We have been taking our children to Dr Gene Gonzales, MD for approximately 2 and a half years.
We have been very pleased with Dr. Gonzales. She is VERY thorough and she is an amazing pediatrician! She asks a lot of questions and listens to all of our concerns. We know she won't ever miss anything little. In fact we took our son in when he had the flu last winter. She looked him over and gave us a detailed list of what we would need to do in order to make sure he did not have to be admitted to the hospital. She left the room and shut the door and at that moment our son let out a terrible cough. She immediately walked back in the room because she heard what the cough sounded like and told us he also had croup. If she was not attentive like she is she would not have heard my son's cough from outside the room and we wouldn't have known he had croup which could have been a bad situation. It is important for me to tell you that she is not an ""In and Out"" kind of doctor. When I say thorough I mean she takes her time with her patients. We will often be there for about an hour and a half. For me, I don't mind at all. My children are my #1 priority and I am more than fine with the amount of time she spends with us. We also really like the nurse she has working with her on a regular basis.
The front office is always running smoothly. We have never had any issues with making appointments or billing. They all seem to be very efficient.
However my daughter was sick with a really bad cold just recently. We called and could not get an early appointment with Dr. Gonzales so we opted to see another available doctor instead. My husband took her in so I am not sure of the doctors name but he said that she was a bit condescending and that he was not very impressed with her. I say this because I am not sure of the other doctors at the practice.
My son loves going to see Dr. Gonzales! This says a lot;-)
