John B Gonzalez

My appointment with Dr. Gonzalez was horrific. He was treating the wrong shoulder and when I told him, he became extremely aggressive and combative! He went as far as to get into my face, asking my wife and myself if we had medical degrees. He also criticized a fellow physician who had recently retired. I won’t be returning to Dr. Gonzalez.

I saw Dr. Gonzalez for wrist pain. Dr. Gonzalez did a thorough exam, reviewed my x-rays, explained to me the diagnosis and treatment plan. I was very happy with the office and the physician.

Dr. Gonzalez is the worst, he gets upset if you ask questions, is your body and you have right to ask about the treatments, he sometimes starts talking about no sense, ???? he confuse patients and treatments. Poor thing he can't handle it. If you don't believe me, questions him about what treatment he recommends and why....

Love him and his staff. Friendly but quick and matter of fact, cause they are BUSY. But he saved me from first Dr. who was a quack.

Love him and his staff. He knows what hes doing and is friendly but he is busy, so the appointments are quick and to the point. But I like it and trust him and he save my hand from previous provider....

Poor decisions on Dr's part

THE STAFF IS EXTREMELY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I WILL NEVER USE THIS OFFICE AGAIN OR REFER ANY OF MY CLIENTS HERE.

Dr. Gonzalez is an excellent, caring, experiened knowledgeable doctor! I highly recommend him for any knee problems you may be experiencing! He can help you!

Dr Gonzalez did an excellent job and 2 separate surgeries in my hand. Is been 2 Yrs and I have no problems at all. A lot of people say he is rude but that his character I will prefer his character than doing a lousy surgery and in pain for the rest of my life

John Gonzales is a great doctor, are words that will never leave my lips. Long story short....work place injury .need a sooner emergency appointment due to major pain. Female on phone, “you can’t wait 2 more days for your appointment?” Get to appointment, wait forever, as usual, in exam room with requested paperwork for “him”. He comes in barely looks at me, I ask question and get a hand in my face to shut up. He leaves while saying someone will be in to schedule therapy. He never comes back. Female walks in with paperwork while I’m holding back angry tears. Doctor never looked at paperwork and I still had questions and my pain was not addressed (remember emergency appointment due to pain?). I end up at his office, door was open, he wanted nothing to do with me. He angrily came to the door and pushed me with his body. I called him an a-hole, he says, thanks for the comment. I tell him I want another doctor and then I leave. No yelling, at all. Go to car, I forgot paperwork and now I’m mad. Go back in, ask for doc, he never shows up. I ask again and state that if I don't see him I’m calling police. Remember the push with his body? Manager comes out claiming I’m causing a scene, I’m still bot yelling or even being loud. She orders me upstairs. I see lady that was just laughing and talking to “his”staff and she’s supposed to make thing right or whatever. I decide that’s not gonna work for me and leave. I go downstairs to a small enclosed waiting area and write up what just happened. Call cops. Get one with a bad attitude. Next think I know, I’m getting written up at work for causing a scene and calling the doctor a f-Ing a-hole (which all of his “witnesses” claim is the truth and it’s not. I chose my words very carefully ) and all of a sudden all his staff happened to witness what happened. So much more to this story that I’m not able to share. It’s great to see that some people don’t have issues with this man. Most people I talk to are not happy with him. I even had a coworker ask me about him, because she had a similar experience. I don’t care if he’s some kind of miracle man, it’s not worth it for treatment that you’ll receive from his staff and from him. There’s so many more doctors out there that actually care and will take the time to talk with you and that actually care about you. Don’t waste your time with this man. He’s not worth the hype. And the paperwork that I went back to get, conveniently disappeared within the few minutes I’d walked a short distance to my car and back to the office. Somehow, though, the X-ray that I brought in with the paperwork ended up in the computer. I called multiple times for the paperwork, but it was never located. I’m not a fan of liars and this person and his staff are nothing but liars and cheaters. I wouldn’t be surprised if he paid them off to stick up for him. He can’t be a pleasant person to work for with the way that he treats patients. See at your own risk!

