Dr. Noha Polack graduated from high school at Holy Rosary Academy in Union City, NJ and then went on to get a bachelor's degree from Rutgers University in Biological Sciences. She received her medical degree from UMDNJ (now Rutgers Medical School) in Newark, NJ. She completed her training in pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, NY.
Dr. Polack has been practicing pediatrics in Union City and Bayonne, New Jersey since 1996, most of those years at Progressive Pediatrics. She was the first doctor in her extended family and then the flood gates opened, now has 5 cousins in the medical profession. Dr. Polack has two children, both of whom attended public school in New Jersey and are now adults getting their undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Dr. Polack loves pediatrics because one can make a difference in a young person's life that will last a lifetime. She is most passionate about advocating for healthy living in pre-teens and teens and helping them love their body. Working on their mindset as well as their habits is her way of making a difference in the world. She speaks to all professionals who encounter this age group as well as parents to help them use the right language to communicate about health rather than weight.
