Dr Pollock is direct, knowledgeable and sets realistic expectations. He is maybe not as optimistic as some prefer, but I find his approach much more honest and I trust him.

Dr. Pollock was my second opinion for colon cancer. He saved my life. My husband's co-worker was diagnosed a the same time. We went through the same treatment. We were both adv. To wait until the first of the year for surgery. I went to Dr. Pollock for a 2nd opinion. He did surgery in Nov. My husband's co-worker did not seek a second opinion. He died in Jan. I have another friend, and the same thing happened with her brother-in-law. He was adv. To wait before surgery and died. I can't say enough good thigs about Dr. Pollock.
