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. Pollock is a wonderful Doctor. I have been going to him for well over 20 years, from my sinus issues to Vertigo and my parotidectomy he has done wonders. He has a wonderful personality and explains everything very well.

Great doctor
My 4 months old had a mucosal in her mouth. As a mom to a small baby I was super scared. Saw her before the insurance fully cleared and was great the whole time. Talked to me like a person (which most doctors don't most in my experience are socially awkward) and made something that would have been scary in any other situation not scary. Did the little surgery to remove it and was super nice through the whole process.

Dr. Pollack removed my tonsils and adenoids when I was a teenager. He was very thorough in his assessment and explaination (15 years ago). He has also successfully treated my mother just a few months ago. I will be taking my child to see him soon, as he's the best in the area.

When he first started practicing, I respected Dr. Pollock. The fact that he could recommend using simple salt with water as a treatment for a sore throat or sinus problem was impressive. But many years later. When I saw him about a loss of smell and taste, I found out from him that nothing could be done and those senses might return in time. However, I left his office with a prescription for a very expensive nose inhaler which was completely unrelated to my problem. He caught on quick!

I highly recommend Dr. Pollock for any ent pediatric issue or concern. My daughter was 2 years old when we started seeing him and doctors' visits and checkups were very unpleasant due to her constant ear infections. Dr. Pollock was phenomenal with our daughter. He established a very quick and trusting rapport with our daughter and was just great with her. His staff is pleasant and very helpful also. Overall just a very successful and pleasant experience.
