I’ve seen other chronic pain drs for a decades long shifting cervical spine issue and was very grateful to Dr P on this my first session with her! Very smart, thorough , and thoughtful. She did an intricate physical exam as a paShow morert of her initial diagnosis and ultimate treatment plan. She thinks systemically and is, so far, conservative in her approach as she waits for the results from a new MRI and X-rays in order to take the next step. Very smart and communicative, being honest about damage that likely can’t be undone as well as what she may be able to help it to not continue to worsen. Gave me some trigger point injections for some possible relief this 1st session which at least made me feel she’ll try her best to help. Having years of chronic pain, it was a hands on exam (like a good physical therapist, orthopedist , and pain dr combined) . She left me feeling ‘seen’ and hopefully in good hands! I’d highly recommend her.
I have been to Dr Polesin before and I am VERY pleased with the time she takes to assess the problem and recommended plans of action. I was in first for my hip and after a thorough set of x-rays, scans and an MR, her diagnosis waShow mores hip replacement. We discussed the results in detail and I acted upon the recommendation. My orthopedic did a super job and now I need to address the arthritic pains in my knees. We spent quite a bit of time discussing my options. I never felt rushed and she answered all my questions. I am comfortable with the decision I made regarding helping my knee pain. I would highly recommend her to anyone. In fact I suggested my husband make an appointment with her for his back pain. I am 72 year old

She is the best. She gives each patient the upmost attention and care. She is very personable, professional and thorough.
Pray what we did works
Dr. Polesin is very knowledgeable and personal making it a very comfortable visit.
Dr. Polesin is very knowledgeable, professional and spends time explaining every step of the way.
Everyone who attended me was highly efficient, friendly and helpful. The Dr. is beyond wonderful! She is so bright and accurate.
The care I received from the office of Pain Management is the very height of professionalism. They have an extensive knowledge of all things pain-related, and they exhibited great attention to my individual needs. I recommend this practice, and Dr. Alena Polesin in particular, to anyone experiencing joint pain.
The support staff beginning with scheduling my appointment as a new client, arriving at the appointment the front desk person, the medical assistant and the PA were all kind, caring, giving you their undivided attention & taking as much time as needed to explain your needs & conditions as well as the amazing skill of Dr. Polesin. I have a neurological condition that necessitated being under the care of neurologists for the past 30 years and I have dealt with several but Dr Polesin & her staff are outstanding & patient centric. She immediately relieved my pain with a simple painless procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Polesin & her staff.
Love her and her staff (Joanna)

I don’t usually leave a review but Dr Polensin is an exception. She is a caring friendly doctor with a lot of wisdom and knowledge. I love her energy.
New patient & my 1st impression is thorough, asked questions & listened and explained what was causing my back pain. Most importantly I got some relief today, not on a follow, not after tests, but today.
Very good
Dr. Polesin is very good. She gives plenty of time to listen to the problems you have and then give plenty of time to explain the different options. What to do with your back pain. I highly recommend her.
Amazing doctor Alena Polesin taking care of me for the past 4 years. Can’t ask for a better doctor. Kind, calm and understanding.
Dr. Polesin is an excellent clinician with the most compassionate care that I have ever experienced. Raymond Esteves, RN
I personally have had a great experience with Dr Polesin. I went in for neck & shoulder pain. She listened to my complaints, answered my questions and explained why I was having this pain & then proposed a treatment plan. I would recommend her.
