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.

Worst doctor
I reached out to my husbands PCP seeking help for my him after major surgery. After a number of communications to the doctor we finally got an appointment. The doctor walked into the exam room with his computer never looked my husband in the eye or even asked how his recovery was going made snide comments and at the last moment before we left placed a stethoscope on his chest. I thought doctors were supposed to be concerned for their patients well being, well this one isn’t! I recommend you find a better doctor.

Do not use this doctor
He is a very poor physician who simply reviews your blood work and complains about the system and how he has to continually renew prescriptions

"We can't do anything to help"
I just called in about my mother who lives alone - said I was concerned she was in critical condition after surgery, and this could easily become life threatening. I was told "we are just her Primary, there is nothing we can do." WOW. I guess not.

Robert Polling has such a horrible bedside manor, you cannot tell whether or not he is a good doctor because of his horrible verbal treatment of patients. I would never recommend him to anyone. He is even worse with children.

Robert Polling is rude, arrogant, and totally deficient as a physician. His idea of an exam is asking no questions, solely listening to your heart, running out of the examining room in five minutes. Worst doctor ever, and erases bad reviews. Be careful he uses his wife's name for good reviews with his name, no picture, next to her reviews. He leaves all of his duties to a male PA who is another arrogant, foul mouthed know it all. He makes erroneous, untrue notes on your records, and Robert refuses to correct his mistakes, and lies. If you do not wish to be permanently damaged by poor medical practice, relegated to a nasty know it all PA 99% of the time, and being subjected to 100% false information on your records, stay away from this practice with Robert and his mentored PA, at all costs. This is not medical care.
