"MY FIRSTIMPRESSION OF DOCTOR PONCE WAS GREAT, MY APPOINTMENT WAS A 10AM AND HIS OFFICE WAS ALREADY FULL OF PATIENTS, WAITTING FOR HIM, MOST OF HIS PATIENTS WHERE TALKING ABOUT HOW IS SO WORHT THE WAIT TO SE HIM,(since he is not just a bariatric surgeon he also sees ptatiens for other GI problems) THAT MADE ME FEEL GOOD, ALSO HE WAS MY MOM'S SURGEON AND SHE SEEMS TO BE VERY HAPPY W/THE OUTCOME OF HER SURGERY. THE LANGUAGE BARRIER WAS NOT AN ISSUE TO ME SINCE I SPEAK SPANISH, MY CONSULTATION WAS INTERESTING AND I FELT THAT I WAS READY TO DO THIS, THEN I HAD MY SURGERY DONE AND SO FAR THE AFTER CARE HAS BEEN GREAT, HE IS \"ALWAYS\" THERE FOR ME, WE PROVIDE ME W/3 DIFFERENT PHONE #'S ON WHERE TO REACH HIM, ALSO HIS OFFICE STAFF IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP W/ANY Q'S OR LETTING THE DOCOTOR KNOW WHEN I CALL, HE CALLS ME RIGHT BACK. rnHis surgical competence, bedside manner are great, I'm very happy w/doctor Ponce de Leon.
