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.

He manages the VA Pain Clinic. The Pain Clinic was unable to meet my non-narcotic needs, Dr. Polston's technologies are 30 years behind modern medicine. Unable to recommend.

Dr. Polston and his team have been taking care of me for about 18 months. I've been to other pain management doctors with other health plans, and he is my favorite. He listens, offers relevant recommendations, is caring and compassionate. Is easy to schedule with him. Injections are at Moores Cancer Center and the staff is attentive and professional while being compassionate and pleasant. The injections are handled expertly and in most cases I'm seen on time.
