an excellent job! I'm really enjoying walking around without all the pain. Thank you Dr. Pollock and God bless.
