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
Love Dr. Polesin…I think she is really good at what she does. Her assistant, Joanna, really went out of her way to deal with a changeover in my insurance that threatened to scuttle my procedure. My knee is better for the experieShow morence and I look forward to being treated by NJ Pain Management as I ease into old age. I took away one star because I consistently wait over an hour past my appointment time to see the Dr. I’m ok with waiting because I feel like she spends the amount of time needed to treat her patients; and that often doesn’t fit into a tidy 20 min slot. And I, like everyone else, benefit from that. But it’s still a pain. And could be rectified somewhat if they just scheduled every visit in 30 increments.

The staff and Dr. Alexa Polesin were extremely through and listened to what my situation is and are willing to help. Hopefully I can get some relief soon, from our plan of treatment which we decided.
Answered questions. Advised. Like it better than coming in to the office.
Dr Polesin is excellent. She explained all my questions thoroughly. She took as much time as I needed. I saw Dr Polison treated me for my knee problem/pain and I am now free from my knee pain. Years ago, Dr Polesin also treated me for back pain due to herniated discs. I highly recommend Dr Polesin.
My experience with Dr. polsin is very positive. She is compassionate, kind and professional.

Outstanding doctor
Dr Polesin is very competent and personable. She takes the time to explain my condition and path forward to help me. I left her office feeling optimistic. I highly recommend her.
Dr Polesin carefully explained all the options for my back.
It was fine. I unfortunately left without post procedure instructions
I’m recovering from a longtime rotator cuff injury in which Dr. Alena Polesin has been helping me with. She is very experienced and knowledgeable!
Very detailed description and analysis of my underlying symptoms that brought clarity to my suffering and pain. Hopefully treatments will allow me more freedom of motion with less chronic pain.
The best! I am so grateful to have found Dr. Polesin! She always helps me feel better! She is so kind and gentle.
Dr. Polesin listened carefully and heard everything I had to say. She was thorough and took her time understanding what I was experiencing. I have a treatment plan and will be moving forward with her.
Great
Dr Polesin is a great physician. She has been my dr for many years. She takes the time to listen and is very knowledgeable and patient.
I saw Dr. Polesin for muscle cramps that are debilitating. She spent time explaining my MRI to me and we discussed my exercise routine which may be causing the spasms. She gave me things I could do at home to prevent the spasms and let me know that if I needed something more drastic, like an injection, she'd take me during office hours and resolve the situation even if she was busy with other patients. She's very knowledgeable and has a lovely, understanding personality.
