This was our first time meeting Dr. Ponder and I will say we were blown away!!! He is one of the most, if not the most, informative doctor we have ever met! He was very thorough and kind and gave us options for treatment with his highest recommendation being the first option. We felt respected for whatever option we picked, but of course chose the one he recommended due to him seeming very educated and confident. Then, when the results came back, he was spot on!! We are very happy to have Dr Ponder care for our family. You're awesome doc!!

Dr. Ponder and his team are beyond wonderful. Since our first visit, about 11 years ago, he and his team made our son's journey navigating T1D very educational and caring. And of course they were wonderful in helping us as parents transition into his care. We feel blessed to have them in our lives. The whole staff has always been great. As a pervious customer service director for a hospital system, I have to say you have the A team of A teams.
