Kathryn Ponto, MD

I am a strong advocate for patient education and preventative care. The more I can help my patients know about their health, the better equiped they are to maintain it. When medical concerns or problems arise, my strategy is to inform patients of all of the options available, reviewing pros and cons, so that each woman can make her own best informed decision.
