Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

A professional
Dr. Pollack recently did a surgery for me. A professional and was clear with what he was doing and why. I didn't even need to worry about making my follow up appointment as it was done for me. If i ever need surgery again I would definitely see if he could do it for me.

He saw me in the hospital and he was rude arrogant and acted like I didn’t know what I was talking about I ended up changing my insurance to a PPO so I could go see my surgeon at Scripps that had done surgery on me before Again that specialist was able to find my intestinal problem and did surgery and I feel so much better He had to remove a section in the small intestine that was dilated and causing my pain Dr Pollack told me that they found no problem Yeah right..he should have had to live with this pain for awhile and see what it was like Very rude bedside manners and I would never go to him for anything He should not even be given one star J Fredrick
