Dr. Gonzales believes every patient is unique and deserves a treatment plan that fits their specific needs and goals. “I like to involve my patients in the decision-making process. I provide them with clear information about their diagnosis so they can make confident, informed decisions. Treatment plans are not one-size-fits-all— they’re tailored to each patient’s goals and abilities.”
