She is a bully and if you aren't up to Her standards she will hold your meds over your head and refuse to fill them just like a bully. She does not care and is full of herself. Know it all and stuck up. Now I have to get my meds somewhere else and pay around 70 bucks when I was getting them for Free at My clinic under My insurance at the job I've worked tirelessly for for 8 years and Earned My benefits. Until this bully comes in trying to make people as "perfect" as she "is." Mercy needs to fire this bully

The best doctor I ever had. Really spends time with you and really cares. Staff is great too. Especially the nurse practitioner. Would highly recommend this medical doctor.

Dr. Poelker is the only doctor I've ever seen who takes as much time as necessary to find out what's going on with my, physically and otherwise. I never feel rushed, yet I sense that she knows what my problems are right off the bat.

This lady was my primary care physician. I have chronic back pain and fell this weekend so i made an appt with her. She came in the room like she had a bad day. Didnt speak jus sat down and started typing. I noticed she is having a baby so i congradulated her. She bever said thank u. Jus kept typing. She got up listened to my heart n back. Told me i will need to do physical therapy and she will only give me a few pain pills. Then left. I thought she was coming back, but no someone else came in with papers to go over my visit. I said my visit is over???? I still had questions. The office manager came in to try to help. But she is not my doctor. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DOCTOR SHE IS HORRIBLE N DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HER PATIENTS. I WILL FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR THAT ACTUALLY LIKES HER JOB N LIKES WHAT HE/SHE DOES 4 A LIVING.

I had stopped in looking for a new doctor closer to home and I was also ill needing to be looked at. I was able to walk in as a new patient and had a appointment one hour later. I also received follow up phone calls very quickly. Very pleased.
