Ponderosa Family Physicians Reviews ( 160 )

  1. As far as I’m concerned, Dr. Wanna is as good as it gets for a physician. She’s very kind, willing to listen to all you have to say, and acts on problem immediately. She is absolutely not the type of doctor that will just immediately …

  2. Absolutely horrible. I waited two months to see a Dr Hrywynak and I didn’t even spend five minutes with her. She cared more about why my husband and I weren’t on contraceptives than the reason I was there! In fact she asked nothing related …

  5. Doctor Kristin Beougher is a wonderful doctor. She takes her time and listens to your concerns. She’s very thorough in explaining test results. The office staff is great as well. Friendly and professional service.

  6. I love my doctor, Dr Hrywnak. In the past I have had doctors who will listen to my symptoms, and say “you’ll be okay” and send me on my way. Dr Hrywnak is the first time, I can recall, where I feel someone cares. With her it is “we need to …

  7. My husband, grown children, and I have all been patients of Dr. John Draper, with Ponderosa Family Physicians, for ample time to appreciate his skills as a diagnostician. However, it’s not just the expected medical knowledge, he addresses …

  8. Dr’s are ok but the office staff is HORIBLE. We have been going there for over 25 years and they were great but the last couple of years they have really gone down hill. Were looking for a new Dr’s office.

  9. Nursing staff speaks to patients like an angry parent would speak to a 2 year old. Due to my veins being hidden nursing staff said a special vein finding light needed to be used when I have my blood drawn, the same nurse then proceeded to …

  10. Regarding my recent visit at Ponderosa,
    Danny was very friendly and helpful. Her blood draw was awesome.

  15. Dr. Frank is my usually doctor, and I really really like him. But he wasn’t in today when I needed to be seen for a bad fall, so I saw Dr. Beougher, and really liked him. He was professional and thorough, and listened well to everything I …

  16. I have been a patient at Ponderosa Family Physicians for many years. I have always had a good experience with the doctors there even when I had to see a different doctor from my usual one. I also appreciate the option of online telehealth visits.

  17. I have gone to many physicians. Some made me feel uncomfortable and other made me feel like my health wasn’t a priority or a concern. Dr. Frank has always made me feel comfortable and made sure I feel confident before leaving the …

  27. Dr. Scott Beougher is fantastic, he has been my physician for years. He is never in a hurry, friendly and kind. We moved from Aurora to near Elizabeth, about 2 years ago; the round trip is almost 45 miles, but when you find a great doctor, you keep them!

  32. We have the best doctor around with Doc Draper. Our family is grateful to have found such good care over the last 17+ years. He has helped me keep it real on the importance of a proper asthma treatment plan and helps me monitor what is and isn’t working. I very much appreciate that.

  33. My appointment for a long term cough was very quick and efficient. The people who were there were friendly and professional. It was a very pleasant experience, as far as being sick can be.

  34. Dr Brougher is a compassionate professional. I have only good things to say. The Ponderosa office operates the way I want my Dr’s office to run. A smart and efficient staff. I don’t know if they are accepting new patients but if they are, you would be well advised to check this out this office.

  35. I have been going to see my doctor for about 5-6 years now. Dr. Wanna is great! She cares about her patients and is very personable. The other staff members are good too. The only problem i have is not being able to talk to my doctor …

  41. I’ve been going here since I was about 5 years old if not before then. I’m now over 21 and will continue seeing Kristin Beougher until she retires. This practice is full of amazing doctors (besides one). I highly recommend going here. …

  42. Doctor Draper was awesome, as per usual. But my request for a referral was not so good. They could not provide me with a referral for an oral surgeon. Instead, they recommended that I contact my dental insurance.

  43. Kristen Beougher is by far the best doctor I’ve ever had! We have real conversations about women’s health and it’s never awkward or weird. She’s highly knowledgeable, she’s extremely pleasant and I wouldn’t want to see anyone else.

  44. Great staff . Great panel of Doctors. They give you time and listen to everything you have to say. I have just found our new family PCP. Dr Ryan Frank was punctual , prompt , very polite , knowledgeable. He explained everything very clearly with next steps and line of action to me. Highly Recommended!

  45. Dr. Dean was helpful and personable even on a Saturday. The office was efficient and both Baylee and Kendra were caring and service oriented.
    Thank you for the great care!

  46. Showed up early for 10:45 appointment. Short wait til nurse came and took vitals. Visit with Dr Lipnick consisted mostly of q & a and brief physical exam. Left with some tips for physical self improvement, otherwise a relatively clean bill of health. Dr, as always, was personable and genuinely cared for my well-being.

  47. I had gone to this doctors office since I was born and my parents had to switch insurance so we ended up switching to Kaiser but when we switched back I scheduled an appointment but they made me schedule is about 2 months out and I ended up …

  48. If I could give no stars I would. This practice makes rules to suit them and could careless about patients time and consideration and how hard it is to wait months to be seen. I had waited months to get in then when my appointment came the …

  49. Dr. Ryan Frank is a fantastic doctor. He’s a great listener and treats you with dignity. I have seen him a few times, and I have been satisfied with my visits. I would highly recommend him.

