I would not recommend making an appointment in this office.  Check-ups are very low quality, if you have hair on your chest the ladies will not do an EKG ("Our ladies do not shave you!" the Dr. said) and blood work is done off site.  You are rushed in and out of rooms multiple times, constantly going back and forth between waiting room and the lobby, and literally every aspect of the visit is RUSHED!

Overall Rating: 2.0 2019-01-04

I would not recommend Dr. Joseph Pollak or his brother Dr. Michael Pollak.  The office has not updated to electronic records and lose all their paperwork. They have withheld my anxiety and depression medication from me for months, claiming I need to get blood work done in order to receive my medication. When I made a follow up appointment to see Dr. Joseph Pollak, I was instead seen 45 minutes late by his brother, Dr. Michael Pollak. They are twins...I was not notified that I was seeing anyone other than my doctor and was scoffed at when I presented this as an issue. Extremely unprofessional and stressful experience here.
