Dr. Jonathan Daines Pond, MD

Not going to post details as I spent 20 minutes writing review and in end it wouldn't post. Bottom line he didn't read scans properly, send me to PT, went to Neurosurgeon that read properly and was scheduled for surgery immediately. Idiot is a hack that follow insurance protocols vs what should be done for patient.

I was sent to him because of a scan of my back after a fusion surgery. The Dr that sent me to him felt the initial fusion wasn't complete and solid. After seeing Dr. Pond he sent me to therapy despite the scan results. After a consult of another local Dr. that seen results, told me to go elsewhere to get a 2nd opinion, resulted in having a 2nd back surgery to fix what wasn't right, but this idiot wanted me to do therapy when fusion wasn't complete. Every bad Dr. immediately just sends people to therapy, therapy has its place, but it wont fix when you are really broke. This tells me on an initial consult all he will do is do the minimum and send you to physical therapy and ignore scans that show serious issues. FYI after seeing a real Dr. neurosurgeon scheduled me for surgery, so happy I didn't hurt myself further doing therapy that could have crippled me further.
