This was my first appointment with Dr. Gonzalez. He did not seem very happy that I am a thinking person that asked a lot of clarifying questions. He said because I'm not a surgical candidate, my goal is just to manage my pain/condition moving forward. He asked if I would be ok managing with the pain I have now going forward (which obviously I am not, which is why I'm seeking help) and when I explained I am only in my 20s and do not want to be in pain the rest of my life, he essentially implied that that is what I was going to deal with. I am not saying I want a doctor to lie to me and tell me 100% I'm going to be cured, but I do want a doctor that I feel is on my team and will do whatever they can to help me heal. Not this guy.

He treats both athletes and non-athletes with a variety of musculoskeletal injuries including shoulder, knee, and back pain resulting from acute or chronic injuries.

Furthermore, Dr. Gonzalez has fellowship training and expertise in image-guided injections using fluoroscopy (x-ray) of the spine and peripheral joints (knee, hip, and shoulder).
