Man I know I was 10 minutes late and that's awful but seriously, you can't wait until 3 PM? My car wouldn't start and the traffic and road construction in this area is awful, I was also stopped by a train. Wasted an hour of my time just getting there and leaving, not to mention the gas.

Seriously one of the worst doctors I have ever seen, did not care about individual patient. Didn’t even touch my knee, when he made my diagnosis. Please go see someone else!

He has done several surgeries on my knees, including a complicated full knee replacement. He is an amazing Dr that actually shows his human side by caring. He left the practice he was at recently. I can not find where he went!!

I was given referral to Dr Pomponi. I went to see him It's unfair to rate a doctor because of his staff but I am absolutely disappointed, Iv'e had 2 instances with the staff at this office.

Dr. Pomponi did a great job fixing both of my wrists. The staff at his office who I had interactions with were friendly and professional. Never had had much of a wait in the office, if any. Highly recommend!
