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.

Very uncaring
I had the gastric sleeve procedure although he explained the procedure well he did not give any instruction for post procedure food or eating plan. I also developed an infection at 2 of my surgery sites and was told to just put a bandage on it. I went to my family doctor and was diagnosed with MRSA at both areas. I informed the staff at Dr Gonzalez -ortiz office and was treated as if I was an inconvenience.

Gallbladder Removal
Had to get laparoscopic surgery recently due to a finding of gallstones. Dr Gonzalez was very thorough, professional, polite and actually made me feel at ease before operation and my post op checkup. He gave me time to ask some questions I had before and after the procedure. Office ladies also very personable and caring. I will not hesitate to return to this office with any issues.
