Dr. Gomez made my son feel comfortable with the visit. He explained everything in detail which put our minds at ease regarding his neck pain. He gave him exercises to try and suggested if the pain continues to come back for a follow-up visit. My daughter also sees Dr.Gomez, so I am highly confident in his ability.

Mi experiencia fue muy buena, El doctor le explica muy bien y el tiempo de espera no es nada la cita era a las 9:00 y ya a las 9:25 estaba afuera.
Verified patient
The office is located at a close proximity to where we live and the place is very spacious, clean and inviting. there is ample parking space on the exterior and the staff was friendly . This was our first visit to this office and with this physician. The doctor was very well spoken, patient and treated us with respect. I appreciate the time that he gave us and the explanations that he gave to my son and I. I would go back to see him again for my son Adonis' care if needed in the future or for a follow-up.
Verified patient
The physician assistant performed a thorough physical assessment on my daughter, but the orthopedist dismissed all of our concerns very quickly and did not think we needed any interventions but physical therapy.
