Dr. Polatsch is amazing. I fractured my elbow in several places and two doctors would not operate on me because they were not sure how to fix this unusual fracture. Dr. P explained everything to me and performed the surgery without a problem. The hospital was great also. I was a little worried because I did not know about Beth Israel but my experience was fantastic. It has been 2 months now and I am doing so well. I have no pain and almost have my motion back. Thank you Dr. Polatsch, and also Dr. Stein for referring me to this wonderful hand surgeon.
