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 Pollack has been my Ophthalmologist for over 7 years now, and for the last two years has literally saved my vision. At the beginning of 2019 my vision in both my eyes was in serious Jeopardy and Dr Pollack perform a series of complicated surgeries to save my eyesight. I could’ve and almost should’ve went blind due the damage my eyes had sustained due to type 1 diabetes. After one surgery Dr Pollack even came in on a Saturday night to see me because I was dealing with high pressure in my right eye. Dr Pollack’s office staff is literally the best I’ve ever encountered. They’re all very knowledgeable in their crath, courtesy, and professionalism. If you’re dealing with a complexes retina issue, I wouldn’t recommend seeing anyone else but Dr.Pollack.

Made me feel comfortable and more important explained nature of a very complicated eye surgery. The surgery lasted 3 hours, since I was awake, aware how focused he was. Surgery was a success and excellent follow up. Unusual for surgeons, he brings a warm, personal touch to the process
