This dentist is a cheapskate. Check out his “fees,” such as those for X-ray processing, that I have never been charged before by any other dentist, as well as others that I have never even heard of before, such as those for needle removal, which were described by my insurance company, Blue Cross/ Blue Shield, as “outrageous.” Check out his office--the carpet looks like it has not been replaced in decades, is marked by mismatched swaths in different rooms, with little strips between rooms, and the walls have smudges and dents. Check out the impact of his financial self-interest on patient treatment: I saw him for the first time after being seen by my old dentist (in another state) for years and who, at the most recent visit, didn’t find any problems. Dr. Pollack recommended, at my visit three months ago, that I have two crowns put in, my gums rebuilt and a mouth guard made. I refused everything and am pleased to say that I have not had to see a dentist since. Finally, with respect to competence, check this: He managed to lose my X-rays, the ones he was trying to charge me to get access to.

I know this doctor: 3 months
