Very relieved nothing is seriously wrong with my eyes. He explained everything to me.
Knowledgeable and patient friendly
Explains things well, willing to take the time to discuss and plan ahead. The entire Ocala Eye staff is very professional.
He gave me my eye sight. This is when I was told by other doctors it was not going to achieve.
Dr Polack was very thorough and took the time to answer my questions and answer all my questions. Thank you Dr Polack
Very patient and explained everything so I was able to understand.
I have total confidence in Dr. Polack's treatment.
Dr Polack even called me in the evening after surgery to see if I was doing all right. He cared about how I was doing.
This was my first visit. All I can say is outstanding. Very efficient.
I just wishe he had spent a few more minutes with me to answer questions. I think he is an excellent doctor. A little dry, but good at what he does. I would recommend him to a friend
