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.

Best Doctor I know (and I know MANY)
Dr. Gonzalez is the most caring doctor I have experienced, and that's a lot considering all my medical issues. She practices with heart, I never feel rushed, she is very compassionate. She goes above and beyond. Very grateful to have met her.

Dr. Gonzalez was warm, friendly, and caring. She took a great deal of time going over my records and history so we could discuss the best course of action. Because I have a situation which is a catch 22, she wants to be directly involved with my nephrologist’s assessment. We also went over my vitamin intake and she advised me of the pros and cons of taking too much Calcium via supplements which I wasn’t aware of. I left my appointment with Dr. Gonzalez, such a highly respected physician, feeling very grateful and secure knowing she will guide me in the right direction.

She is an amazing doctor that is kind thoughtful and caring. She goes beyond diagnosing and treating the primary situation but helps with mindset and life challenges with insights that are vital to successful treatment. Not your run of the mill in and out type of physician. Highly recommend!!!
