I took my sweet mother, suffering from Alzheimer's, to Dr Gonzales upon recommendation of another GI specialist, who did not provide the sedation options that Mom needed. We were beyond pleased with Dr Gonzales' thoroughness, professionalism, honesty and kind bedside manner. Our appointments were never over until all our concerns were answered to our satisfaction. Additional office staff were just as kind & competent! He was worth the wait. His FNP & office staff were great to respond interim!!

Believe the bad reviews. Go out of network if you have to. I have never felt more like a number than an human being. Office didn’t contact me for scheduling and I had to call back several times. Didn’t call me with biopsy results. When I had my procedure the doctor couldnt answer any of my questions at the end of my procedure and was annoyed that I even asked because he needed to get in and out. Definitely doesn’t care about well being or quality of care for his patients.

I got called back to my room and was having my initial check in by Dr Gonzales's nurse, before she even finished, he walked in and without even asking me a question, told me I has IBS. [He determined this by looking at my history before he walked in] He spent 2- minutes with me and left to write up a list of medicines to take. Turns out, I was totally misdiagnosed. I got another opinion and have severe distal diverticulosis with thickening of the distal sigmoid colonic wall. I also have signs of peritoneal carcinomatosis. I ... read more

I only met Dr. Gonzales a couple of minutes before my procedure. I had to do a multitude of tests, the results of which were not explained to me. I had to look on my patient site and figure out the results for myself. His NP and a physician in training overseeing my procedure were more interested in me than he was. He told me my months of digestive issues, rapid weight loss and debilitating pain were because I hit myself in the abdomen with a shopping cart.

I've had Crohn's disease for several years and have seen four doctors over this span of time. Dr. Gonzales is a very kind man, however his practice is not run efficiently. The staff is near impossible to get in touch with and they don't seem to be concerned with me or any patient specifically. I understand that they see many patients, however there is no individuality or concern with each patient. I am not impressed with the medical care given to me.

I saw Dr. Gonzales for about six months. It takes at least two months to schedule an appointment. He refused to listen to any of my concerns. I saw him a total of five times including a colonoscopy. The last time I saw him I was still very sick and bleeding, Dr. Gonzales insisted that I was healed and would have to just deal with my bleeding and diarrhea.

Very hard to get hold of staff if you have any medical questions or concerns. They usually get back within 48 hours. Very difficult to get appointments with Dr. Gonzales, you often have to wait several weeks or a month to get in to see him, even if you need more immediate help.