  50. If a negative star were an option, I would select it. Ponderosa has the most unprofessional front office staff I have ever encountered. The young ladies working at the desk did not know how to schedule an appointment, made up rules on the …

  51. My appointment time was 7:45 to receive a vaccination. I finally was called back at 8:00. Don’t make the appointments if you do not have the capacity to be timely. Your patients time is valuable!!!

  56. I saw Doctor Draper, who’s actually retiring 5/22, which is unfortunate for all of us. He’s my husband’s well loved regular doctor and this was my first occasion to see him as a patient. Doctor Draper is relatable and easy to talk to. I …

  57. Great experience. Dr. Wanna made me feel very comfortable. This was my first Family physician in Colorado after being in the Kaiser system and I was delighted by how relaxed and easy the communication was with Dr. Wanna. It’s also nice to …

  58. I was seen here today my first time and the staff are awesome and very friendly. Dr. Wanna was great. She was super friendly and personable. I felt she was concerned about addressing my needs today. So glad they accept my insurance and I can be seen there. I give them 5 star rating I highly recommend.

  59. Laura at front desk rude. She was confrontational, and dismissive, and overall unpleasant and lacks professionalism . As I have read reviews of this business, it seems to be common theme amongst the front desk staff.

  60. My son has seen Dr. Janet Peterson since he was little. She retired and new doctor took over. He was in accident and doesn’t have health insurance. Tried to make an appointment with them and told them he can pay cash. Would not take him for appointment.

  61. There are few medical offices I can honestly say I trust as much as this one.

    Dr. Wanna is spectacular and one of the most attentive and caring physicians out …

    Always an enjoyable experience.

  66. Dr. S Beougher is simply my favorite primar care Dr. When we visit, we go over everything and we talk about everything. I am very comfortable with him as my Dr. …

  67. Dr. Kristen Beougher was reassuring with me during the examination. I felt she listened and made informed decisions. I trust her with my health care. Thank you to her and her nurse Melissa.

  68. As a new patient with Dr. Scott, I find him to be compassionate and genuine in his care for my well-being. He listened to me and my concerns – I feel as though I have a more proactive role, I thank you for that Dr. Scott! He also has a very calming voice and excellent bedside manner.

  69. Dr. Wanna is probably one of my favorite doctors of all time. She takes time and listens to your concerns, she’s always available and just all-around amazing doctor. My insurance recently changed and I still go see Dr. Wanna, if she were to move I would still find a way to go to her.

  70. 11/8/2022 – Went in for a physical. Got flu and shingles shot. Great front desk staff, great nurse and Dr Lipnick spent almost an hour going over everything I needed to do to correct some of my health issues. He was in no hurry, explaining …

  71. I’m sure this place is fine if you’re a cishet white person. But as a QBIPOC person, I felt gaslit and brushed off by the doctor I was given. I’ve been having strange symptoms for months and when my blood work came back abnormal, I was told …

  72. I felt listened to by the doctor and he took action to solve an illness I have been battling for six days, even with a trip to ER. The letter for my employer he promised by the end of lunch is not yet posted and it is after 4:00. Receptionist not very friendly or helpful.

  73. Excellent experience with Dr. Ankerman and a virtual visit. A very good listener, personable. and prescribed what he thought was the best medication for the diagnosis. As it turns out, the prescription was needed and was perfect for the …

  74. Love Dr Frank. I was sad when my Dr from this clinic retired. However, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Frank. He takes the time to listen, and it’s obvious he cares.

  75. Do you guys seemed to genuinely care about my health and medical conditions unlike some other doctors who try and rush you in and out of the office as quickly as possible these guys took their time and explained everything. I’m really glad I went with them. Looking forward to my next visit

  76. This was my first visit with Dr. Ankerman. I felt completely at ease and comfortable with him immediately. I am happy that he was able to take me on as a new patient

  77. My husband was only SIX MINUTES late because he couldn’t find the exact room. They denied seeing him and wouldn’t let him reschedule either. According to their ridiculous new patient policy, if you are 1 minute then you are permanently …

  78. I had an appointment for 11:30 am and I got checked in by 11:45, but the doctor was delayed and no one communicated this to me and I ended up speaking with the answering service who called to the back office and no one there picked up. If …

  82. Reception is extremely rude. Failed to refill my prescriptions after calling multiple times and using the patient portal. I’m epileptic, so my prescriptions are very important. They had sent my prescription to a pharmacy that was closed, …

  83. I found this office via search through my health insurance and figured was worth a go with all the positive reviews on google. My husband scheduled an appointment for 10:30, was told upon arrival that they had the appointment instead at …

  84. Dr Wanna makes you feel special – she does not rush the appointment, listens to your concerns, and offers great advice. I feel very comfortable with her and am grateful that she is my doctor!
