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.

Professional, knowledgeable and took his time to explain and answered my question. Office and staff were great.

Great Doctor
I had Entropion in both upper eye lids and went to see Dr, Polonski to see if he could help me and he did. He did surgery on both of my eyes and now I am fully recovered and not in anymore discomfort. Dr. Polonski has a great staff, and they are all there to help you. No matter what you read in reviews, Dr. Polonski is a great doctor and have no doubts you have chosen the right doctor. Very happy.

Excellent Surgeon
Dr. Polonski is an amazing surgeon! Would greatly recommend him to anyone needing any oculoplastics procedure. Very professional, highly skilled, and very personable! Would never doubt to be worked on by him again! Special thanks to Lourdes for explaining the procedure in my language so I could fully comprehend, very acomodating!

In the summer of 2023, I had cataracts removed and lenses placed inside my eyes. I'd worn glass since I was seven. I was now seventy. For the first time in my life, colors appeared brighter, edges crisper. My world was no longer framed with the rims of my glasses. Dr. Lynn Polonski, my surgeon, was extraordinarily competent and kind. The desk staff, nurses, Surgery Coordinator Ashley, up to the anesthesiologist who told me jokes prior to my treatment were all lovely. I feel deep appreciation for this powerful and positive change in my life from a competent, and caring organization.

Dr. Polanski is an awesome eye doctor. In 2019 performed an evisceration on my right eye. Just recently had issues with a tear in same eye and he has gone above and beyond to make sure the issue is resolved. Very professional and polite. Always answers any questions I have. He also explains in further details anything I am unsure of. I would highly recommend him

Has the most competences of any opthalmologist
Dr Polanski is truly one of the most skilled ophthalmologists and oculoplastics specialists in Tucson and surrounding areas. His experience in diagnosing my complex eye conditions and his explanation of my condition and options helped ease my concerns. I had previously gone to see the only other Oculoplastics specialist in Tucson, and felt like she had total disregard for me. I overheard her talking to staff about RSVP's she had for an upcoming party. Dr Polanski showed compassion and that is why I will not see anyone else for my eye condition.

Buyer beware! Run do not walk to another doctor!!! Huge wait time, he was rude and rushed, did not discuss options for surgery, had people waiting outside the office with not enough places to sit, was very over booked, was rude, wanted only to get the next patient.

Don't ever go to him for eyelid surgery. He is NOT a plastic surgeon and his work proves that. Had to go to another occuloplastic surgeon to fix his work. He also put the wrong lens in my eye after cataract surgery. He is very arrogant and won't listen. Big EGO.

Dr. Polanski just completed my second cataract surgery. My vision has improved significantly. Clearly, Dr. Polanski is a very skilled surgeon. It was a pleasure to work with him, his colleagues and his staff. All groups were very professional and very helpful. I would highly recommend Dr. Polanski and his team.

Dr. Polonski performed a blapherplasty on my eyelids 2 weeks ago. The procedure was simple and without complication. Reducing excess skin in the crease of my upper lids was really not painful at all. The first few days it was important to ice off and on, Now, 2 weeks later, my lids are still pink, but looking better every day. MOST IMPORTANTLY: My peripheral vision is greatly improve, with more light coming into my eye. Thanks, Dr. P!

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Polonski to family and friends my experience with him and his staff has been great. I had the eye lid surgery a year ago Dr. Polonski did a wonderful job I'm very happy with the outcome. Ernesto did all the testing before D. Poloinski saw me he explained what he was doing what the test was for and how it would help them in my eye care. Everyone in Dr. Ploloski's office are friendly, courteous. I never feel rushed when seeing Dr. Polonski :)

I was referred to Dr. Polonski for a tumor that was found located behind my right eye. I was so extremely happy with the care that I have been given by Dr. Polonski and his staff. Having to undergo a tumor removal was one of the most frightening experiences of my life, Dr. Polonski was compassionate, caring and his follow up after my surgery was amazing! He really shows that he cares about the patient and how the patient feels. I could not have asked for a better Dr. My parents were also happy w

Dr Polonski is clinically excellent, as far as I can tell. He performed a surgery that previously, with another doctor, had failed. This time it was a success! On the down side, his communication skills are not very good. He is often brusque and somewhat condescending. In addition, although his staff is very nice, long waits seem to be the norm.
