I would not recommend any other physician for this type of procedure. He was absolutely amazing, kind and gentle. Make sure my family and myself understood exactly what the surgical procedure was going to be the before and after effects as well very on point

Dr. Poehlmann was thorough with my follow up and pleased with the outcome. I have no issues after surgery and extremely satisfied with the outcome. He answered any questions I had. He is an excellent surgeon and I truly appreciate the time and effort he provided in handling my situation and ensuring I would be able to return to doing all of the things I truly enjoy.

Felt the doctor was dismissive to several of my statements about my condition.

The doctor was excellent-especially in understanding my fears and made me feel comfortable. He explained everything in detail and followed up his explanations with a huge booklet that had the information in even more detail.

Absolutely awful! Made multiple unnecessary incisions, would not explain exactly what he did after my bladder surgery, discharged me with an open wound and prescribed 8 pain meds and zero antibiotics! After I did some research on him I found out he’s from Texas and has multiple malpractice suits! STAY AWAY from this fraudulent “doctor” or you’ll pay the consequences!

2 years since he performed pro-lapse and bladder surgery on me. I completely regret the result. My condition is worse than it was prior to the surgery.

I have nothing good to say! Do yourself a favor and research other surgeons!

Due to Poehlmann’s ignorance and arrogance I underwent eight surgeries and lost my kidney.
