Patient Reviews
Sep 15, 2024
Dr Gonzales changed my life with the incredible hip replacement surgery he did. I left hospital next day in minimal pain never had any bruising bleeding and minimal pain for first three days and after that I was walking without walker normal no limp and can finally get back to being active and actually walking normal for first time in years . The cut was amazing . I thought it would be bad but he did such a clean cut and closed it so nicely it’s going to be a very minimal scar . I couldn’t be happier and now I can be , at 62 yrs old young again . He is the best surgeon and highly recommend him.
