Had first appt. With Dr Poelstra. He took a lot of time explaining my condition and what he could do to remedy. It’s completely understandable why he sometimes runs late. I appreciate his calm and reassuring manner and look forward to finally getting rid of this back pain. His nurses were very kind as well.

My wife has had a double neck surgery and now is preparing for double back surgery. Her neck surgery went great and her recovery is amazing. No other surgeon would even attempt her back but Dr. Poelstra is ready. After discussing the procedure with him we felt he was highly qualified and competent in performing the surgery she needed. Also everyone you meet gives you the positive support you need. We cannot say enough good things about this surgeon and his support staff. Anyone needing neck or back surgery please contact his... read more

Dr. Poelstra did not show up for a preop consult appointment that I drove across town for and his office staff did not bother to notify me he had called out that day. So I postponed my surgery another week while on pain meds just to have this exact thing happen again. Only after waiting in his lobby for 30 minutes I asked what the delay was and they said the Dr. wasn't even there AGAIN and the office staff were rude and unapologetic. I thought that with all his good reviews I would be having him do my surgery but I would nev... read more

Dr. Poelstra has to be one of the best in his profession. If you are looking for a doctor that is upfront, honest and explains things in layman’s terms then he is the one! He is a master of his trade. I feel so very fortunate to have been referred to him. Doctor, my Husband and I will be forever grateful for your care.

Thanks to this wonderful surgeon, I have my husband back. My husband started falling and was unable to control his balance. We had more visits to the ER by ambulance being told nothing was wrong. Then my husband had another episode and I brought him to Southern Hills Hospital. Best move we ever made. They diligently worked to find the reason why a healthy man was experiencing these life altering episodes. That is where we met Dr. K. Poelstra. ordering a MRI of Neck/Spine and there it was a crack in the neck. As they talked s... read more

I met Dr. Kornelis Poelstra in early 2022. I was loosing my ability to walk or stand for any length of time; also I was loosing strength and dexterity in my arms and hands. I was told by various Drs. I had neuropathy, but never given any treatment plan to reverse the direction of these symtoms. Very frustrating. After several apptmts. & mri's, Dr. (KP) came up with a treatment plan for my symtoms. I was impressed with his ability to explained all of my options and taking all the time I needed with my many questions. The bott... read more

Dr. Poelstra performed decompression surgery on my lower back on 3/15/22. I had severe leg pain in both legs for the last 8 months. I was impressed with Dr. Poelstra from my first appointment, he explained to me exactly what was wrong and how he was going to fix it in terms I understood. He has an exceptional bed side manner and treated my wife and I as if he had known us for years. I know it has been three weeks since my surgery but I have had no complications and I am out of pain. I stopped my pain meds after 4 days. I cal... read more

I had my surgery Nov 3rd, 2021 ACDF C5-C7 and before my surgery was scared to death! Dr Poelstra and staff were there to answer any questions or concerns I had and explained the procedure and recovery process thoroughly. Even though I was still very nervous and who isn't before having a surgery, I knew it was necessary due to being in pain and numbness and tingling down both arms to my fingers. Since surgery I have had no more numbness and tingling! I can actually feel my fingers again! I'm 6 weeks post op as I'm writing thi... read more

I have been working with Dr. Polestra since the beginning of 2021, after working with some doctors in for over 5 years. Yet by August, he was able to do a cervical neck surgery and replace two discs. Then, due to such good recovery, was able to have two more discs replaced in my lower lumbar in October. He and his staff of Dr. Wells and everyone else were AMAZING from day one of our meeting. Now at 50 years of age, I feel I have my life back after years crippling, relentless pain. Truly the only Doctor I have trusted whole h... read more
