Dr. Michael Raymund Castaneda Gonzales, MD

My wife Cynthia Bartolino has been going to dr gonzales about a year.very happy good doctor. Pay deducibile and done. This time they did a eye exam was not told of extra charge. Get bill 725.00. Said they for got to pre aprove . So is that her fault dont think so. Now they have in collections. I told we would have not done exam. They do same eye exam at costco 150.00 THAT IS HOW A CRIMINALE DOES BUSSINESS. HOPE NO ONE ELESE GETS SCREWED BY THIS GUY

I had hyperthyroidism and severe neck pain - another doctor wanted me to see a surgeon but I sought a second opinion with Dr. Gonzales - he correctly diagnosed me with subacute thyroiditis and placed me on steroids and nsaids due to severe thyroid swelling and pain. I got better and my labs returned to normal finally

I Have a history of CHF and Afib aside from diabetes saw Dr. Gonzales. He was well informed of the guidelines for CHF and reviewed my meds. He placed me on medications that would help with weight loss and reduce CV risk. My weight has decreased and I feel better. My a1c dropped from 10 to 6%. He is awesome

My first visit with Dr. Gonzales was great, but the most recent one? Not so much. I feel as if he doesn't take me seriously when I express concerns about side effects from certain medications. He recently prescribed me Actos which I remembered I didn't handle well before, I started experiencing horrible nausea, head-splitting headaches and more. I brought these things up to him and he quickly dismissed me saying that Actos doesn't cause these things, when I did my own research and they came up on the first page. It's made me feel as if I can't trust him. I've stopped the medication since it makes me feel worse. I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

I have severe osteoporosis and I didn’t take the advice of other doctors because I was scared. Dr. Gonzales listened to me and explained to me the choices for severe osteoporosis and gave me time to decide. He even spoke to my son and daughter and called them on the weekend. I chose this bone building drug and after 3 months my labs show I was making new bone. Dr. Gonzales really helped me a lot and showed patience and respect.

Dr. Gonzales placed an Eversense CGM which has helped me keep my sugars under control. With my pump and my CGM I have better control of my sugars

I have type 1 diabetes and do field work and insulin pumps and I don’t mix well. Dr. Gonzales put me on inhaled insulin and an eversense CGM and it has done wonders for my sugar control. I still inject tresiba. But I don’t have to worry too much about my highs or lows and about losing stuff at work

Was seeing another doctor and told I was type 2 because I was overweight. Pills didn’t work and I got really sick went to northern Nevada hospital. I saw Dr. Gonzales and he reviewed my history and got some labs and I came back a week later and he told me I was misdiagnosed as type 2 but I really had type 1 and LADA. He already suspected this based on my history and placed me on insulin 4 times a day but it has worked. He helped me get a glucose sensor and it has changed my life. Dr. Gonzales is awesome. He takes time with you. Listens to you but you have to listen to his recommendations because he knows his stuff. Hope he stays here because I would not be alive if he didn’t fix my diabetes

I had a thyroid nodule that was biopsied and proven to have thyroid cancer. Dr. Gonzales sent me to the right surgeon and predicted correctly that my lymph nodes needed to be removed. 2 out of 8 were positive for cancer and are gone now. He has scheduled me for further therapy to reduce thyroid cancer recurrence. He even took extra steps prior to thyroid cancer surgery and found my calcium and parathyroid hormones were abnormal and he helped fixed two problems with one surgery. Dr. Gonzales was very prompt, on time and professional. He called me about results and explained the steps. Great great doctor.

I am a forgetful person. My a1c was really high because I kept forgetting to take this once weekly shot and other meds that were twice a day. I kept missing the second pill. Dr. Gonzales changed my regimen so that my insulin and that once weekly shot was in a combination shot all in one and then he changed my twice a day meds to 24 hr XR diabetes meds that I just had to take once in the morning. My a1c is now better because I just take all the meds in the morning and I dont forget them anymore. Dr. Gonzales listened to my problems and understood me and worked with me to fix my regimen despite my forgetful nature.
