Patient Reviews
Sep 29, 2024
Dr. Polykoff has followed me for pervasive progressive neuropathy for several years: we've had in person and Telehealth visits . He has been the only one with the courage to tell me that it's most likely that my problems are the result of side effects of medications taken as prescribed over the course of decades during which no provided had either the courage or knowledge to let me know this was going on. He has been caring, available, and consistent in both understanding me and in providing safe alternatives to the conventional 'care' that's harmed me. He's had the courage to speak up when he thought I might be headed in the wrong direction. He has not urged needless and potentially harmful testing likely to provide little to no benefit or further harm. He has supported me in all of my efforts to pursue health and healing. He's made irreplaceable contributions to my life for all the reasons listed above. In my experience, Dr. Polykoff is hands down the best provider in his field.
