I was very pleased with this visit for my daughter, not her regular doctor but I appreciated the time and I learned a lot about new ways I can take care of my daughter. It is a scary time when your children get sick and I appreciated the thorough explanation and time :)

After a really negative visit to Facey Urgent care with a provider that seemed dismissive and uncaring, Dr. Gonzalez diagnosed my son's issue quickly and he's all better now. He was patient and thorough and more than anything empathetic and caring.

Dr. Gonzalez is a phonemal doctor. I am extremely blessed to have found a peds doctor for my kids. I wouldn't trade him for anyone else. He is patient and explains everything in detail.
