Dr. Pollak diagnosed my pain issues in one visit. I was having knee & hip pain but Dr. Pollak showed me it was coming from my foot & ankle. I had "foot-drop" of about 3/4" that was causing equal strain of about 1/2" on my knees & hip. He said this was "referred" pain. He injected my left foot & ankle with a treatment he called"prolotherapy". Within 3 days my foot & ankle strengthened like it was when I was 25-30 years old. I'm 56. I was so happy I went back & had the other foot & ankle done. Dr. Pollak is the most caring physician I ever saw. Lou G. Jacksonville, FL

I had sciatica due to instability of my pelvic connective tissue. After a series of injection into those tissues this doctor made such a difference in my quality of life. I highly recommend him for back pain and other issues. He is compassionate and highly knowledgeable in his area of expertise. There is NO NEED to be in pain! Go to Dr. Pollack!

Helped me not only physically, but with the mental duress of a failed back surgery. Helped me arrive at the decision to have a second surgery which has been successful.

Dr Pollak is the only doctor we would ever go to! He has helped us with our pain by using our own Stem Cells and Prolotherapy applied to the areas of our pain. We went to three other doctors-All of them said surgery was our only option! WRONG! We heard of Dr. Pollak from a neighbor. He did treated the areas of pain with our own stem cells and Prolotherapy which is called Reconstructive Theory. He did not take our insurance, but we we happy to pay anything to get out of our horrible pain! Dr. Pollak is A TRUE NATURAL HEALER! JUST GO! His own personal history is an amazing story, too!
