Dr. Polakoff and his office staff are like family and it feels like a traditional neighborhood practice.  He helped me through a series of eye infections and issues with my contact lenses. When I was becoming brand sensitive to contact lenses, he gave me a brand to try and had me come back to switch to another brand until we got it right.  They are always able to get me in on an emergency basis and always on time. The staff is diligent in making sure my next appointment falls within insurance coverage windows.  They are patient in working me to find new glasses styles too.
