I felt well understood and taken care of both of the doctor and the resident.
The MA was fantastic! She had a wonderful sense of humor, was caring, and was compassionate-one of a kind! Unfortunately, I can't remember her name.
IT WAS MY FIRST TIME WITH BOTH THE NURSE AND DOCTOR. I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THEM.
More team approach.
Dr. Polykoff and his assistant were absolutely wonderful. They explained everything to me. They did it well and this is the second time I've had this so I was prepared for it and knew what was going to happen anyway.
Dr. Polykoff thoughorly explained all options and what the procedures would be. He made sure I understood everything he was relaying to me. He had a sense of humor which put me at ease.
It was my first visit to this doctor.I am satisfied.
Outstanding!
Dr Polykoff is great I trust him with his oricedures
Dr. Gary Polykoff is a very competent doctor and I was happy to recommend him to my friends.
