MIchael E. Pollack's Online Review Report Card

I have been visiting Dr Pollack for now ten years,nice guy but His FRONT DESK STAFF IS VERY RUDE,EAT OPENLY FOID WITHOUT MASK,LEAVE MASKS ON CHIN N THROAT AND ASAP PATIENT ENTERS ,THEY SCREAM THEM,,"""PUT THE MASK ON NOW"" I PERSONALLY MADE MANY COMPLAINTS BUT NOTHING CHANGED SO THEN I STOPPED TAKING HIS APPOINTMENTS TY

I saw Dr Pollack for shoulder pain he seems knowledgeable but extremely dismissive and arrogant. He seemed annoyed when asked questions and was more concerned with rushing the appointment along. I recommend if your condition is black and white. Otherwise he won’t take the time to understand you or your condition.

Usually spend an hour waiting and only 5 minutes with Dr. Pollack. He is The rudest Dr. I ever met. He does not want to hear any thing you have to say and cuts you off if you try to tell him anyway. He types on the computer a pre determined out come of your visit while your trying to talk to him. Just look at your patient portal and see for yourself. He types things that were never discussed. He NEVER washes or sanitize his hands before touching you. You know this because you can hear him through the walls talking to other patients and walks out and right into your exam room. He is not familiar with your case, file, or why your even there. And this is after 7 months! He sends you for tests then never discusses the results. And as far as surgery, my knees are in worse pain then ever. My quality of life has changed for the worse. No compassion whatsoever. After 7 months, he dropped me and said go see someone else. I have ran into over 2 dozen people who have the same type of experience about messed up surgeries and his awful bedside manners. Stay away! He’s no good!

Worst bedside manner I've ever encountered. I echo other's feedback about arrogance and dispassion. Dr. Pollack was extraordinarily dismissive regarding problems brought to his attention and with zero sympathy for the outcomes of those problems. I never want to be treated again the way I was treated by him, and particularly during my last visit, which was today.

Dr. P. Saw my daughter years ago and he is so sweet and caring. He explains everything thoroughly and makes you feel at ease.

I chose to see Michael Pollack for my shoulder pain due to his excellent reviews, so I was surprised when I met such an arrogant and unknowledgeable physician. I was wearing a sling do decrease the pain caused by a torn shoulder labrum, nerve impingement, and a severely arthritic acromion process. He told me that to not wear the sling because it would atrophy my shoulder muscles. I explained that I wear the brace during increased pain and remove it when the pain decreases, but he did not listen. He then gave me two injections to my shoulder, handed me a generic listing of shoulder exercises, and told me I would be OK in a few weeks. I asked him about the torn labrum and he said it was normal for a 53-year-old man, and did not need to be addressed? Two weeks later I saw another Surgeon who told me the exercises given by Mike Pollack were contraindicated for my injuries and scheduled me for surgery which included repair of my torn labrum. I would never recommend Pollack and I'm a Doctor!

His reviews are mixed with great results but poor in informative and compassionate dialogue. Man of few words and doesn’t seem too interested in what I need to say regarding my condition. Had to stop him and ask him to answer my questions. Seemed very rushed like it was painful to have dialogue with me as a patient. Wish he would relax and cheer up. I will proceed with surgery however I would like to send him a six pack of good beer To get him to relax,have good professional conversations and cheer him up!

Dr. Pollack performed rotator cuff surgery on both my shoulders...one right after the other...due to a fall. I couldn’t be more happy with the results. I found him kind and knowledgeable. He is a very talented surgeon.

Dr. Pollack is an Awesome doctor, knowledgeable and compassionate!!! I had a total knee replacement and I was driving in 8 days. I would recommend him in a heart beat. Staff is great too.
