Great experience.

12/10/2024

Excellent!

11/19/2024

The entire staff was courteous, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire appointment

11/18/2024

Usually doctors are very professional and nice except this time . I think he's little too rough wasn't nice enough. He needs to be little bit nice and listen to them . Fur sure I am not going back to him again. Again it's my opinion. Thank you

11/11/2024

Very positive experience. The only thing I found odd was the fact only one area could be examined per visit. For example, both knee and elbow pain but only knee X-Rayed during this visit. That necessitated another appointment.

11/05/2024

Wonderful

11/04/2024

Slow down a bit as the patient population that Ihey serve is generally older and needs a little more time.

10/30/2024

Attentive and informative

10/29/2024

I have already recommended Dr. Gonzales to friends, and they were equally as pleased as I was with his knowledge and care.

10/28/2024

10/14/2024

He made me feel like I was the only patient and followed up personally two days later

10/10/2024

The treatment from everyone was excellent. Again, the only issue I have is having to wait 45 min. past my appt time to see the Dr.

10/04/2024

Simply put - excellent

10/03/2024

This facility is outstanding in general with Dr. Gonzalez leading in kindness and ultimate professionalism.

Dr. Gonzalez is a wonderful doctor. I have been having a lot of ongoing pain in my shoulder for about 3 years give or take. I first went to him last year and he did an X-ray and then prescribed PT for 8 weeks, 3 sessions. Did not help. I kept thinking it would get better but gave in and went back to him. This time he said an MRI was needed so he could see just what was happening deeper than what an Xray would show. My follow up yesterday with him was amazing. He reviewed each slide with us and explained everything to me. He encouraged me to try the cortisone injection. I was so fearful of having it done, but Dr. Gonzalez went over each step and told me he would take every percaution so it would not be painful. He sprayed a kind of ice on my arm so I would not feel the injection itself. He used ultrasound so the needle went directly into the Bursa (I think that is what it is called). Told me to take it a bit easy yesterday and by the following day I should be able to move my arm without pain. Well, today is day 2 and it is remarkable. After 3 years of suffering, today I can honestly say, no pain!!!! I will be ever grateful to this kind and wonderful doctor. If you have any ortho pains or concerns, please schedule with him. Marvelous doctor!!!!Thank you so much.

From my initial conversation with Dr. Gonzalez it was evident to me that he hadn't reviewed my chart before he spoke. He seemed exceptionally rushed. Maybe he had a bad day because I didn't experience this during my first visit.

Dr. G., went over my MRI, and since I didn't need surgery I could have PT or whatever will help my shoulder heal better. I don't have much of an injury from my fall on my shoulder, I will wait to see how the pain goes unlessd a certain movement. So I will see. as it doesn't seem to bother me
