He did a robotic surgery on my back. when I spoke to him the first time, I had so much pain that no medication could help. After surgery, I started to walk the next day, went to work on day 3 (he told me to rest at home but I didn't listen!!!?? sh...sh don't tell him I did) I am happy with my choice of doctors Dr. Grover and Dr. Poelstra.

Spine surgeon extraordinaire! Ensures that he does exactly what is needed, no more, no less. Lays out the facts, the options, and then lets you decide on how to proceed. No surgeon can foresee the end result, but his confidence and especially his bedside manner put you at ease in making the correct surgical decision. Friday, one week prior to scheduled surgery, I spoke of the last five weeks of horrible unrelated medical issues. Asked if I wanted to move surgery up three days and I gladly accepted. Flexible.

I traveled from Denver, Colorado to Las Vegas specifically for back surgery by Dr Kornelis Polestar. His Robotic Assisted methodology is unique and has no equal in outcomes. I have 3 brothers, all had multiple back surgeries. The oldest was operated on by Dr Poelstra. He has no pain and lives a normal life; other Brother is wheel chair bound, no pain. 3rd Brother passed away 2 months post (3rd) surgery. I researched Dr Poelstra, viewed several YouTube presentations and was impressed by the Robotic Assisted methodology he dev... read more

Prior to moving to Las Vegas, I lived in the Dallas, TX area. While there, I was diagnosed with degenerative disks in my neck and would need repair. My surgeon in Texas is recognized as one of the best. The surgery was postponed due to Covid. Almost two years later, I was experiencing the same symptoms. I called my Dallas surgeon and he suggested I see Dr. Poelstra and nobody else. (Allegiant Nevada Spine Clinic). I visited Dr. Poelstra and learned that surgery was necessary due to the progression of my issues. I am so glad ... read more

Dr Poelstra and his assistant Jodi are both very skilled at their jobs. They are thorough in their care for their patients from time you first meet with them through out your total care. When I first met them I could barely walk. One month after surgery and I am now walking again without pain. I am forever grateful for the care and support they gave me. Carolyn Furlow

An added bonus was the surgery took place next door in their Surgery Center, very convenient. I can't say enough about their team as well. Thank you once again for making the entire procedure as seemless as possible. I just returned from my two week follow up with Dr. Poelstra and he is as happy with the surgery and healing process as I am. Can't say enough how nice it is to be pain free and can't say enough about Dr. Carr's referral of Dr. Poelstra. I am fortunate to have met both of these very talented and professional sur... read more

Business response:

Thank you so much for your impressions. I was so excited to be able to help you with such a tough problem, referred to me from another orthopedic surgeon who had a similar problem in the past. Excellent job and great attitude towards all of us. Much appreciated!!

Dr, Poelstra needs to understand if a patient has other medical issues he should take the whole person under advisement before doing any sur 

Business response:

I am glad we had a good conversation about this on the phone the other day. I am equally pleased that you remember now that without the operation you would have not been able to walk, and that we carefully went over risks and benefits preoperatively before you decided to have the operation. Glad things are so much better now!! Godspeed with your recovery, and looking forward to seeing you back in clinic!
