Dr. Pohlgeers is really great for me. I actually left my appointment feeling BETTER than when I went in. She understood what I needed for my healthcare needs and even took care of my runny nose too.

Hands Down, there is no better doctor than Dr. Pohlgeers. I would not see my doctor regularly if it were not her. My wife agreed to start seeing her doctor regularly when we found Dr. Pohlgeers. Otherwise, she would not go. When I meet with or message Dr. Pohlgeers, I feel cared about.
