Dr. Polatsch and his office were really helpful from the scheduling to the ease of appointment, especially with all that is going on around COVID. The hospital is completely COVID free so I felt comfortable receiving the care I needed. Dr. Polatsch was able to meet with me promptly and effective explained what was going on and course of treatment in a way I understood.

I recently brought my son to see Dr. Polatsch after he broke his pinky finger playing basketball. Dr. Polatsch was extremely patient and answered all of our questions. He spent a lot of time with us and was so great with my son as well. I was so impressed with his knowledge, bedside manner, and professionalism. His office staff was great too.

Dr. Polatsch is the best. I had seen several hand doctors and was most impressed with him and his staff. The office is beautiful and the staff are extremely friendly. I had to wait about 20 minutes to see him but it was well worth the wait. He quickly diagnosed my problem. He offered an injection and told me that’s what he would do if it was his family member and told me it should cure the problem in about 75% or people. 2-3 weeks later I was pain free and have remained pain free ever since then. I can’t believe that the oth... read more

Three weeks ago my 18 year old son had a severe injury that required emergency attention. My wife, my son and I could not be more thankful that Dr Polatsch made time for us on short notice. Time was of the essence and we were all very emotional and scared. Immediately we knew we were in the right place and being cared for by one of the very best doctors in the world. Dr Polatsch is an amazing hand/wrist specialist, but an even better person. He has followed up with us many times outside of office visits, including while on v... read more

Dr. Polatsch is one of the most incredible doctors I have ever encountered and is clearly the best of the best. I was not pleased to learn I needed surgery (distal radius fracture) but after moving past that, Dr. Polatsch told me I could see a full recovery in 3-4 months if I stuck with my rehab. He reiterated that if I was rigorous in my rehab, keep my fingers moving post surgery and my hand active after the cast came off that I could speed up the recovery even further. I took his advice to

I was sent to him by three people but he terrified me when he told me that I needed an operation on four fingers or I would be “crippled” and he couldnt then help me. He made me a splint so uncomfortable that my hand, which didn’t hurt when I went to see him, began hurting terribly. I also asked to get a referral to pt but he said no. I got a second opinion from a more seasoned hand surgeon who told me that I am not nearly at the point of requiring surgery and that they were many Other options.

Dr. Polatsch is not the best hand doctor/surgeon. He is the BEST of the best! Period. I had "trigger finger" symptoms and went to one of the best NYU Langone hand doctors whom I visited twice but my fingers continue to worsen. I decided to visit Dr. Polatsch and he did exactly the same procedure (injections) as the doctor at NYU Langone but slightly differently in terms of which spots of the fingers were injected. I took note of that and the difference with the NYU Langone treatment. Withi
