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.

not a good experience..
Despite his popularity, I found him to be impatient and unhelpful in evaluating the best course of action for my issues. He seemed irritated and bored with my questions.

I could tell he was a busy and popular doctor. After I was able to get in with him ( I chose to wait) he was attentive, honest and very knowledgeable

Dr. Ponsky removed my Prostate over four years ago via robotic surgery and today I am cancer free. I feel my success is related to Dr. Ponsky’s surgical skill. I also liked his bedside manor during my surgery and his follow up visits.

Our experience with Dr. Ponsky and his office was very unfortunate. We were first for a biopsy in the morning - waited a long time while hearing his resident and anesthesiologist question whether he might show up. Then waited 2 weeks for results only to show up for the appointment to find out it was cancelled, without informing us. They said an alternate appt was scheduled - but as they checked further they saw that that appt was also cancelled - again no notice to us. Very disconcerting !
