Best care I have had in weeks of not feeling well !!!
Doctor Pontari is a outstanding, respectful and caring Doctor. I pray he doesn't leave like my other doctors. [...]
I called the office with a question, but got voicemail. I NEVER got a call back. I had to call again, and THEN got them to acknowledge my question, for which Dr. Pontari called me to answer the question.
the provider had an excellent understanding of my health problem
I have been Dr. Pontari's patient for many years and, for my problems, he is outstanding. [...]
Dr. Pontari goes out of his way to explain things. I think highly of him. Plus he calls you back.
