Dr Gonzalez is a fabulous Doctor. He saved my life! Without his knowledge & capabilities I would not be walking today! He is caring, compassionate, patient, & highly trained. In addition, his staff is wonderful. I have never had a problem getting an appointment & never had a long wait at my appointment. His staff was always friendly, polite, and made me feel welcome. I would and have, recommended Dr Gonzalez many, many times and will always do so. I am enjoying life because of him!

After 3 years of intolerance to Florida's humid climate post ciguatera poisoning and being suggested by another neurologist to move to a dryer climate, I have finally found relief from Stella Ganglion shots performed by Dr. Gonzàlez.

Now I can go back to an active outdoor lifestyle inclusive of fishing, scuba diving, and long walks outdoors. Dr. Gonzàlez exudes confidence and passion for medical science and is compassionate to his patients. He takes time to explain the process, expectations and then asks during each and every session for feedback on how well I felt the treatment is responding. My insurance was initially not going to cover the procedure, but due to the testimony from Dr. Gonzàlez and other Doctors as to my well-being, insurance did finally decide to cover the expense. What a life changer this medical procedure was. My body can now regulate, properly in humidity, and all tingling sensations from fingertips to shoulders are now gone. I can now enjoy my life in Florida to its fullest! My quality of life is now better than I would have ever expected. Thank you, Dr. Gonzàlez!

rhuemetologists, orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, psychiatrists, internists, & many others-too many to remember. I moved here a few months ago & heard he was the best. He is the best pain management Dr. I have seen. As busy as he is he takes the time to ask ?'s, listen to all medical issues, not just pain from my spine. I am in bad shape, but feel if he can help me, he will.I would highly recocommend him

patients with pain. He is a skilled spine injection physician and has helped me for many years. They always try the least strong long medicine or medication available before you go on anything stronger which is so wise these days. This doctor follows you everywhere you go if you happen to be in the hospital he follows you in the hospital as he did my husband and he has been our family friend for years. We regard them highly and with out any reservation! You are the best Dr. G!!

They really work as a team and in a professional way.
