Report
Today was my first day with DR. Gonzlez after having horrible experiences with Dr. Cesar Matos and the horrible reviews that Dr. Igoa has listed from this point back to 3 years ago(appalling). I had this condition for 20 years now and of all my psychiatrists DO NOT COME CLOSE to DR. Tomas Gonzlez. My PDA(does not allow me to socialize with others well and the front Receptionist was very pleasant and hospitable. I got here and was immediately hit with a slight anxiety attack but she placed me in a room for 5 minutes and was seen by DR. In 10 minutes . Talk about personal and the best attention

Dr. Gonzalez is the best physician!! He is truly an expert in his field and cares deeply about his patients, and it shows. No matter the time or day, he makes himself accessible to his patients, he even answers his office phone himself if he can! This is so comforting to me. I cant thank him enough for his help. Thank you Dr. Gonzalez for all that you do.
