I was very nervous about seeing Dr. Ponce because having him except me as a patient was very important. He put at ease immediately. We discussed the pros and cons of the MRI guided Focused Ultrasound procedure for tremors and the Deep Brain Stimulation surgery. I am interested in having the FUS procedure as it does not involve incisions. It was a very good consultation and I am happy that I have been scheduled for the procedure in March. Dr. Ponce has a wonderful way of interacting with his patients. The staff are helpful and supportive of the patients needs. It was a very good meeting and I am very grateful to everyone at Barrow Neurological Institute.

He is amazing. He took me from essential tremor severe, which would’ve been a lifetime of hell and solve the problem. I am forever grateful

Personable, knowledgeable, attentive and kind. He took the time to ensure we knew the options and answered our questions. Dr. Pounce carries a confidence that promotes security, and I want someone like that taking care of my life.
