Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My worst experience with a doctor.
Dr Gonzalez downplayed my concerns after gallbladder removal, brushed me off while I was adamant that something was wrong. I ended up with stone lodged in my common bile duct. Very short with me and showed no compassion during the short interaction I had with her. I work as a nurse and providers like her make me want to get out of healthcare.

Excellent Surgeon, Compassionate & Caring Doctor
Dr. Gonzalez performed my open umbilical hernia repair a few years ago. I was extremely impressed with her caring, kindness, and compassion. She took the time to listen to my whole history, my concerns, and fears, and thoroughly answered all of my questions. She was very genuine and humble, as well; she obviously went into medicine for all the right reasons. I regularly hear horror stories about doctors and surgeons who are dismissive, unsympathetic, and jaded. Dr Gonzalez is proof that there are still great doctors out there. Oh, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t add that every doctor and surgeon who’s seen my scar has commented on how impressive her actual surgical work was too!

Dr. Gonzalez is more than just a doctor & Surgeon
Dr. Gonzalez removed my wife's gall bladder a few months ago. She has always been personable and a great doctor. Yesterday she also stopped what she was doing to help my wife get my car started, even at the chance of her being late. I was unable to help because I was an outpatient waiting for my wife to get to me, and could not get the car started. Dr. Gonzalez stopped what she was doing and came out and got the car started so my wife could pick me up. What a wonderful person she is, along with being a great doctor and surgeon. Thank You Doctor Gonzalez.

great results
my wife had her gall bladder removed by Dr. Gonzalez. My wire was up and around same day with some pain but it was controllable and minimal scars. No ill effects after surgery. my wife is doing great now. From the first visit, Dr. Gonzalez was a great comfort and very professional, as was her office staff. I was so impressed with the results of my wife's surgery, I almost wanted to get one.

Dr Gonzales is amazing. Very effective in communicating procedures and establishing expectations. And her bedside manners ate so gracious and uplifting. If I ever need surgery again, I'm hoping Dr Gonzales will be available. Pastor James Saulter
