Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding!
I was very impressed with Dr. Polin from the start of the visit. I was nervous about the EMG test being painful but he put my mind at ease. His demeanor is calm, honest and reassuring. I enjoyed the conversation we had during the process and it kept my mind off of the procedure being done to my foot. A very down to earth doctor!

My EMG with Dr. Polin
Dr. Polin was very professional and thorough as he carried out all of his tests, yet always concerned with my wellbeing. I am very satisfied with his performance. It was on the highest level, which I have come to expect from orthopedic Associates.

Dr. Polin was extremely patient, professional and kind. I came to my appointment with a high level of anxiety due to the type of test I was having (EMG). Dr. Polin's approach was calming and reassuring. I appreciated his demeanor and knowledge regarding the test. I would definitely recommend and return to Dr. Polin with confidence.

I have been dealing with low back injury/pain for 18 yrs. using All therapies/surgeries (even med. marijuana/No help w/pain). Used oral Opiods which help give me a livable life until gov’t involvement to reduce/remove for treatment. I had a Neuro Stimulator implant and did not help w/pain, then had an Infusion Pain Pump implant(6weeks lay in bed w/spinal leak headaches)at Wellspan. I then developed chronic side effects from morphine pump: R/L leg/foot edema & histamine sinus/head congestion w/residual headaches from spinal leak. I was referred to Dr. Polin by Lancaster Neuroscience and he has been very helpful trying to resolve my health issues and found his experience/training very good.
