Dr. Dean Pollock, MD

I would not recommend Dr. Pollack to anyone. He may know what he is doing, but he has one of the worst bed side manners of any doctor we have encountered. From the moment he came in the examination room, he seemed hurried, unfriendly and impatient. He asked my wife questions and if she did not immediately answer the question the way he wanted her to, he would ask the question again in a rude, frustrated manner. He did not seem to be interested in any information we felt relevant to the examination, unless it answered his immediate questions. He listened to her heart and said he did not think anything was wrong with her and was ready to send her home. It was only at my insistence that he recommended a heart monitor and stress test. He did not seem interested in any previous diagnoses my wife was given by other doctors, even though they had diagnosed her with heart issues. His attitude seemed to be, "She's fine now, so no concerns." We will definitely not be going to this doctor again.

Have been seeing Dr. Pollock for many years now. Not only is he a top notch cardiologist, but he’s also kind, patient and honest. He’s gone out of his way and beyond the call of duty for me several times, when I’ve needed help for my heart issues. I would absolutely recommend him to family and friends, and have on several occasions over the years.

In the end he is the one who saved my life. I felt fine after 1 hr of his miraculous handwork of stenting my mid LAD. I just just see a pin hole mark in my right wrist and that is it. Unimaginable surgical skills. But I did not see the awesome Dr who saved my life.

He is caring compassionate and a true professional. Takes time to answer questions and discuss patient’s health care and progress

He is thorough and runs on time. I drive 25 miles to see him versus seeing someone else at a closer office

Dr. Pollock is a true professional. He saved my fathers life and left his home late at night in the middle of his sleep to save yet another life. Dr. Pollock not only did his job, but comforted me and explained his procedure and was successful in helping my dad see another day. With his wisdom, experience, and compassion; he is a cardiologist with the right approach and the utmost respect. After 25 years of dealing with highly intelligent doctors, he is one of the best in his field and it shows

Despite my very minor symptoms, he saved my life in 2012. In a cath lab procedure he inserted 4 stents in the arteries serving my heart, one of which, the "widowmaker" was 90 percent blocked. I've been seeing him since for followups. I would trust him with my life again anytime.

In my opinion my reception at your office was dismissive, discourteous and rude. The doctor refused to hear my concerns. My treatment was hurtful, unprofessional and wrong. I would never recommend Dr. Pollock or his practice to any family or friends.

Dr Pollock saw me on short notice at the behest of my primary care. He spent 30 minutes with me and answered all my questions clearly and with patience. He indicated a course of treatment and a number of lifestyle changes to treat persistent AFIB with followup within 6 weeks. It has been over 8 weeks and I cannot get an appointment sooner than the end of next month because he is "not in the facility much". Guess I need a new cardiologist who is available more than once a calendar quarter.