Waiting for 2 hours to see a doctor is completely ridiculous. No respect for others people time. I left with out get a chance to see a doctor

They have you on hold for 15 minutes then come on phone to tell u hold again . Oh no this place supposed to be doing my surgery. Got a authorization for wrong body part as well Oh Gee What kind place is this !!!!!!

For meeting Dr. Gonzalez for the 1st Time, my impression was “wow this dr is so rude !!” He needs to work on his communication skills with his patients my nephews were asking him questions because they were curious about some things he didn’t even bother to look at them or speak to them he completely ignored them and as I was asking him a question before he left he cuts me off, tells me to go to the front desk and walks away doesn’t even say “have a good day” or anything For meeting Dr. Gonzalez for the 1st Time, my impression was “wow this dr is so rude !!” He needs to work on his communication skills with his patients my nephews were asking him questions because they were curious about some things he … More

I was referred to this Dr Gonzales thru my employer's insurance co. Gallagher bassett. Dr Gonzales is not a good doctor , he does whatever the insurance company tells him . He is rude , and the office people are rude ! I have a torn bicep and he did nothing for me or my pain ! He said he would only do surgery on me If I was an athlete!

I was so scared going in to see dr Gonzalez with my daughter because of all the horrible reviews but he was amazing! He made her at ease and explained everything in detail. I would definitely use him again if needed!

Dr. So called dr. Saw my husband, having the mri in his record he ordered x rays just to charge more on w/c claim. He not even let my husband talk at all every time he wanted to ask him a question the dr said “ wait , wait listen” he talked too fast and AND TO MUCH ...HE DOESNT LISTEN TO HIS PATIENTS AT ALL, HE DOESNT EXPLAIN WHAT THE PLANS ARE OR WHAT THE PROGNOSIS IS, not worth waiting 4 hours to see him ALL HE CARES IS CHARGING FOR SOMETHING HE DOESNT DESERVE.!!!!!! I would give him a -5 stars!!!! Dr. So called dr. Saw my husband, having the mri in his record he ordered x rays just to charge more on w/c claim.

Dr. Gonzalez does a great job and always greets me with enthusiasm. He is very knowledgeable and was very caring with my wrist. He went to great lengths to make sure I was taken care of after my softball injury. I enjoyed him and the other staff members. I would definitely recommend!

I will never be returning. Dr. Gonzalez became angry when i expressed annoyance at a brace he placed me in, as it was not holding together and was causing me pain/instability and to fall. He yelled at me, said I could follows his orders or I could leave, and walked out of our appointment. His staff refused to provide my x-rays or documentation, and I was billed for the 2 minute appointment.

Probably the worst doctor i have ever seen, he is rude and does not care about what you have to say or how much pain you are in. It’s his way or no way he’s right your always wrong he’s a doctor your just a stupid patient. He staff is beyond rude. My first visit i waited 3 hrs past my appointment time. I would not recommend going to this guy your better off at a urgent care then him. Beyond the worst. My last visit i called him out that i was in pain and need help and he just yelled at me

I have now been waiting for 1.5 hours and the staff is rude. Sooo irritated. Wish I could leave zero stars

This idiot Gonzales (won’t call this moron a “doctor”) was so rude to my wife I almost knocked his block off...

Dr. Gonzalez and his staff are Amazing & efficient. After a major wrist fracture & surgery by another Dr , Dr. Gonzales was able to correct the deformities and now I have Full use of my Hand/Wrist again! Thank You, Dr. Gonzalez

I can respect the views of other patients who've sounded off here, but Dr. Gonzalez was wonderful to me. He was courteous and listened to my explanation of what I was feeling and provided positive feedback. He fully explained what was going on and I ended up having a surgical procedure on my hand and all went smoothly. I was in so much pain prior and the staff (while a bit hurried) were quite nice to me. I get that the waiting room can be crowded, but that comes with the territory ( I brought a book to read). I'd gladly go there again. I can respect the views of other patients who've sounded off here, but Dr. Gonzalez was wonderful to me.

