Oscar R Polo, MD

This doctor has been so disrespectful of my time. Once they had me undress and and sit in the office naked from the waist down for over an hour to meet him and he DIDN’T even examine me. When he finally came in he had absolutely NO idea why I was there. ZERO.
Every single visit has been over an hour late from my scheduled scheduled time. I work full time and have meetings. I take time off of work to come to the doctor. I literally lose money to see the doctor, and the longer I have to wait, the less income I make for that day. I don’t have time to deal with a doctor’s poor management skills.
And he’s so back and forth about treatment. One appointment he tells me that his advice is to have surgery and not wait. The next appointment he says, «I know you’re already scheduled for everything, but we don’t have to do surgery. We could wait. It could go away on it’s own.» He then starts talking to me about putting in an IUD while he does the other procedure. I have told him several times that I don’t want one. This was after months of telling me he thinks it’s wise just to have it removed just in case.
Today was my two week post op appointment. First I was scheduled for a different day, and then it turns out it was moved without anyone telling. Fine, whatever. I came in today. They scheduled me as his first patient today. I was told to come in at 845. So I did, and then I was told my appointment was actually for 9:30. So I came back at 9:30. Then at 9:50, I was told that Dr. Polo isn’t even in the office, but he’s on his way. It will just be 30 mins. Then at 10:15, the nurse called me and told me just not to come in at all, that he doesn’t need to see me. I have to ASK for the lab results. The nurse tells me it’s benign.
These types of appointments are tough for me, but I feel this clinic has gone way out of it’s way to make things difficult as possible. I will not be returning to this clinic and I advice other people to stay away.

After battling Endometriosis for years and dealing with horrible doctors who just want your paycheck, a friend referred Dr. Polo to me. Dr. Polo was kind and actually listened to me rather than treating me like a crazy person.
I had tried birth control 14 times and failed each time. I had done 2 surgeries and only had it come back 6 months later. I tried an IUD, which was also disastrous. I was 30 years old and wanting a hysterectomy because everything else had failed.
Dr. Polo talked me into doing Lurpon, which isn’t easy. I’m as stubborn as a mule. It was something I found very frightening since it has so many side effects and is considered to be a chemotherapy drug. Admittedly, I questioned his sanity. Nonetheless, nothing else had worked and quite frankly, I didn’t want to lose my lady parts at such a young age, because there could be worse consequences.
Dr. Polo knew that I didn’t have any insurance, because it’s difficult for someone like me to get it. He signed me up for a foundation and I receive my medication for free. He saved me $ 7,600 in fees. My other doctors all let me pay $ 50,000 total in surgeries and visits, which I’ve paid for out of pocket. I’ve got a mountain of debt and I’m only 30 and have really yet to start living.
This drug changed my life. My pain is completely gone. Yes, I have side effects, but God Bless Dr. Polo for convincing me to do this. It has been a total game changer. I can function for the first time in my life.
This man isn’t in it for the money. He really cares and he really listens to you.
