The Best Orthopedic specialist 😊
Exelente profesional y muy humano. Solo me queda. Agradecer su. Atenta. Cordial atención. En todo momento de mi visita para mi chequeo medico. ....exelete. persona
He’s a terrific doctor and I have every confidence in him. I was originally referred to Dr. Hofmeister (another excellent physician) from e my Carpal Tunnel and arthritis condition but when I broke my wrist a year ago, Dr. Hofmeister wasn’t available so I ended up seeing Dr. Pomerantz. Now whenever I need an appointment, I’m happy to see whichever of these two doctors is available soonest.
Always a pleasure to be seen by Dr Pomeranz aside from being injured. Excellent doctor.
Dr. Pomerantz was Great. I should have brought him more info. I'm sorry about that but will get it to him soon. Greatful for his patience!
La verdad es que fui muy bien atendida por él me tuvo mucha paciencia. Le agradezco mucho por tomarse el tiempo para escucharme y también para explicarle las cosas.
I didn’t have to wait weeks for an appointment. He and his staff were very knowledgeable about the paperwork I needed. I was quickly set up for an MRI and follow up appointment. It couldn’t have gone better.
I really like the way the doctor he always be so attendant to me in her nurses. They’re really good thank you.
