he is my favorite doctor! No one else serms to honestly CARE about me ( even though I sm old -79– he doesn’t didmiss me or take my concerns about my health lightly or as if they are all in my imaginatikn because I am okd. some do) He had wonderful energy and listens. I had hip replacement surgery 3 months ago so I hadn’t seen him in 6 months while I was healing. he even cared about that and was thrilled that I can walk a mile now on my new him. he soent time telling me that hos grandma waited til she was in her 90’s to have it done and telling me a great walking trail near my home. HE CARES SOO MUCH. We both discoved that my hip pain was why I was so tired the last time I saw him and he was very glad that mystery was solved since he had gone to extra effort to check other areas in my blood test to hopefully get to the cause of my extreme fatigue with no answer. my tests were all fine. He was so happy that mystery blood test showed my thyroid waz doing great now because, in the past it would be too high ir low. he has really worked to get it all in balance and his responces to this hearthfelt. He gives the patient so much time and focus and honestly is very happy when your health improves!! When there is an issue, he goes out of his way to get to the bottom of it for your benefit. There is no one like him. excellent doctor who is great witj the patient because he genuinely cares. It is soo obvious as his patient that he loves his work, is a excellent dr, and genuinely personally cares. so dedicated. I would recommend him sooo highly to my family and friends. i left the last minute video visit that his staff got me today feeling great on many levels. i never leave a dr office like that these days. all my other drs are fine but no one puts in the extra effort or cares about my health ( even thrilled about my hip surgery! and taking thectime to have a good convetsation with me about it) I am sorry this response is so long but he is amazing and I can’t praise him and thank him enough. also. ( I am typing on my phone so please overlook the typos) He takes the best care of this grateful patient.

I love seeing Dr. Polisky so much because he is so nice, caring, and supportive. I wish I could copy and paste him into different specialties so that he could be my dr for every concern I have. He is genuinely interested in how i am doing and takes time to make sure my treatment is progressing safely and effectively. I enjoy coming in just because I know I can trust him with my wellbeing. He literally transformed me into the person I’ve always wanted to be. I make my appointments with him on Fridays because it’s the best way to start the weekend.
