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.

Dr. Gonzalez explained everything to me in a manner that I could understand.

Dr Gonzalez gave me feed back on my recent MRA of the brain and reassured me that the aneurysm was stable and he will follow up in one year. I was comfortable with his care.

Dr. Gonzalez is an amazing, talented, and caring surgeon. He treated my mom 5 years ago at UCLA by putting a stent on her aneurysm. He made my mom and all of us feel at peace and safe. Once he moved to Cedars- Sinai, so did my mom for her yearly check up. His team, in particular Antoinette, are amazing. He also speaks Spanish which made my family and I happy since he explained the surgery in relatable terms so my mom could understand.

Dr. Gonzalez saved my life, and I and my family will forever be grateful to him. I had a diagnosed brain aneurysm that began to rupture in September 2015. I had an emergency operation (embolization) performed by Dr. Gonzalez and his neurosurgery team (UCLA). My outcome was highly successful. People who know about my treatment are amazed, not only that I survived, but that my recovery was so complete. The care I received from Dr. Gonzalez and his team before and following my surgery was exceptional. This is a very scary condition to have. You want care from someone you can trust. You can trust Dr. Gonzalez. If he is your surgeon, you will truly be in good hands.

Dr Gonzalez, my angel, saved my life February 29, 2008. Initially given a 2% chance for survival after an AVM ruptured I am 100% and feeling great. Could not give enough stars, as I literally owe this man my life. God Bless. David
