Everyone, including the receptionists in the waiting room, were extremely kind, friendly and helpful. I have never encountered such incredible efficiency and unfortunately, I have had a lot of medical procedures and visited many different providers' offices, so I speak from experience. Cendy, Dr. Polifka's assistant, was absolutely wonderful and so helpful. I was amazed how quickly she scheduled my initial appointment and then my follow up telemedicine appointment, both within days of my call. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Polifka. He takes his time explaining your issues and the procedures he would recommend. I really appreciated that he provided options regarding the procedures that were available to address my condition. It is obvious how much he cares about his patients. I have already recommended him to other folks.

Dr. Polifka and his staff have been phenomenal. Easy to talk to, ask questions and raise concerns. They have been easy to access both before the surgery and after. I love the fact that they treat you like a friend, roll a chair up next to you and walk the journey with you!

Liked what I was told. Doctor reviewed my MRI with me and explained everything throughly.

What is foremost in my thoughts is how at ease I was made to feel for my procedure. It was explained plainly, along with the chances of any issues arising and how best to avoid them. Once I made the decision to go forward, the process was shockingly smooth and straightforward with all pre-op requirements scheduled and satisfied so my procedure could take place in a few days time. After over 20 years of making due with my injury, I am eternally grateful for the immaculate relief I am already experiencing.
