Patient Reviews
Feb 21, 2017
Dr. Polston and his team have been taking care of me for about 18 months. I've been to other pain management doctors with other health plans, and he is my favorite. He listens, offers relevant recommendations, is caring and compassionate. Is easy to schedule with him. Injections are at Moores Cancer Center and the staff is attentive and professional while being compassionate and pleasant. The injections are handled expertly and in most cases I'm seen on time.
