Dr Poling did a complete wellness checkup & I wanted him to check my left ear & he gave me some meds. Also he checked my heart, earlier in the week I had been in much stress over emergency surgery on my son & my heart had pounded hard for about a minute. Dr Poling assured me my heart had a normal rhythm. He said I should call his office if I had any other issues. I've been his patient for quite some years so I'm very comfortable with him as my Dr.
