Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

After being with Kaiser for 45 years I moved out of their service area when I moved to the SBA area. I was assigned to Dr. Ponce based on other reviews that he had been given. I met him yesterday for the first time and found him to be very knowledgable and seemingly caring. He did not rush thru the appointment but took the time to get to know me. He immediately set me up for blood work and dermatology appointments because of my past history. I feel I have found a new partner for my health
