In patients' words
"Dr. Pollock was disengaged and dismissive. He was more concerned with espousing his credentials and hearing his voice rather than listening to my daughter's symptoms and health history."
— Healthgrades review for Dr. Benjamin Pollock"His bedside manner sucks or is non existent. Very arrogant and disrespectful."
