Dr. Michael Polo, MD

I've been a patient of Dr. Polo's since 2009 and he literally saved my life and I am here today because of him. He cares so much and listens to everything and is a great ally and his staff are great. He communicates so well through the portal and really lets patients aid in their treatment. He's the best psychiatrist I've ever had, and I'm almost 50 and have had had quite a few over the decades.

Put me meds and didn't check my blood pressure along the way and kept upping it!! 4th time he did, it was 178 over 120. Never went back!!

If you prefer to throw your psyche, your soul,and your power away to a bogus Book of Woe (Greenberg) professional who profits handsomely from playing God, to Big Pharma, and to monstrous medicalization, Dr Polo is your man. He will pretend to be frank, open-minded, friendly, and cooperative to your face only to blackjack and gaslight you covertly behind your back on your medical records if you call him out (gently) on the intellectually bankrupt/corrupt nature of his whole profession and if you insist on protection from his dangerous DSM 'diagnoses' or 'dope'. Don't risk going to him unless you are a person who is looking for quick surface fixes/instant comfort at great long-term psychic cost. Be sure not to trust his pleasant 'bedside' manner because what you see is NOT what you get from him.

In my 46 years of dealing with bipolar disorder, Dr Polo has proved to be the best of the many psychiatrists I have seen. His ability to prescribe the necessary medications and encyclopedic knowledge of various diseases is unsurpassed. I see Dr Polo as a friend, a consummate professional Who truly cares about my mental well-being.

Dr. Polo always comes out of his office to greet me & thank me for coming in today. He remembers issues from my previous visit & begins each session following up. When I'm in crisis, he allots more time for my vis its until he's sure i'm ok. He's very knowledgeable & is always up to date on current treatments & meds for various mental diseases. I would recommend him to any of my friends.

He always listened to me and never made me feel judged. He approached my situation with the seriousness I would expect, but also with a touch of humor. He approached me and my life as a whole and took my health into account when suggesting medication (avoiding unwanted side effects like weight gain). I had absolute faith in his guidance.

Love love love Dr. Polo. The best anywhere!. He cares, takes time to listen, attentive, knowledgeable and always ready to provide extra resources such has books, or health care professionals. Always leave his office feeling that I have been affirmed and helped.