The wait was terrible, when I finally got to see the doctor it was very dissapointing. he did a few movements with my hands , measured my arm, and said i have carpal tunnel and need surgery. I asked about cortisone injection and he said we dont do that. then said come back in 30 days and tell me if you want the surgery. well no i don't want surgery ! saw two other doctors and it turns out i have tendonitis of the wrist.. I feel he just wants to do surgeries, needed or not.

Most arrogant doctor I have beem treated by - doesn't give a rat's ass what you have to say about your inkiry or pain - I had a wrist fusion two years ago and still having problems but according to him everything is fine- I'm looking for a new doctor

agree with google user from 5 years ago.. I guess Dr. Gonzales hasnt changed any. This perfectly describes him. This dr. is an arrogant jerk. Im sure he is skilled, but his personal skills are a disaster. He is generally uninterested in hearing his patients voice. I was in his care for several months and found he was consistently impatient when I had questions but I overlooked it because I am not a jerk that calls out every difficult person I do business with. Repeatedly, I heard him speaking impertinently with other patients in other rooms, and heard other patients yell at him. It's not just me. He really has a bad personality. Avoid him. agree with google user from 5 years ago.. I guess Dr. Gonzales hasnt changed any. This perfectly describes him. … More

I waited over 2hrs passed my apt time. When I was called up to the nurse, she told me that he recommended surgery and if I didn't agree with him, I shouldn't sign the credit card slip( which was quoted at $360- but was printed up at $444.39), I asked if I could just speak to the Dr. She said he told her that he didn't want to talk to me unless I was agreeing to the surgery. When I finally got to speak to him, it was for 30 seconds before he went storming out of the room. I was advised to leave.

This doctor is Ridiculously Rude and arrogant not to mention his staff is a mile ahead of him in the same field,one of his own staff member has told me the reason to the rudeness and staff treating the patients as not humans is Doctor himself,due to the fact that he has personal relationships with his staff after work hours.The wait time to see him (for nothing) is 3 to 4 hours norm.Dr Gonzalez also dont have any bedside manners.After 10 years I still got scars on my both hands,He Lied to me.

Does not know what he is talking about. One appointment tells me one thing and then the next appointment totally contradicts what he said. Would not let my spouse come into exam room with me. I think it was so if I ever complained it would be my word against his. I would give him zeros if it was possible. Fractured my ankle and he never even looked at my foot.

If I could give no stars I would. This place is a shame. Poor customer service, and the attitude you receive makes you feel unwelcomed, not even a hello when you walk in the door. If you have a work related injury and they refer you here, I suggest get a lawyer to help you find a better doctor that will work on helping you not your employer If I could give no stars I would.

I am 86 years old and have a pain in my right wrist. Dr Gonzalez, after a cursory exam, prescribed Prednisone, It did not help. I signed up for the first appt for 2 weeks later only to find that at 8 am there were 5 patients ahead of me and no doc in sight. Dr G came in at 8:12, had coffee and joked with the staff. I was shown an exam room at 8:30. At 8:40 Dr Gonzalez rushed in, told me to find a second opinion and left! I waited 45 minutes for that! His arrogance was overwhelming. I will certainly find another doctor who cares whether I heal or not! I am 86 years old and have a pain in my right wrist. Dr Gonzalez, after a cursory exam, prescribed Prednisone, It did not help.

My husband came in to see dr. Gonzalez for a soft knuckle issue. Dr. Gonzalez was friendly and described everything thoroughly. We were very pleased with the attention that we received from from him.

Gonzalez is the worst doctor ever. Terrible bed side manner. He is full of himself. Staff is rude. I waited three hours to be seen past my appointment time. Go to this office at your own risk.

I would recommend Dr Gonzalez to anyone, he is efficient , spends time explaining all procedures and very kind. He is a very skilled surgeon.

After trying several times to ask a question about how to manage my pain, and getting interrupted every time, I responded Jesus, can I just ask a question. I was then kicked out of the office without any help with my serious pain. The doctor may be offended by the name Jesus, but I am offended that he gets paid so much without having to care about his patients at all.

