This doctor doesn't even write his own back to work/school notes for his patients. He has the patient write it and then he signs it! So the patient can put whatever they want in the note. I know this first hand. Isn't this unethical physician behavior?

I have been going to Dr. Pontarini for over 30 years and he is definitely the best doctor out there!!! I've seen other doctors for minor things but anything serious I will only go to Dr. Pontarini because I trust him and he will know exactly what to do. Anyone who complains about him clearly doesn't know him that well!!!! He's even helped me with a skin condition I had that a dermitologist couldn't help me with. I even bring my children to him and I wish he could be our doctor for ever if that was possible. He is definitely worth the wait

I have been with Dr. Pontarini for the last 31 years and hope to be with him for another 31 years if I live that long, my whole family deals with him and I would recommend him to anybody. If it wasn't for him I would not be alive right now, he will do just about anything to diagnose what you have and won't stop until he has found out what is wrong with you, I am forever grateful to him and hope he continues his practice.

Dr. Pontarini has been my physican since I was a child and have nothing but good things to say about him. My whole family loves him and he is an excellent doctor. I am especially grateful for the care and compassion he showed my grandmother in her final days.

In the mid 90's my father went to Dr.Pontarini and was prescribed medication that conflicted with his blood pressure meds. This shut down his kidneys and after three days we rushed him to hospital. The very first nurse that met with him knew exactly what was wrong and why. When she looked at the meds she exclaimed, "Oh you shouldn't be taking those together!" Although his kidneys began to function again, they were never the same and led to his death from the complications of weak kidney function one year later. In my opinion Dr Pontarini is the direct cause of my fathers early passing. The typical OHIP pharmaceutical drug pusher. I am actually surprised to see him listed considering from my understanding he has had his liscence taken away at least once for killing people. The fact that he is still able to practice in ontario is criminal. For all of those that answered positively I'd be interested to know how many meds your on. Do yourselves a favour and seek a second opinion.
