Dr. Jim Polakof has been a fountain of good advice for my plastic surgery practice. Not only has he been accurate in his diagnosis of the weaknesses, but he has been most helpful in implementing the cures for these ailments. His follow through has been timely and diligent.

Dr. James Polakof and his HMA staff have effectively coordinated our practice marketing for the past year. During this period of time they have created an excellent new website for my practice. Due to their productive SEO and Social Media efforts, each month inquiries from prospective aesthetic patients continue to grow. The first of our seminar series conducted by Dr. James Polakof was a huge success. Over 300 prospective patients attended filling the Mission Inn to capacity. Additionally, Jim produced a superior video presentation, including patient testimonials, which has become a strong marketing tool for my practice. Dr. James Polakof has been a trusted, dependable consultant providing sound, timely advice.
