Personable, and knowledgeable
May 06, 2023
Dr. Poli was very good. There was a resident I saw that didn't seem interested in hearing about my complex/ extensive symptoms leading to my visit. She wasn't overtly rude about it, but ultimately cut me off and dismissed some of my concerns. She seemed in a hurry to get over with my history and physical. But once Dr. Poli came in I felt like he wanted to hear what I had to say and offered very thoughtful supportive responses that addressed all my concerns.
Mar 13, 2023
Always thoughtful of any concerns
