Patient Reviews
Aug 17, 2022
Saw Dr. Ponce 3 times for cardiac problems. She ordered echo and evaluated, explaining the results to me. She was not pushy and accepted this patient's decisions about what was acceptable tests and treatments. The only negative was that she did not inform me of her departure from the practice.
