I’ve needed a bunionectomy for many years and I’m glad I finally chose to have the surgery. Dr. Polun was highly recommended to me and I’m glad I chose to have him do it. Dr. Polun is very experienced in Lapiplasty and it’s clear how much he loves his job in helping his patients live a better quality of life. While it’s been a long recovery process, I’m glad I chose Dr. Polun as my surgeon and fully intend to have him operate on my other foot. Also, his staff are personable and efficient and I typically have a short wait before seeing the doctor.

Thank you for the excellent care you provided when I presented with neuropathy in both of my lower legs. The cold laser therapy MLS treatments helped tremendously. I appreciate the time you spent taking my history. You and your staff were caring, listened carefully and provided some of the best treatment by physician I've received in decades. Thanks to you, I was able to get relief despite all other treatments failing. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to come to you. Your years in practice and continuing education impress me with your great knowledge and being able to treat a very frustrating condition.

I am a 75 yo woman who has dealt with painful bunions for 40 years. I was concerned about surgery at my age, but my bunions were getting worse. Dr Polun explained the procedures thoroughly and remained accessible throughout the entire process. I could not be happier with the results. The surgery and recovery process was much easier than anticipated and I look forward to walking and hiking again. I would also like to commend the entire office staff, who were pleasant, helpful and professional.

When considering a lapiplasty procedure look no further than Dr. Franklin Polun. U tube will give you information as to what the procedure entails. It does not tell how this specialist cares for his clients. This is a unforgettable experience. Dr. Polun's staff is amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The surgical coordinator was able to tell me step by step what to expect during the surgery. Dr. Polun's care for his clients is unmatched. He chooses the hospital he feels gives the best care for the surgery. I received a personal thank you note from Dr. Polun along with an xray picture of his completed work. Can you image him thanking me for letting him perform the surgery. Each and every member of staff who participated in the surgery signed their names in a thank you note. I still have those notes. Before the surgery l was given a list of medications for blood thinner to avoid blood clots, antibiotics, plus medication to avoid infection, as well as and assortment of medications for pain. I went home in a walker and a soft shoe. A week later l went to his office for a foot to knee hard cast ( l got to choose the color of my cast). Two weeks after that l was put into a futuristic booth that got a lot of attention at physical therapy. Dr. Polun was attentive to pain management, then there were xrays and more xrays double and triple testing his work. Surgery is painful, but the care he gave made me look forward doctor visits. This was by far the best treatment l've every received for a surgical procedure. Dr.Polun is simply the best.

Dr. Polun and the entire staff at both offices (D.C. and Potomac) are professional, highly competent, caring and engaging. My immediate trust in Dr. Polun was well-founded. His attention to detail from pre-op to post-op was impeccable. Dr. Polun left no "stone unturned" to ensure that my surgical outcome would be successful. His office is "state of the art" and very comfortable.

This was a post-op visit and all was well so I am now wearing a walking boot instead of a cast. Great!!

I needed to see a doctor quickly as I was in considerable pain when walking as a result of a toe injury. I was leaving that same afternoon for extended travel overseas so called my “damnfoothurts” that morning to try to get in to see a doctor immediately. (I had been a patient previously.) The assistant who answered the phone was so polite, welcoming and attentive to my problem. She said that she would make sure the doctor saw me as soon as I came into the office that morning. I saw Dr. Engorn and he and the entire staff were terrific in every regard - professionally and personally. They took x-rays and treated my dislocated toe immediately. I went off on my travel with both confidence and very little lingering pain. The entire staff was amazing. Bravo!

Oh my goodness, this is going to be such an easy review for me to write, because I truly believe in Dr. Polun. I went in with a broken ankle and breaks in my foot. I’m not a medically minded person, he was able to explain the brakes and options for treatment in a very elemental way so I could fully understand and make the best decision on going forward with the treatment. When Dr. Polun speaks to you, it’s like you are the only person in the office, his entire focus for that time is on you and you definitely feel his sincere care for you. He even emailed me the next day asking how I slept in the new night boot because the day before I had expressed my concern with how heavy the walking boot was to sleep in…who does that?!? Only Dr. Polun has ever done that with me. He and his staff deserve 11 stars, but I can only give them 5. If you need a doctor, I give my highest recommendation.
