Dr. Pohlman has been my oncologist since 2003. Over the years, through numerous treatments, bone marrow transplant and beyond we have developed a solid doctor/patient relationship. I have a great deal of respect for Dr. Pohlman and his vast knowledge and expertise. My continued success and good health through this complex lymphoma journey is credited in large part to him.

Called 3 times, talked to same lady to schedule appt. Finally some days later doctor's office called me. It was not doctor's office whom I had talked to, but she said I had to call through the cancer center. I had seen Dr Polhman in 2015, so I really was not a "new" patient. Everyone in his office was super nice, and Dr Pohlman was extremely informative & took his time with us. I recommend him highly. Thank you.

I can not say enough wonderful things about Dr. Pohlman. he is by far the best. his knowledge astounds me yet he explains everything in terms I understand. I feel like he is just a "friend" when he walks in the office. He is personable and goes the extra step to make you feel comfortable and heard. I have never felt raced through a visit, he acknowledges and is welcoming to everyone who comes with me. he engages in conversation and always seems happy to do so. And he got me into remission. I feel respected and cared for deeply.

Dr. Pohlman has been my oncologist for several years. I have complete confidence in him. After greeting me, he immediately told me that I was fine. He had ordered multiple tests so he knew my status, and gave me the great news first, then went into more detail. There have been appointments in the past where the news was NOT good, but Dr. Pohlman had a way of discussing scary subjects that made me able to listen and understand what he was saying, rather than freaking out. He's really special.

Dr. Pohlman always hears my concerns throughly and does everything to make sure my remission continues. sometimes it is difficult to live with the anxiety of a possible relapse and it is very comforting that when concerns arise they are treated with seriousness and kindness.
