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.

I had Hysterectomy and he is such a kind and caring doctor. Best doctor!!! I have been his patient for a long time. He is absolutely and always professional. He always spend time, explaining everything. Most of the time, he returned my calls himself. I highly recommend him.

“Do you take good care of your husband and your home?” I never expected a gynecologist to ask me this question. Upon being asked by my doctor to visit a gynecologist one more time to firmly rule out disease of the reproductive system (before continuing care in the gasterointestinal area) I went to see Dr. Pollack. It ended with me being told all of my issues are mental (despite telling him that I was just diagnosed with a C. difficile infection two weeks earlier and am pending scopes to determine intestinal damage) My gastrointestinal issues all started with a gynecological procedure, which is why I was told by my doctor to see Gyno once more to totally rule out damage to the reproductive tract that could possibly cause ongoing pelvic/bowel issues. He told me to ignore my gastrointenstinal specialist’s instructions to have an endoscopy/colonoscopy and instead seek mental help because a woman well enough to uphold her home is “functional” and not unwell.

Dr.Pollack is the best obgyn I have ever had by far. He genuinely cares for his patients and has incredible expertise. The fact that he is in private practice is wonderful and he provides such personalized care. He delivered my daughter in September and I could not be more happy with the care I received through. Wonderful staff as well!
