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.

Ok, why would anybody give him more than a one star. I've called about 5 different numbers and all of them r disconnected or out of service. He's currently giving my mom lorazepam 1mg 2 times a day. She is 72 and has never taken Xanax or Attivan. It can be deadly for dementia patients. I've asked him once before and he stopped it but now he must have forgotten or just doesn't care but he is giving it again. I go to visit and my mom doesn't know me. Dr. Pinhole you better call me if you read this

23 Apr 2017 0244 hrs. Greetings... I first discovered Dr. Ponhold back in the middle eighties. I lived on east coast, came home for yearly visits. Dr. Ponhold helped me immensely. I relocated, and saw him in private practice in Downey...he was great. Then, I transitioned to VA. I just discovered him through the internet, I miss his professionalism, knowledge and skills. Richard.
