Patient Comments
Trusted, takes a common sense approach to diagnosing problems, and practical resolutions.
Showed interest, care, and concern for me and my health.
Dr Pontari was excellent and a terrific ambassador for Temple medicine. It was my first time at Temple, and I was highly impressed
Dr. Pontari cares. In addition he is very thorough.
The doctor was very kind even though I am disabled, I am deaf, mute, and my mother is my guardian, the doctor presented a lot of concern about my case
