Patient Reviews
Oct 27, 2023
I came to Honor Scottsdale after YRMC in Prescott refused to do any imaging to determine what was causing my excruciating neck pain. SIX TIMES. Honor Scottsdale coordinated Dr. Ponce operating on my c1 and c2 vertebrae and fused them . The job he did was amazing. Dr. Ponce if you are reading this, to my family and I you are a hero!
