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.

Abandoned in my greatest time of need
Don't let all of the happy cheerful 5 star reviews fool you. I would have given him 5 stars at one point too, but if you fail to show up for multiple appointments for whatever reason, (mine was my mom getting cancer and not being able to drive myself, and not having anyone else that cared about, or was even capable of taking me.) HE WILL DROP YOU LIKE A TON OF BRICKS. So sorry to all of you 5 star reviewers, but some of us around here happen to think that j Pohl, or at least his snooty little "nurses" are, just plain old evil.

I have found Dr. Pohl to be a wonderful Doctor. He is very knowledgeable, takes time with his patients and you leave his office feeling you are in good hands. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good family physician. His staff is always kind and helpful. As someone new to the area, I thank God that someone recommended Dr. Pohl to me for a family doctor. The new office is of the highest quality.
