I went to a couple different offices to see what the issues were my foot were. Dr. Polun truly gave me a complete experience. I call it complete because he identifies all the issues (issues you didn't know were an issue), educates you, and then gives you "your options." In addition, he gives his recommend course of action. In my case I was flat footed and had a painful bunion. Dr. Polun explained to me what the road to recovery would look like and didn't sugar coat anything. I am about 6 months post op from my first surgery with Dr. Polun and honestly he was with me every step of the way. I have never in my life met a person who was truly there for a patient like Dr. Polun. So if you're looking for the guy you've found him. Also it helps that he has all the latest tech, clean office, and nice staff. I like to say if he's good enough for Michael Jordan he's good enough for me.

Dr. Franklin Polun has been my podiatrist for several years. First, I went to him for toe fungus, which he cured in record time without using expensive treatments not reimbursed by insurance companies. Next, he removed a bone spur from beneath my right large toenail. It was a tricky surgery and Dr. Polun met the unexpected quickly and with great concern. Most recently, he conducted surgery to repair a serious oblique fracture to my fifth metatarsal. The repair work was accomplished flawlessly. He also worked closely with physical therapists to ensure that I would be able to walk without a limp and administered cortisone injections and laser treatments to completely eliminate residual pain. Throughout, he listened to my concerns and reacted quickly and effectively to relieve them. I recommend Dr. Polun unreservedly.

Dr. Polun is THE BEST OF THE BEST. I have seen many other doctors to compare him to and he is in a class by himself. He is smart, an excellent diagnostician, and he conducts surgery in a painless, efficient way to insure the best result for his patients. My experience with Dr. Polun was nothing short of outstanding, and I would recommend him for anyone with a foot and/or ankle problem.
