I feel that I owe my life to Dr. Pollock. We had a close family friend that was diagnosed with colon cancer and went through treatment the same time as me. His doctor chose to wait on surgery. Dr. Pollock did not wait. Our friend died before he could have surgery. I can't say enough good about Dr. Pollock.

I always feel like I'm treated with respect and understanding. This is a very compassionate provider along with his nurse staff.

THOSE I SAW AT APPOINTMENTS SEEMED TO REALLY CARE ABOUT MY QUESTIONS AND ESPECIALLY, MY CARE. I TRUST THEM AND THEY DESERVE BY THEIR PERFORMANCE, THAT TRUST. Well Done!
Swedish Patient
Super professional and informative about a very painful and rather embarrassing condition! The entire staff is great. When he was running slightly late for my appt they let me know right away. Due to why I was there, I hope I never see him again, but if I do, i'll be so grateful If he's the doctor I see! Thank you Dr Pollock and thanks again for everyone at the practice for your care and for helping with my healing :)

Doctor was fantastic. Wait time between seeking an appointment and an open appointment with the doctor was too long.
