Dr. Polack had been my Dr. and my extended families doctor for almost 40 years. He was the best Dr I have ever had. He always made time to talk to you in his office and gave the best advise. When he retired I made a point of making an appointment just to say goodbye and that I would miss him.

Dr. Polack has been my doctor for over 35 years. I believe, I may have been one of his very first patients in his practice. He amazes me, how he always has time to discuss questions and concerns. I have never had a doctor who is willing to see you at home, in his office after hours and weekends, when you have a problem or concern. He truly is the best. He has looked after EVERY member of my extended and immediate family. No one works harder them him. It will be a sad day when he retires.

I went to him because I had lumps on my cervix. He actually LAUGHED and said that I couldn't possibly know where my cervix was! I assured him, as a woman, I know very well where my cervix is and I noted a change and wanted it checked out. He seemed overly concerned with how I discovered the lumps, and refused to even do a pap smear! He said the lumps were probably caused during rough sex (!)but when I insisted on a pelvic exam, he did it grudgingly as if I was wasting his time. He then did a pap and I heard nothing more. I switched doctors at this point, as I felt him to be rude and condescending towards me because I was a young woman. My new doctor repeated the pap, did notice some abnormal cells and recommended keeping a close eye with paps every 6 months. I ended up with a total hysterectomy at age 32 (pre cancer cells, possibly from HPV?). Anyway, good thing I switched to a more female-issue-friendly doctor who addressed my concerns rather than laughing at me!

Dr. Polack is an excellent GP. He is knowledgeable, courteous and open to referals when a specialist is required. His staff are rude and seem to work very limited hours.

One of the best family physicians in Edmonton. I have been seeing him since I was a teen. As a health professional myself I have not come across a more dedicated caring physician. My family will be sad when he decides to retire!
