I am forever thankful for Dr.Poliakin and her staff- I feel so fortunate they were there (and…read morebelieved me) in my time of need. Cliffnotes version: -Go to ER at 1am for abdominal pain. Ultrasound confirms gallstones and liver enzymes are slightly elevated. They send me home with a referral to follow up with a general surgeon and painkillers. - Next day: call referral for general surgeon (Dr.Andrew Luckey) who doesn't see outpatient so was a bit confused- he only sees you if you had surgery in the hospital. The next opening they had was in a week but they were going to try and squeeze me in. They did call me back and were able to get me an appt however I was already on the way back to the ER because I didn't feel I could make it a week. -ER round 2- get a dragon of a NP who says they aren't going to admit me for surgery, tells me that's not what I want nor are they going to rerun my labs since I was just there- best she could do is order an CT so I said okay and sat down.Hours go by and it becomes clear to me even with a CT I'm not going to get help here and my only shot at getting support was the surgery referral. Called Dr. Poliakin's office back, tell them the situation, they told me to come over and they will fit me in. Met Dr. Poliakin, she educated me very clearly about what was likely going on, laid out all the options includingthe option to get on her surgery schedule that day. I was terrified but I trusted her completely after meeting her and felt safe in her care. She called the ER and told them to rerun my labs and admit me and thank goodness she did. The labs were 5x what they were and I was on my way to developing jaundice. Got admitted and things moved quite quickly after that. As someone who's never had surgery (aside from dental) in her life, I was absolutely terrified going into this and some tears were shed. While I was in pre-op I got to meet my OR Nurse, anesthesiologist and see Dr. Poliakin again to talk about the developments from the blood work. I had an all female team which felt pretty badass . Dr. Poliakin again was super upfront, educational, straight forward, and compassionate. I knew going into this there was no one else's care I'd rather have been in and went into that OR more relaxed than I ever would have expected possible from myself. I'm now five days post surgery, doing well and I shutter to think what could've happened if it wasn't for Dr. Poliakin and her staff. I wish there were words to convey how thankful I am but thank you just doesn't really cut it. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing general surgery and you're reading this review trying to find some reassurance- just know you're in the best hands and she will take amazing care of you.

He prescribed a paint on prescription for my toe which was worthless and I ordered from Amazon, which worked so much better and it took about seven months but it's all gone. That's really not the really reason for this bad review at the time he told me he could trim my toenails and Medicare would pay for it every two months so I did go back another time two months later for another nail trim then in January I got a bill for $73.56 so I called and was advised that Medicare did not cover the nail trim even though I was told even though I told them that the doctor had told me that Medicare did cover it so I went on bill pay on my bank account and set up a $20 a month auto pay my mistake thinking that I would get another statement from the doctor when I finally got another statement it showed that I owed $33.56 so I paid another $20 and then another $13.56 then just recently, I got another statement from the doctor that showed I as of 7/27/26 and I still owed them 20 more dollars which made me go to my bank account to see just how much I had already paid them. I paid them to this date $133.56. Needless to say I made a phone call to the doctor's office and they told me that the records didn't reflect that I had to bring in into the office my records to show them so she made copies of my records and she said she would let me know poor customer service

Over time I started to realize I wanted a bit more and Dr. Zol and his team were very patient and accommodating as I worked through my process.

Their instructions and everything around recovery has been so much smoother than I could have anticipated. They offer so much support before and after. I'm so happy with my results, going from a DDD or maybe even E to fully flat and more masculinized chest has changed my life. I am so happy. I'm so grateful to Zol and his team. Sunshine the coordinator and Britt post op have helped me immensely along the journey. You guys are the BEST. I can't wait to be healed up and back to my normal life.

I am honestly very hurt about this I drove over two hours to get there I know several people who have went to the krygers a few being trans so I didn't think that I was being discriminated against but as I pondered on the conversation after I realized that I was probably treated unfairly... not only did the office manager not confirm my appointment that I agreed to wait for (a year later) but then she also referred me to a way less experience doctor ...

My experience with the surgery coordinator, Cecilia Contreras, was very disappointing…read more I contacted the office after receiving approval for my second inguinal hernia surgery authorization to understand the next steps in the process. When I originally met with the office, I was told that if I was busy, I could schedule the surgery later and that I had flexibility regarding the timing. I also experienced difficulty reaching Cecilia directly. On multiple occasions when I called the office, she was unavailable, which made it challenging to get timely information and assistance regarding my care. For that reason, I was surprised by the way I was treated during my recent phone call. Instead of receiving guidance and support, I felt blamed for not scheduling the surgery sooner. Patients may have personal, family, work, financial, or health-related reasons for postponing a procedure, and I felt those circumstances were not taken into consideration. What concerned me most was the tone of the conversation. I felt that Cecilia Contreras was rude, dismissive, unprofessional, and unnecessarily confrontational. As someone whose primary language is not English, I was doing my best to communicate and understand the process. Rather than helping clarify the situation, the conversation left me feeling uncomfortable, pressured, and discouraged from asking questions. I was told that if I planned to continue with the office, I needed to schedule the surgery, and if not, I should say so immediately. This felt more like pressure than patient care, especially considering that I had previously been told I could schedule the procedure when my circumstances allowed. Communication was often incomplete. For example, when my follow-up appointment was scheduled, I was given the date but not the time and had to ask for it separately. The call also ended abruptly without the level of courtesy and professionalism that patients should expect from a medical office. Scheduling surgery is a significant medical decision, and patients deserve to be treated with respect, professionalism, and understanding. Unfortunately, this interaction caused me to lose confidence in moving forward with this office, and I have decided to seek care elsewhere. I hope the clinic reviews how patients are treated and improves communication with future patients.

Dr. Grigoryan is helping me deal with issues which have arisen with one knee and the opposite hip. I had seen him many years ago when one of the other doctors in the this office suite wasn't available. At the time, I didn't bond with Dr. Grigoryan. My husband is a consistent patient of that other doctor, so my experiences had with mostly been with the other physician. When I needed help again with my knee, the scheduler didn't have an appointment for many weeks for Dear Hubby's doctor. Dr. G's schedule was more flexible, so I took the sooner appointment. This time, it's been a great fit. I find Dr. G to be very kind and thorough in listening, explaining, and providing appropriate treatment options based on my current condition. I like his soft-spoken manner and the gentleness he uses when administering shots. We are focusing on keeping me going without surgery for a long as it makes sense to do so. His supporting staff have been very helpful in getting appointments scheduled, and medical records corralled to share with other providers. My knee is feeling better just now as I go through a series of shots. My hip is holding its own. The lower back; that's a different issue, and they've referred me to a pain management doctor to see about that situation. What fun!
