Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences.

- 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 .....
