Office visit went very good entire staff. Surgery was a success no back pain it has been over 6 months. Dr. Polestar and his entire staff at his office and the Hospital made me feel great and calmed my nerves. With a great staff like Tameka, Linda, Julia and Doug I felt apart of their family. I will always be greatful for the care and concern that the gave me. All very professional knowledgeable and polite. Thanks to you all.
