AMAZING HAND SURGEON! Dr. Polatsch treated me in December 2011 for a severe hand accident I sustained, where my right hand was caught in a door and the skin was removed on the tips of my fingers- with bone exposed and 0 tissue remaining. ER doctors originally told me I would need 2 fingers amputated- I saw Dr. Polatsch as a 2nd opinion. He was able to save my fingers with a Double Thenar Flap Surgery- and 4 months later the average person cannot even tell I had surgery! I have full feeling in both fingers & full use of my ha... read more

Terrific doctor. I had a serious injury to my wrist which was very unusual (as I was told by 2 other wrist surgeons). Dr. Polatsch explained things to me in a language I understand. He was very understanding of my concerns. Surgery went well and I am rehabbing my wrist now. I have almost all of my strength back already and NO PAIN. I am thrilled. He clearly is an expert wrist surgeon.

Staff is rude and they will make you wait for hours. Don't go if you have any other choice. Dr. Is fine if you can see him.

I had pain, tenderness and sensitivity to cold in my right middle finger tip for many years. I finally went to see Dr. Polatsch, who was able to diagnose and treat me accurately. He discovered I had a glomus tumor which he removed with minor surgery. I am now pain free!! Dr. Polatsch is not only knowlegable, but also kind and caring. His follow up care post surgery is impeccable. Highly recommended!

I have waited a little over a year to rate Dr. Polatsch after the surgery he performed on my right wrist because I wanted to see how it would hold up. I'm very pleased to report that I haven't had any problems with my wrist and that if anything it's stronger now than it was prior to my surgery. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Polatsch to anyone I meet that has suffered a similar injury. Thank you Dr. Polatsch for doing such a great job!

DR. Polatsch is awesome. He performed surgery on my wrist due to De Quervain's. I am grateful to him. He is a gifted surgeon.

Dr. Polatsch removed my giant cell tumor of tendon in sheath from my finger. The surgery was a complete success. I felt normal within a day, within two weeks I was unbandaged, and a month later I am good as new. After being wrongly diagnosed by my primary care physician, I found Dr. Polatsch on the internet. He correctly diagnosed the lump in my finger. He and his staff were professional and knowledgeable, and Beth Israel did a good job with the surgery.I highly recommend Dr. Polatsch.

Dr. Polatsch performed Proximal row Carpectomy, Radial styloidectomy and Posterior interosseus nerve excision on my right writst, removing 3 of 9 bones. Surgery become the only option as the pain and discomfort increased and my strength decreased. The condition was caused by an untreated athletic injury many years previous. The hope was for 70% mobility and being able to play golf ago. The recovery was about 2-3 months. I was very consistent with my rehab. The results have been astouding and exceeded my hope.
