ConFirm is the leading provider of biological monitoring services in the North American dental market and conducts more than 2 million tests annually.

A graduate of University of Wisconsin, Madison, Law School and a certified public accountant, Pollock actively participates in Doral's Social Responsibility Committee, which promotes community partnerships through sponsorship and volunteerism.
