I don't like dentists, but I LOOOOVE Dr. Polintan. My visits with Dr. Polintan have made my world of teeth rock. I actually don't mind getting a cavity, going in for a cleaning, getting a molar removed. I'm not kidding. And get this, I use to want as much novocaine as possible when I saw a dentist, an ambien, a shot of whiskey...Dr Polintan is sooo good, she convinced me NOT to get anesthesia to tend to a cavity in a back molar. First time in my life, but she tended to me with CARE, confidence and was INCREDIBLY GENTLE and sensitive to how I felt. I recommended her to a friend who is very particular with dentists, now she's the only one she sees and we both live in Manhattan! So we have to take a train to see her! I should've written this much sooner as I've been a patient of hers for over 10 years....and her staff is the nicest and sweetest. I wish I could've given her 10 stars! read more
