Dr. Gonzalez was so wonderful meeting with my daughter, [patient name]. He was incredibly knowledgeable and also so friendly. And he was so welcoming and really put us at ease. And we were so very grateful to be in his care and look forward to continuing that care. We are very, very thankful for the time with Dr. Gonzalez.

Excellent MD. Very informative, kind, thorough. Explained in detail and provided choices. Spoke to my son and to me. I intended to keep this HFU and consider surgery in another system with surgeons I've worked with, know, and love. Because of the doctor's excellence in communication and patient/family experience, I've decided to remain with LCMC for my son's care. That's the greatest compliment I can provide!

Excellent service.

All of the staff was extremely friendly. We got in in a timely manner and he was excellent. He not only talked to me, but he talked to my child, and he was able to explain things in a way that she was able to understand and feel comfortable with. He gave us all of our options and gave us time to make our choice. He is a fantastic doctor.

Dr. Gonzales was very kind and explained my child's condition. He listened to me and my child's concerns. He also explained alternatives and made sure we had all of our questions answered. He even explained the MRI images. We never felt rushed.

Rushed in and out. I asked him to come back in because I had some concerns, I felt like the way were dismissed and he walked back off. He is not our normal doctor, and I am so thankful, because our experience was subpar. I would not have felt comfortable letting him operate on my child. I was thankful he worked us in for a recasting appointment that day since our regular doctor was out. But I was also upset that we drove 4 hours one direction to see a doctor who dismissed our concerns one week post-op

I came back in recently to get a copy of the after visit summary and the front desk staff was very rude and unprofessional. I provided the appropriate paperwork to verify who I was and as one girl tried to help me the other two spoke to her and about me rudely. Stating I could be anyone and I could be getting anyone's paperwork. I may not return to this office.

This provider provided very clear understanding, caring, instructions, medical information, was direct with the patient, my child, and this was our second time seeing him, and I will always recommend this provider, this hospital, and everyone we've seen, all staff, from the front door we walked in to everyone we passed, very, very helpful, very respectful, very caring, very loving. Everyone had a smile on their face. Such a delight when we have to go there with the diagnosis we have. Thank you.

Dr. Gonzales has always been great with my son. He is super nice, always explain details very well, and always listen to my concerns about my son's feet.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/1/2025
Dr spoke with my daughter and asked her what was going on. I appreciated this because children need to be able to tell a Dr what is wrong and not always rely on their parent. This helps them grow into productive adults

Dr Gonzales has been an incredible part of our care team since having my daughter. I will truly be sad to leave him when she's grown and aged out. He is the easiest, most helpful Dr I've ever come across. I wish more were like him in different fields
