Dr. Polley and his team are always wonderful to work with as they are kind and friendly. He's done a reverse total shoulder replacement on both shoulders. If the first one hadn't turned out well I would have never let him do the second. I'm so grateful to have a good surgeon here in town.

Was referred in to Dr. Polley by family physician to treat elbow..went well
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/12/2025
He seemed to really care about the pain I was having in my right arm. He had already reviewed the trip I had taken to the emergency room, and had also reviewed mri / cat scan and knew I had a severe pinched nerve in my cervical spine. He believed that's where the pain was radiating from. He scheduled for me to see pain specialist in Louisville to get an injection at the root canal of the nerve and said he would recommend me to an experienced spine dr.
