My experience with Dr. Pole has been pleasant . He is a knowledgeable physician. I came to him as a Lymphoma patient and he has monitored my progress. I am no long a cancer patient. I am thankful for that. Dr. Pole ask lots of questions to get a picture of what is going on with the patient’s heath.
