Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
Dr Ponder has did a partial knee & two knee replacements, he has also done a right hip replacement and in December he will do the left hip. This has been done over the past 20 years. He is wonderful, praying with and for his patients. He has the best bedside manners. He is the best.

Dr. Ponder performed my robotic knee replacement in 12/10/2018. I am pleased to say I have a huge hike in Utah booked for June of this year. At almost three months out I still have some discomfort when I over do it. My ROM is not perfect. But I am confident I will get there. I am totally convinced I had the right doctor and the right device implanted. I think the staff during my hospital stay could up their game a little. But Dr. Ponder was great!

He did my robotic knee replacement in Nov at Bone and Joint Hospital where I received wonderful care. Dr Ponder is the best OS and I have great trust in him. He and his PA Mark are a great team! Both are so sweet, caring and knowledgeable. His staff are all exceptional just like him. You will not be disappointed in this Dr nor his 2 PA’s and staff who listen and answer all your questions. I’ve made several calls and always get a call back. Will not go anyplace else as I love this group!!!

I have great satisfaction and admiration for Dr. Corey Ponder, the ultra-professional and friendly staff that works with him at the office, and the the excellent nursing staff at the bone and joint replacement center where my first knee was replaced less than 2 weeks ago. I already have much greater range of use with my right knee than prior to replacement, and I honestly can't wait for replacing the left knee. Dr. ponder brings glory to God in his work, and I glorify God for great results!
