Patient Reviews
Jun 27, 2023
My wife had an arterial bleed in the main artery feeding blood into the spine. Baptist in Pensacola wanted to airlift her down but were not sure she could live through the journey. We were subsequently transferred to another hospital in Pensacola and the surgeon ordered her wheelchair and told us there was a high probability she would be paralyzed for life. Not being content to take this as a "done deal" we contacted the Gainsville hospital and were soon underway where we were placed in the care of Dr. Polifka. The next day my wife was taken by ambulance, and I followed the following morning. The wife arrived at four AM on a Saturday morning and at seven AM I was on the phone via FaceTime with Dr. Polifka. He walked me through the four-step plan and on Monday took her back for a serious surgery. We were blessed and got to stop on step one. Today my wife has no impairment, Regained most of her lost memory and all because of the skills and professionalism of Dr. Polifka.
