excellent service
Good & wonderful experience.
Keep up the great work!
great service and a next-day appointment
Apparently my appointment was canceled and neither I nor the provider knew why. BUT they worked to fit me into the time I was originally scheduled. All worked out perfectly.
Very good experience.
No problems occurred.
Dr. Pollak is an outstanding physician, who always reviews my entire health profile and suggests treatment/follow-up plans as needed.
