Testimonials

I am grateful beyond words to Dr. Richard Polin and all of his assistants including all of the office staff for an excellent and timely response to a meningioma brain tumor that was found on Oct. 1st of this year. My surgical consult was on Oct.5th and my surgery for removal was on Oct. 18th. The tumor was big but Dr. Polin was able to remove it entirely and my stay in the hospital was short, 4 days and 3 nights. My post surgery recovery has been nothing short of miraculous and I am truly thankful to each and every one associated with this practice.

I’m so glad I decided to follow a friend’s recommendation and get a second opinion from Dr. Polin. It’s been almost five years since another surgeon did a fusion on my L5-S1. I’ve been having a lot of sciatic pain from my hip down through my thigh and increasing numbness in my lower leg and foot. Dr. Polin took a lot of time with me and went over my MRI pictures and explained what was going on. He is very different from many Neurosurgeons who only seem to care about money and prestige. Dr. Polin came across as humble and caring as well as very knowledgeable and capable. When the time comes to have another surgery I will definitely go to Dr. Polin and I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Polin knows his field and he’s a true professional with a great bedside manner and he provided OPTIONS!
No one will touch my back in any manner other than Dr Polin. I left after 60 minutes with him and felt educated, relief and excited about my next step.
I like others would recommend Dr. Polin in a heartbeat, he listens!

I recently saw Dr. Polin for a consultation. I have a complex condition and a history of 2 recent neck surgeries performed by other doctors. Dr. Polin had obviously thoroughly gone over all my imaging and records prior to my visit. He was completely prepared to discus my condition and my options. He spent nearly 45 minutes showing my wife and I pre and post surgery imaging. He took the time to explain what he was showing us, what looked wrong, why it was wrong and what the correct course of action would be. Although there is no doubt that surgery would be required to correct the condition I have Dr. Polin explained that due to several factors surgery may not have a favorable outcome. I couldn’t have been given bad news any better. I find it difficult to express how impressed I am with Dr. Polin. He is easy to talk to, he has empathy, is very professional and shows great attention to detail. I hope you don’t have to have see a Neurosurgeon anytime soon. But should the need arise Dr. Polin should be your first call.

I was so impressed how friendly and helpful he was. He listed how he makes decisions and was clear of my choices he offered👍 I have options and am happy with his treatment options. No surgery unless I want but he was clear I may not need it after less invasive avenues explored😻. I would recommend him to anyone facing back problems, without any doubt!
