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.

kind and considerate
he was very knowledgeable while communicating it effectively. he listened to my concerns and needs even though he recommended another treatment. with absolutely no pressure from me, just my personal experience, he gave me the exact thing i described needing without having to advocate for myself. i understand why some vagina havers might feel more comfortable with a femme presenting doctor. however, i appreciate the kindness and consideration Dr. Polo provided me.

I have been a patient of Dr Polo's for years, and have recently completed breast cancer treatment. So thankful for his post cancer care, as well as the team approach with Jen. I feel very fortunate to have Dr Polo & Jen on my health care team. Dr Polo is kind, patient, thorough and thoughtful. Jen is on top of all details and takes care of whatever prep & follow up is needed. I trust them both completely! Grateful for them!

This was my first visit with Dr. Polo. I loved my previous gynecologist (who recently retired) so I was doubtful I'd find another I liked as much but I did! Dr. Polo was very personable, asked all the right questions, provided the information I needed, and verified the information from other providers. I couldn't have found a better doctor.

Dr. Polo delivered my first child as an emergency c-section after trying forceps etc, and was wonderful. I chose to schedule a c-section the second time around, and he was my first choice. He was supportive of me as an older mom, and as challenges arose he was diligent in helping sort through treatment, timing, and decision-making. Very soft-spoken and kind, just who I needed.

Dr. Polo has been my obgyn for 10 years. When I became pregnant at 40, the tech who drew my blood sample exclaimed how fortunate I was to have Oscar Polo as my doctor, that he had delivered 5 of her children. In the wks that followed, I learned how he earned such regard. I had a high risk pregnancy, he gave excellent advice for managing it and closely monitored our child’s developmt. Mama and child healthy birth. He approached every potential problem with gentle sensitivity and made time for ?s

I was fortunate enough to become a patient with Dr. Polo over 3 years ago when my currentOB/was not inline with my birthing method choice. He is exceptionally knowledgable, kind, considerate, respectful, really listens to my concerns and is an excellent surgeon. He delivered my son and we had a very healthy recovery. Dr. Polo is scheduled to deliver our second child and I couldn't be happier. I am so very, very thankful that I was able to become his patient and look forward to our new baby soon

Dr Polo is my hero. I had a total vaginal hysterectomy with laparoscopic assist,due to a remarkably large uterus full of fibroids. My surgery and recovery went beautifully. Zero complications. I was so scared for a long time to have the procedure but now I just wish I had done it sooner. Never waited very long in waiting room, never had any trouble scheduling my appointments. Staff was always polite and respectful.

Dr. Polo listened to my medical concerns and explained the procedures thoroughly. He took the time to explore different options available and consequences. We came to an agreement as to the best way to handle my particular medical issue. A friend in the medical field told me that Dr. Polo is a very good surgeon and I would agree.
