Pacific Palisades optometrist Dr. Gary D. Polan reported that his office reopened on Thursday, April 24.
Located at 970 Monument Street in Suite 102, Polan said the space has been “completely remediated,” and has passed all air quality and mold tests after suffering water damage, Polan explained to the Palisadian-Post.
Polan said the office is entirely staffed and fully serviced.
“My entire staff was employed the entire time we were off,” Polan explained. “We spent our time fulfilling spectacle and contact lens orders for the people who lost those items in the fires.”
Polan said the response to the office’s reopening has been “awesome,” and the office is booked out a month in advance.
“I feel that reopening here gives our community hope and the beginning of a small sense of normalcy,” Polan said. “This is the town where I lived and built my practice from scratch 40 years ago. I never thought of moving my practice elsewhere … The Palisades has supported me all this time, and my gratitude is absolutely sincere.”
The office is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
