Samuel Polk Iii Md's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Polk and his entire staff are such wonderful people. They are patient, kind, compassionate, professional, and truly care about your whole being. We have been to their office twice so far and each time you do have to wait some, as in most doctor offices, but the staff is worth the wait. Dr. Polk spends excellent, quality time with you and answers all questions prior to leaving the room. He and his staff are truly genuine.

Wonderful, Personable and Professional!!!

I hate that Dr Polk nurse takes forever to get back with you. They take so long to do whatever treatment they plan on doing. My procedure has been scheduled over one month out. I have been dealing with my problems too long and they treat nothing as urgent. I will be looking for another physician.

First I want to make clear that I adore Dr.Polk. He is the only doctor that actually listened to me and tried to help. Now, the people who are supposed to fight with your insurance company to get the much needed surgery? Not so much! It’s been almost a year and they still can’t reach somebody? Even though I’ve gotten all the information for them and gave it to Dr.Polk to give them, and still nothing is done. Like I said, I love Dr. Polk, but I really really need my surgery. It’s getting so much worse.

i’ve seen Dr. Polk for at least 9 years due to disc degeneration & arthritis in my lower back. before coming to Semmes-Murphy, i “took the tour” of several other doctors & back clinics in Memphis & was not pleased w/ the care & treatment. Dr. Polk takes the time to listen carefully to my complaints. he thoroughly explains the treatment options i have available. he treats my pain issues. he is always respectful & knowledgeable & caring. i cannot imagine having another back pain care doctor. he’s the best i’ve ever seen.

I saw Dr. Polk for pain management for 17 years for a very bad back after being referred by a Semmes Murphy doctor. I thought he was kind and caring and I liked him very much. On my last appointment I was taken to a treatment room and his nurse, Leah, came in and told me Dr. Polk couldn't see me anymore. After 17 years there was no explanation. The only thing I can imagine would be my age (80) and health condition? You would think after that long a time he would be courteous enough to come in and explain why. I am still very hurt by this.

I have had a nerve block 3 times by Dr Polk and he is an excellent doctor

I liked his professionalism and he Care and was concern but mostly I like that I called back a day later and spoke with his nurse on some things that I needed to know she got right back with a fast response. I like that I’m from Maryland and being down in the south it’s a lot different but that was nice ??

My husband is finally feeling relief after receiving care from Dr. Polk. His bedside manner was amazing and he is truly a professional and good at what he does. The staff was kind and they took time to answer questions and make us feel comfortable. Hope we don't have to see them too much but it does take away some stress if we do :) Thank you!

I have pain relief for the first time in over three months after just one treatment from Dr. Polk. His bedside manner is excellent. Highly recommend.
