Patient Comments
Dr. Pontari has been excellent in explaining and performing the necessary testing and surgical procedures that were needed.
My condition is very rare and unusual and undiagnosed. [...] Dr. PONTARI was interested, concerned, curious, friendly. He promised to look into it and get back to me. Later that day he called me with an answer that addressed all of my concerns. I was so grateful that I was in tears. I am now on course to address my issues. How can I thank and recognize Dr. PONTARI more?
Dr was professional and caring
Everything is good excellent.
