Patient Reviews
Jan 07, 2025
I have been going to Dr. Polofsky for 35+ years. He is the best doctor you will ever find. He explains everything thoroughly, takes his time with you, and really listens. He is super smart, and willing to think outside the box. The only downside to going to his office is that you will wait a pretty long time. But that’s because he is taking his time with everyone and giving the best care.
