I waited about 5 minutes in lobby, less than 5 in the room, everyone is so friendly. From the first time I ever visited this office the staff has been very friendly.

It was easy to make an appointment. The staff is excellent. Didn't have to wait long. Dr. Ponce looked at my scans of my knee and decided that I need knee replacement. Was told to make another appointment. I don't know why. I thought that the next appointment would be set for the surgery. I really am not sure that he spent enough time to throughly explain the where and when.

The front desk staff was courteous and helpful. I was seen after a very short wait. Dr. Ponce was knowledgeable and friendly. He took the time to listen and asked questions. His diagnosis was accurate and, I believe, will help me have a full recovery.
