Charles Gonzales MD - Palm Springs (CA)

5 /5 Dennis Utterberg: I’ve been a patient of Dr. Gonzalez for about two years. My experience with both the doctor and the office staff has been superior to any other providers in the area. The doctor listens to me when I have concerns and will fully explain the pros and cons to all avenues of treatments. I really appreciate his approach. The office staff are very friendly, helpful and just generally want to help the patients with whatever they need!

5 /5 Keith Ference: I have Dr. Gonzales as my primary doctor and I would highly recommend him. He is the first doctor where I just dont feel like I am a number. He takes an extra amount of time to go over all of my test results, as well as asking me lots of questions on how I am feeling. I have never had a primary doctor take this much time with me. You can tell he truly cares about his patients. His staff is always very friendly and helpful.

5 /5 stephan sirard: I was seen by Dr. Gonzales for 2 years, very sad i have to move away from the area. Great Doctor and great staff. Had such a pleasant experiences. Love the staff and Dr. Gonzales, if I ever come back to the area, he will be my Doctor again thats for sure!

5 /5 Bazil Dean: I feel quite comfortable with the medical care I receive from Dr. Charles Gonzales. I had been tossed about doctor to doctor from another agency and it is great to have a reliable, concerned, highly intelligent, knowledgeable physician I can count on. The staff at the office is awesome, kind, personable and efficient. They make sure I understand what is going on. All and all, its an excellent relationship.

5 /5 Jeffrey Cipcic: I began coming to this office 2 years ago after moving to the valley. I have lived with AIDS for 37 years and was with the same Infectious Disease Doc in Michigan for 25 years, so I was terrified at the thought of finding healthcare in SoCal as I had been told it can be a nightmare. Dr. Gonzales is an independent office so it took a little getting used to not being in a large teaching hospital like my last doc. The office is in a great location. Cindy, the office manager, and CC, Dr. G’s Assistant, are competent, helpful and friendly. I really appreciate what they do for their patients. Dr. Gonzalez has been fantastic. (I have read through all these reviews and I must say, I have witnessed some pretty snarky patient’s to both the staff and Dr. G. when they are being patient and kind). I appreciate a leader that sticks up for their team and doesn’t allow disrespect and as most can and should understand, hiring and retaining good help is very difficult. I am a bit of a complicated case. In addition to AIDS, I also suffered a stroke over 10 years ago so managing that component of my health care as well as HIV can be tricky. I am also approaching the big 6-0 so there have been lots of tests that have needed to be run. He has been amazing! Organized, prepared, proactive as well as an excellent communicator….even when he needs to manage time (I understand I’m not his only patient, but I’m a talker, so there was a visit he had to gently tell me we could only cover these certain items at that visit) which anyone should understand. In March I contracted a nasty case of COVID while back in Michigan that lead to pneumonia and some time in the hospital. When I was able to fly home, Dr. G took the reins and did an incredible job of getting me back in good shape. It was incredibly scary but I felt confident he had my back. And he did. I have been extremely happy (and grateful) with Dr. Gonzales and his team (and I’ve seen a LOT of docs over the years) and would highly recommend him as both PCP and an ID provider.
