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.

Only 1 star because 0 is not possible. He did shoulder and hip on me, both have had revisions by competent surgeons. Will eventually need hip replacement due to his gouging my femur with instrument causin permanent damage. Current surgeon said no repair was ever made just more damage. But hey Dr. Gonzales was sympathetic and also had the same pains and problems as me and felt bad for me. Wouldn't sent my worst enemy to this incompetent quack!

Dr. Gonzlez is different then most surgeons. He actually speaks with you and not at you. He explained everything in detail and would spend time answering questions. I had a major surgery on my shoulder. He completed the surgery and started me on rehab the very next day. I have healed completely and have 100% strength and mobility in my shoulder. I would definately seek him out if I need any more surgeries. Great experience.
