Dr. Gonzalez is very informative. And listens to all of my concerns to come up with the proper treatment. He has given me great advice for my back moving forward.

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.

Terrible patient care. Absolutely dissatisfied with my visit 40 years plus of being in healthcare and I was completely disrespected as a patient. I would appreciate a phone call of the manager of this department to share my experience today. I’m very sad to report this. the front desk staff was perfect

Dr Gonzalez takes his time to review your records and discuss treatment options. I never feel rushed.

He has subspecialty certification in Sports Medicine, Electrodiagnostic Medicine, and Pain Medicine. 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.

Dr. Gonzalez integrates non-invasive musculoskeletal ultrasound in the office to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of many conditions affecting the joints, ligaments, and tendons of the body. 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).
Dr. Gonzalez has extensive experience in managing athletic and sports-related injuries. Prior to starting practice in New Jersey, Dr. Gonzalez was the head team physician for five public schools in Virginia and team physician for Hampton University (Division 1-FCS).
