Patient Reviews
Jul 10, 2024
From my first appointment with Dr Gonzalez I knew I was in the very best hands possible. It was obvious to me he cares deeply about getting the best outcome for his patients. He communicated with me, not at me. He took the time necessary to answer all my questions and made sure I really understood what to expect. His positive manner, certainty, knowledge and experience made me feel very comfortable going into surgery. My surgical outcome far exceeded my expectations. All his staff are just as exceptional. I’m forever grateful.
