Rushed appointment. Did not address our concerns
Reviewed On Vitals
Does not take concerns seriously

Was very hopeful at first since I saw so many good reviews and he came so highly recommended. Sadly he spent very little time with us, did not bother to ask my name and barely introduced himself, wrote more things in his post-visit note than he actually spoke to us about, did not even say goodbye when he left the room, and has not been accessible following when we have questions.

My son Elliot had a complete spinal fusion due to 80 degree twisting curve from cerebral palsy. First surgery was 9 hours, second, a week later was 12 hours. It has been over 10 years since surgery and Dr Policy remains the best Dr my son has ever seen. Compassionate, through and talented. I would not give a better recommendation! Loved him!

The most thing that is memorable about this doctor is that he really cares about his patients, always on time, helpful, always willing to help. I had James for ten years as a doctor at children's hospital in Oakland. He did the surgery on my spinal and he did a wonderful job. I will never forget what I went through, but now I don't have any problem and my spinal never hurts since that big surgery I had at age 12 and now I'm 25 years old going to University College. I would really recommend him to all the kids that need an Orthopedics doctor:) THIS IS THE BEST DOCTOR!!!!!!

Best doctor for Orthopedic I ever had.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Policy. My daughter shattered her elbow and was referred to Children's Hospital Orthopedic Dept because of the severity of the break. Dr Policy performed a difficult surgery to reconstruct her elbow and I feel he did a great job. Her scar looks better than expected and her arm has healed nicely. He's a caring man who takes time to answer your questions to your satisfaction. I would recommend him to anybody.

I have been taking my daughter to Dr Policy since she was diagnosed with scoliosis. He has been great and my daughter really likes him. The results have been fabulous.

We've been with Dr Policy since our daughter was 3 months old and she's now 8. He's SOOO very good with her and with us. You can't get better anywhere!

Our child has a complex congenital spinal condition. Dr. Policy performed surgery and we have been regretting that decision ever since. There were a number of complications for which there are ongoing problems. Our child should have been referred to a center with surgeons having more experience with our child's condition. Dr. Policy's plans kept changing and follow up was poor. Would advise parents to seek care elsewhere particularly if surgery is planned.

The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals. The analysis algorithm uses the compiled data of average score, recency of reviews, number of reviews, and the sentiment expressed in the written comments. It then assigns weight to each parameter based on the available research on how consumers use reviews in their doctor selection process. This report is designed to help identify the doctors with the best overall review score in an area and does not reflect the doctors' competence.
