Dr. Polster has been our pedestrian for going on 9 years. dr. Polster is,a awesome doctor. I feel comfortable with him and he is extremely educated. He always makes us feel better when we see him for our childrens sick and well visits. Extremely friendly and loves to tell stories and makes the parents feel better helping us make the right decision for our children. I could never ask for a better doctor for our children. Dr Polster has always taken his time answering all my questions and treats my children very well.

Dr. Polster became our pediatrician after our previous doctor left the practice. He takes the time to explain to me what is wrong with my child, why what he has is called what it is and what I need/don't need to worry about. His experience brings me comfort and he can tell just by interacting with my child where he is on a maturity level. I'm glad we were able to switch to him, he's amazing!

Doctor Polster helps my children relax and enjoy their visit to the office. He keeps me calm when there is nothing to worry about and lets me know when there is something to worry about. He spends the time needed to figure out what is wrong an does followup when needed.
