I've been a patient of Dr. Ponec for years. Not only is he knowledgeable in his field, he is thorough and has a wonderful bedside manner.

The procedure was for my son. Dr. Ponec gave me a very thorough explanation of what was done during the procedure, and the whole staff was great and I felt assured that my son was well taken care of!

As a returning patient (3X’s), Dr Ponec is the best! He is a professional in all aspects of his field. I am glad once again that he was my physician for the procedure!

Everyone today was so professional and reassuring. I appreciated each one of you who had a part in my care. Thank you Dr. Ponec for your clear explanation following my procedure, to the anesthetist and several others who took time and care with me prior to and after the procedure. You are all very good conversationalists, (is that even a word??) and put people at ease.

I appreciate the statistics prior to the procedure, and the history of colon-related concerns. He shook my hand and made me feel at ease.
