Dr. Gonzales performed knee replacement on my left knee. I am very satisfied with the results and I found him to be caring, interested in my progress and an all around fine Dr. I would recommend him to anyone needing a knee replacement.

Dr. Gonzales performed a total knee replacement on my right knee in 2018 and will be doing the other knee soon. The first one was a huge success and I now have full range of motion and no more pain and have no worries about the next one. There was no pain in the hospital and was discharged the next day. Rehab was a long haul but very successful outcome. I would highly recommend Dr. Gonzales for this procedure.

This doctor is very full of himself, stating that he is the best. He has no consideration or compassion for the pain he causes. In cases that involve risks, he will continue to just lead a person on, then just hours before surgery, cancel it all. He will flat out lie to a person. There is NO way this doctor can be considered "good". I would never recommend him.

I am 70+. I had a hip replaced several years ago. It is perfect. I was doing light exercise in a month and was back to competing in three months. I make no concessions for the hip and I usually don't remember that I had anything done. I have been returned 1005 back to normal.
Gonzales was terrific! thoughtfully explained procedures and consequences and apparently did a spectacularly successful hip replacement.
Dr. Gonzales, should you ever read this--- Thank you!!

This surgeon was recommended by a anesthesia MD that is a friend of my son's. He was clear on the procedure and expected outcome. Since I am a RN, I did significant research on who and where I would have my surgery done. I wanted the anterior approach by an experienced surgron due to expected faster recovery and a hospital with low infection rate. He fit the bill. I am very pleased with my decision and outcome. Great hospital staff, if I ever need the other hip replaced, Dr. Francis Gonzales!!
