Scam!!! Beware People, & avoid This Dentist. Knowing I was new in town, he lied to me I had 14 cavities that needed fillings: I knew of only 2 cavities from my last visit with my previous dentist 2 weeks prior. I also take very good care of my teeth, avoid sugary drinks & don't smoke. Unfortunately, I took the bait and scheduled a second visit to get fillings. During the procedure, I realized he was drilling holes into some teeth that were perfectly healthy on the opposite side, instead of working on the teeth with real cavities that were causing me pain on the other side. When I asked why he was working on those teeth instead of the ones I came in for, he said it's his Strategy, and told me I will have to schedule future visits for fillings in the teeth on the other side that were hurting (the ones that truly needed the fillings). Red Flag!!! I should have trusted my instincts and walked right out. A re-examination of my X-rays at the end of the ordeal showed there was nothing wrong with the teeth he operated on. I believe he drilled holes in them intentionally to squeeze more cash out of me. I also saw numerous questionable charges on the bill. I felt cheated and wounded because he caused unnecessary damage to my healthy teeth that could become more problematic down the road. He was dismissive when I asked him to show me the cavities on the x-ray and told me I won't be able to see them anyways. Why on earth will he start off working on invisible cavities instead of the ones that needed immediate care? He must have realized I caught on to his scam because he became even more dismissive and downright cold when I requested a copy. They were reluctant to give me a copy of my X-rays (which they also charge heavily for by the way). Please don't fall for Dr. Pollack's scams!!! Avoid this place to prevent unnecessary suffering, heavy expenses, and long term problems.

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.
