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 love Megan as a doctor, but her availability is very limited. I have had scripts denied because she did not respond to the ins co requests for prior authorization. She is only in the office a few days a week.

Televisit was offered and I was able to get the help I needed. In addition, I was able to get information from the service, on call when the office was closed the following day. Both times I appreciated the help from Megan Pollema.

Megan Pollema has been my NP for eight years and I have highest trust and respect in her medical expertise and ability to diagnose and treat any and all health issues including recent Appointment connecting with her via Telehealth Services. Megan’s approach, her thoroughness and kind manner was as outstanding during this particular video conference as she is in person. I would not hesitate in using Telehealth Services in the future with Megan Pollema as my practitioner.

I needed to re-schedule my wellness appointment due to Dr Mabin being out of the office, so scheduled with it with Megan Pollema this spring. I met with Megan on March 4. I only waited about 5 minutes until called into the exam room. The CNA asked me several questions and asked about specific issues I wanted to discuss. Shortly after she left, Megan came in. She reviewed my file, answered my questions concerning previous tests from other doctors sent to their office, and reviewed my list of medicines. She suggested a medicine for the congestion I was having and then submitted the prescription to my pharmacy where I picked it up the following day. This was my first appointment with Megan and I would not hesitate to book appointments with her in the future. She was very nice, professional, and able to answer all my medical questions.

I had a appointment with Megan on February 16, 2020 at 9:30 AM. I arrived at 9:15 and was given several papers to fill out. I had not finished the paper work when the nurse called foe me. I was in the exam room for probably not more than 10 minutes when Megan came in. She examined me and ask me if I was feeling alright and took the time to listen. She was very friendly and professional at the same time. This was the second time I have had Megan as my doctor and I have been very pleased both times. I would highly recommend her.
