I have no issues with Dr. Pollak she has been very helpful.
Dr Pollak was recommended to me with the highest regard from a close friend. I'm grateful to be under her care.
I had a very pleasant experience at my visit.
I saw resident first very knowledgeable and caring and respectful then dr came in same comment as resident
The overall quality of the service was good. Wait time was a bit long and the follow up time seems extensive. But I'm not a doctor so I guess 2 months is accurate.
I waited 4 months for the appointment & waited almost 1-1/2 hours at my appointment. Dr Pollak & the resident are great. The doctor ordered 2 tests. The office did not schedule them. I have called numerous times (4 so far) to schedule but no one has called me back. I am frustrated.
Satisfied with the attention provided, excellent services.
Dr. Pollack is on top of her game, as she should be. Great doctor. Has compassion too.
I had a good experience and the doctor provided high quality care. [...]
good experience and helpful in trying to make sure that I understood them
Excellent provider & staff. [...]
The staff was amazing. The doctor seemed to be in a little bit of a rush. When I spoke to her, she interrupted me twice. It seemed like she didn't like what I was saying or maybe I was not answering her the way she wanted me to? It felt a little awkward.
very good
