Do NOT go to this group. They are very nice up front. I broke my foot back in January of 2021. I just now 6-2022 received a bill from them. They took all my co-pay and paid everything the asked when going to my appt. This bill was out of the blue and all they can say is they just processed a claim. This is insane over a year in a half later. Save your money and go to another doctor.

Absolute worst Dr experience of my life. Sat in waiting room over an hour, so late getting me back to my appointment. When appointment was over, left me in a room for over 30 minutes, told me they had filled by prescription and hadn't sent it anywhere. So unorganized. Terrible. Only thing I liked was the Doctor. Otherwise, AWFUL experience.

Everything about the experience was excellent. From check in to departure, the office was a efficient, friendly and professional. Dr. Joel Gonzales is a comforting and concise physician. His expertise flows easily from introduction to visit conclusion. My thanks to all the wonderful staff and Dr. Gonzales. Gerald Crenshaw

I had a great first visit with Dr Parker. He explained what was happening with the arthritis in my knee. He explained options and the course of action we should take. He was honest and I really liked his analogy that due to my condition I am on a track for knee replacement but I could do things to slow down or speed up the train. He understood my pain issue and laid out a plan to help. I am very happy I picked Dr Parker.
