Having been a longtime patient with Ocala Eye, I was prepared for a high level professional excellence. Dr. Polack exceeded my expectations for this surgery, from the first consultation until the final appointment. He took the time to explain the procedure, provided detailed information to all of my questions, sending additional information home to read in advance, as well as recuperating instructions. Dr. Polack is a consummate, skilled professional! Everyone on his team follows his example.
