My husband had an echo and lab work ordered by one of Dr. Polin ‘s interns. He nor she never called him back with the results and within a week ended up in CICU with extremely low sodium which caused him to have muscle cramps and extreme confusion and he was near seizures. I didn’t like the fact that no one ever checked his test that they ordered.

Each and every encounter with Dr. Polin has been a positive experience. She explains everything in terms that I can understand. She is patient and kind and very understanding for a HEART DR. Since having her as my physician I no longer dread my visits.
