Not returning for follow up
Dr. Pollak was excellent in every way in my interactions with her, from my first visit, through my surgery and follow-up to this visit. I have complaints whatsoever, other than a rather long wait time, which is easly understood, since there is always a possibility of a doctor encountering something unexpected.
Dr. Pollock is a very caring and an exceptional Doctor and is very concerned about my problems. I feel as though she is a friend.
Dr Pollak is very nice and friendly, discusses matters in a easy way to understand and has a genuine concern for me.
Good experience.
