Meet Our Physician
Our physician, Dr. Pollycove, is passionate about providing her patients with highly individualized care in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Just as one size clothing does not fit all, what is optimal for each woman depends upon many personal factors. While Dr. Pollycove places great importance on technical excellence, she also combines compassionate listening with discussing cutting edge medical or surgical options with patients. Her wealth of experience in medicine and surgery allow her to integrate the complex, evolving medical literature in every woman’s unique best interests and care. Her broad and deep background in both the science and art of health care reflects these values.
