Dr. Philip Adelmo Pollice, MD

Completely dismissed my concerns respiratory concerns that I have been dealing with for 13 years, told me that if I “have good hygiene, eat fruits and veggies, and drank water” I wouldn’t get sick. Told me “come and see me when you’re sick” when I told him I already was sick, for the 4th time this winter. Awful bedside manner, left upset and like I wasted my time.

Dr. Pollice was highly recommended and I thought after several bouts with Vertigo and several visits to Mercy that I was on right track. Unfortunately The Dr. didn't seem to want to hear me out and my concerns. Despite my concerns he basically said I could follow the care or do nothing. To add to the frustration I tried e mailing questions of the concerns that were not answered at the visit regarding the side effects of meds. I was told that it was to hard to discuss by email and that I could either take the medication or go see another specialist regarding the other problems with my kidney functions. Once again, It is in my record that I am under UPMC Kidney stone clinic care and to add insult to injury I was referred to as a Her and she in the e mail. My name is Stephen not Stephanie. Simple details....makes you wonder about the more critical details!

First time patient because of insurance reasons. Spent 2 seconds looking at my previous tests for 20+ thyroid nodules, some over 4 centimeters - told me for the future go to a UPMC facility to have my tests done.. No further evaluation on thyroid, but decided I needed a 10 second test on my voice box(???) - And received a bill for $116 because it wasn't covered by my UPMC health plan. He is a joke

Dr. Pollice was very thorough, Patient, and great bedside manners. Highly recommend!!

Will not want to listen to any of your history or prior treatment options, will cut you off if he feels like it is taking too long or deviates from his plan. I had to stop an appointment mid-session because he was so cold. He seemed knowledgeable, but unfortunately I would not recommend him under any circumstances.

Dr. Pollice is WONDERFUL! After discovering I had throat cancer, he had me set up for all needed tests to perform the biopsy. Within in four days we had the results and he got me into the Cancer Center at Passivant Hospital. Now a year later I still see him and I am cancer FREE. Dr. Pollice and his staff were nothing less than exceptional! So thankful to have him in our Pittsburgh area.

I was referred to Dr. Pollice after my PCP discovered a thyroid nodule. The initial biopsy determined a likelihood of malignancy. Dr. Pollice called me right away and thoroughly explained everything. He discussed my options and gave me his recommendation. Just prior to my surgery, I came down with a bad case of strep. Dr. Pollice called me and eased my worries. I had a total thyroidectomy a few days later. Everything went great. I cannot say enough about the professionalism and competency of Dr. Pollice and my entire surgical team at Mercy Hospital. They were great. After the final biopsy results were released, Dr. Pollice again phoned me at home again and discussed all of my options at my follow up appointment. My scar is healing nicely, but more importantly, I feel very confident that the cancer is gone and am so relieved to have found Dr. Pollice. Good doctors seem hard to come by these days.
