Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Waiting for 4 hours in rooms filled with sick patients obviously being treated in various stages of cancer, Dr not even in the building. No regard to say you won’t get in until after 6 pm

Dr. Pollard always fights for her patients. The wait time is a little long. When my mother was sick in the hospital and coding she went to see me first before she went to the office. My mother is with me today because of her. If you are willing to wait. She will go above and beyond for you.

Doctor Pollard has been treating me since 2015, and I would not have it any other way. She is extremely thorough and efficient. If you want real care and not a production line event meaning that you want more than two or three minutes and no time to ask questions go elsewhere because she does not short change her patients for anything. There is no other doctor that puts as much time into their patients.

Never go into an appt. and expect to get out under three hours. This place is hectic, unorganized, and the atmosphere feels more like an overbooked poorly run hair salon than a professional medical office.

I am a Veteran suffering from several issues, one of which is chronic Low Blood Counts. Doctor Easter Pollard has continuously maintained a very high level of being Professional and is very good in breaking down medical terms into what a lay-man can understand. I find my visits to her and her staff as very courteous, and knowledgeable. I have seen her doing well above and beyond what other doctors do, e.g., I have seen her checking on her hospitalized patients at 1:00-2;00 a.m. She cares !
