Dr. Maria V. Gonzales-Vigilar

I've been seeing Dr. Vigilar since I was 14 years old, over 10 years ago. She has been a dream. It definitely feels like a partnership in the fact that you are collaborating on your care. She will never try to coerce you into a medication or treatment that you don't feel is a right fit for you. I have moved 8 hours away but will be making the trip to continue to see Dr. Vigilar!

Best Dr. of my 30+ year mental health journey, and first to accurately diagnose and treat my disorder; I am an 8yr patient. She has made me a PARTNER in my treatment; if you want to sit back, take a single pill and suddenly be better, there is something wrong with YOU, not the doctor! Waits to see her can be long - she is in-demand - so book ahead as best you can. She may also run late with your appt, only because she gives extra time to people who may be in crisis. Just remember she will do the same for YOU, if ever needed. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION

Narcissistic and rude. Run away folks!

I've been seeing Dr. Gonzales for some time now, and she doesn't seem to understand my problems at all. During appointments, I'll explain how I've been doing but it barely seems like she listens. She frequently suggests things that I've told her wouldn't work. After upping the dosage of my medications and putting me on a new one, she recommended that I be hospitalized JUST to get off the meds that she increased or added. I would NOT recommend her at all.

She was neglectful with treating my illness and came across as insincere. I was always rushed out of her office.

Initial appointment was good and Dr. Vigilar did a good job of assessing my problems. I had a dozen appointments after that which felt rushed and insincere. There was never any follow up after my visits. The few times I had questions and spoke with Dr. Vigilar, she seemed annoyed like I was a waste of time. I would have left sooner but it is diffictul to find a good doctor nowadays. The lack of care and insincerity made me feel worse which is ironic so I eventually moved on and was able to find a better doctor who actually cared.
