I was referred to see neurosurgeon - someone suggested Dr. Polinsky. I've tried to see him, you will get a nurse. He doesn't have time to for patients. It is mandated to have myelogram prior to see Dr. Polinsky. For those of you that don't know what a myelogram is, it really is an invasive procedure. Google it before wasting time to get appointment. They were provided with MRI and CT Scans - which I believe were not reviewed by physician. I would say find a doctor that has time. Never met the Dr. Polinsky.

I had the pleasure of having two brain surgeries with Dr Polinsky. What a compassionate and kind surgeon . He was very personal with all my family members and explained everything so well . Please consider him if you need a surgeon , you won't be sorry .

Saw Dr. Polinksy as a second opinion, and really left feeling like I had inconvenienced him. He was abrupt, cut me off, questioned my complaints (which have lasted over ten years), insulted my referring physician, and sent me home with nothing, other than saying to call back if I wanted pain meds. What?!!

Dr. Polinsky was amazing with my mom, and my family. His knowledge, compassion, and expertise were above and beyond what we could have hoped for in a doctor. I couldn't be more grateful that he was part of her care.

Dr. Polinsky is one of only a handful of doctors I have seen, and I have seen many, who cared enough to dig deeper and get to the bottom of the problem. He is an excellent physician.
