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.

Dr Rachel Pessah-Pollack, is the true epitome of a Doctor. She is a fantastic doctor. She is the reason why I have my baby. i first went to her when my thyroid level was very high and after miscarriages due to the thyroids. . She worked with me to get my levels to normal. She was also there during the pregnancy. She always gave words of encouragement and ensured that everything was moving. I must say it was a very enjoyable experience. I just want to say thank you! Thank You!!!

Dr. Pollack is remarkable! She listens attentively to all of your needs and doesn’t dismiss what you express to her, rather finds solutions. She follows up immediately with questions in the portal and remains positive about all outcomes. So happy I found her!

Rushed, Not Thorough
I was seen by the nurse who asked what my concerns were. I told her I had a list of them. She said to prioritize one, so I said weight gain. I thought I would be able to go over the other concerns with Dr. Pollack. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The first question she asked after hearing about my struggle with weight was whether or not I had considered weight loss surgery. That question set the tone for the rest of the visit, and I felt Dr. Pollack rushed to judgement without first taking a full medical history, listening to my list of concerns, or taking into account my history of successful weight loss through diet and exercise. Additionally, the whole point of me going to a specialist was for a full, thorough exam to get to the bottom of all my symptoms. I didn’t even get the chance to go through them, and Pollack only ran one test on my thyroid (TSH). I felt I was treated as “another overweight patient complaining” as opposed to an individual. I cannot recommend.

I was referred to Dr. Pollack after being diagnosed with an issue with my thyroid. She has been treating me for years, and has been an integral part of making me feel better. As a physician, she is a great listener, and she always pays attention to my concerns. Her schedule is very accommodating, she doesn't rush the patients. She explains everything really well, and makes her patients feel comfortable. Rarely, do you find a doctor who is as patient, kind, and brilliant as Dr. Pollack.
