Good experience.
This is the first time I have been seen by Dr. Pollak. She is wonderful. She is on top of her game. She truly cares for your health. I highly recommend her.
My experience with Dr. Pollak is always wonderful!
very satisfactory
good experience
very satisfied
Doctor N. Pollak is the best otolaryngologist. She cured my complicated [...] middle ear when 2 others doctors could not.
This was a telephone visit. This went good and smooth as it could possibly be Due Covid 19
I didn't actually see Dr Pollack in the office because of the recent pandemic. I was calling to change the appointment and Dr Pollack got on the phone and went over things for me [...] she's a very kind person
Dr. Pollak understands my hearing loss/problem - explains and follows through.
Overall so far so good.
Keep up the good work!
Good experience.
Very thorough in explaining position/conclusion. Gave me insightful information. Had researched my history. Put me at ease regarding no further ENT testing necessary.
Dr. Pollak was not as warm as I was hoping she would be [...].
The visit was very good. The doctor remembered me from the 1st time I saw her.
It was a good experience. The care provider and staff were professional, and communicative with me about my health issue. I am now set up for annual appointments.
Keep up the awesome service!
everything went smoothly and was what I was hoping for. The information Dr. P. and the residents provided was very reassuring. I seem to be hearing better since my visit.
i had a problem and was fit into the schedule. I just felt the exam was rushed.
