Poelstra Kornelis MD

Patient 3 Percent

Well-organized staff, inside the office and at the hospital prior to surgery. Unfortunately, my surgery was about 9 months ago, and I still have the same symptoms. I was told by the PA and Dr. Poelstra that he had a 97 percent success rate on my type of surgery. Apparently, I am in the 3-percent category. When I met with PA and told him I had the same painful situation as I did prior to surgery, he literally just shrugged his shoulders and suggested nerve induction testing. Kinda a bummer there.

After my surgery I suffered from sever right leg pain. Dr. Poelstra gave me steroids intravenously which totally stopped my pain. So, he sent me home with a prescription for steroids. After a day or relief from the hospital I started the prescription. It did nothing. I could hardly walk. The his PA suggested a pain shot which did nothing. Since then I haven't been able to see Polestra and I am still in pain. So far my comments aren't shown and I get nothing from his office.

Dr. Poelstra and his team are AMAZING. From first visit to post surgical follow-up they are the best. I'm considered a complicated patient, due to multiple transplants some docs are hesitant to treat me. Dr. Poelstra did not blink, he did the decompression surgery, the result 13 years of pain gone! Anna his PA and Lara the coordinator along with the rest of the team at the office and Hospital are absolutely the best! I will recommend Dr. Poelstra without hesitation to anyone!

I would definitely recommend Dr. Polestra to family and friends. Dr. Polestra is the best back surgeon I've ever encountered. Dr. Polestra fixed my severe back pain without attaching any hardware. During my first visit, it was obvious he was very knowledgeable and experienced. He explained my diagnoses and prognosis in simple terms for my simple mind. After the surgery, his explanations came to fruition without any problems. Outstanding!!!!!

I am a 43 yr old male, active duty military (USN), active life (mostly), that was diagnosed with 4 levels of disc degenerative disease in the lumbar spine back in 2003. I've had multiple pain management treatments over the years; most recently steroid injections that untouched the pain and symptoms radiating to both heals/feet. I had surgery Mar 2nd and have not looked back! Dr Poelstra is amazing and his support staff at Sacred Heart-Destin is amazing as well. I've never been so pleased.

I am a local physician. I've worked in the local area for over a decade and I chose KP to do the surgery on my own back. He fixed me up and I was back at work 10 days after the surgery (lumbar decompression). This guy is awesome.

Dr. Poles tea takes time to explain everything. His surgery relieved my wife from years of back pain.

Excellence in the superlative. Dr. Poelstra was fantastic. I am 72 years old and in all my years I have never had a Doctor that exudes so much confidence that he will make you well. His genuine care and concern for his patient is amazing and I thank him so much for delivering me from excruciating pain.
