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.

The Best!
Dr. Polaneczky has been my gynecologist for years. She is extremely thorough and even goes beyond the limits of gynecology, either due to her vast knowledge or by referral. This is so necessary in the current medical system of "fractionated" medical care.

My several visits to Dr. Polaneczky the last 20 years has been not short on of excellent. She was always very clear in explaining to me the reasons for my visits, my checkups, her diagnosis of my checkups, and subsequent follow ups. She has been a great doctor to me and I will miss her very much. I wish her nothing but the best and every success in her future endeavors. Good luck Dr Polaneczky. God bless and thank you for being my doctor. I will miss you. Sincerely, Alba Claudius

Best Gyn doctor
Dr. POLANECZY has been my Gyn doctor for many year - I am fortunate to be her patient. She is such a caring doctor. She always explains the procedure/tests and follows up with a phone call when needed. I trust her very much.