Here is my HORRIBLE experience at this office and why I left the operating table before my hand surgery. I broke a finger and my primary care physician referred me to Dr. Gonzalez. I went and got my x-rays for my appointment that was in two days to see Dr. Gonzalez. I arrived at my appoint about 20 minutes early to fill out my paper work and my 20 minutes was taken up by me having to wait in a long line to be called, "next" by one of the two front desk woman, once I got called next these ladies are RUDE, do not give ANY friendly smiley or greeting to the office, they just throw the paperwork at you to fill out without a word besides, "next." I figured what ever maybe some one is having a hard day, (I'm pretty patient with assholes), so I filled out the paperwork and when you go to hand it back to the woman at the front your told to, "get in line and we will get to you" I stood behind two people and handed her my paperwork when called, "next" and then she said, "take a seat and your name will be called." So I sat for about an hour and a half for my name to be called back and I was put into this large room with a few old school hospital beds that were VERY outdated and the room was old and creepy. A nurse then came in after me waiting 20 minutes in the horror movie style room and told me they needed to move me into another room because they set me up with an ankle specialist. SO now they moved me to a VERY, VERY, VERY small, cold, old room to wait for the nurse to ask questions about my injury and about my medical history, I have a rare congenital heart disease (that I had to repeat myself three times and explain what congenital meant to the nurse that has long blonde hair) and after I waited about 45 minutes to see Dr. Gonzalez. Dr. Gonzalez and his nurse were both very fast pace and not caring about their patients (acting as if, hurry up and just get out of here so they can get to the next patient), demanding to convince I needed pins, acts as a know it all, as if not to ask questions and comes off very unprofessional. Before leaving the office, I had to wait in another long line to make my follow up appointment just before the surgery. I came back for my follow up appointment and did the long wait again to see Dr. Gonzalez and he was not very detailed about what he was going to do during my surgery and I asked questions and got very short undetailed answers and quote from Dr. Gonzalez, "this is how its done in Mexico" (I shouldn't have even wasted any more time with this unprofessional doctor) but I showed up for my surgery a few days later at the surgery center, which is just as old and creepy as the office, very weird vibes! My appointment was set early in the morning and I had to wait 45 minutes in the lobby to be taken back when no one was in the lobby. I go into the empty area (It felt creepy) and I see two woman nurses. The older nurse asks for me to go into the bathroom and urinate in the plastic cup and place it on top of the waste basket when I am done, (not even the cups with lids that'd I usually see at professional practices or a proper place to place the urine cup) I was now starting to feel more disgusted with this old, creepy, unprofessional surgery center. I come out and put my cap and gown on as told by the nurse while she asked me medical questions while I was dressing. I had to yet explain again my congenital heart condition and the nurse had no idea what she was doing, I repeated myself numerous times the heart monitor needs to placed on backwards because of my arteries are flipped backwards, they had no knowledge of what they were doing, did not make me feel cared for by rushing everything once they got me in the back room and shoving consent forms in my face and not letting me speak with the doctor, my gut told me on that last final page to not sign and walk away. I am happy I did because I am now seeing an excellent doctor at UCLA orthopaedic surgery center. I suggest you research your doctor before going into surgery for an injury so serious!

On 3/3/1990 I had gotten ran over by a 10 ton vehicle. It crushed my right lower extremities. Dr Gonzalez was a cool dude back then. He ended up doing micro-reconstruct my foot and ankle. He ended up holding my foot together with 8 connecting pins with 2 screws on either side of my ankle. also another pin through my heel. After a year dr Gonzalez removed the hardware from foot and ankle. during the 3 yrs of rehab and being told I will walk with a limp the rest of my life. Also being told when I'm around 32 or 33 I will need replacement of bones and arthritis will kick in really bad. Erased that!!! A year after Dr Gonzalez released me I had joined the US ARMY with no problem. I just became a retired US Army veteran with 4 tours in Iraq and 2 tours in Afghanistan. Thanks Dr Gonzalez for repairing my right leg and made it possible for me to run 100's of miles. On 3/3/1990 I had gotten ran over by a 10 ton vehicle. It crushed my right lower extremities.
