Dr Winklestein and the nurses are great! Great personality and bedside manners. The administrative staff is another matter. About every other visit my billing is wrong. Apparently the staff either doesn’t call the insurance company or can’t communicate the proper information. A patient shouldn’t have to do the staff’s job to straighten out their mistakes......year after year after year! Again, the doctor and nurses are great

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, explained everything in detail and were very concerned with my comfort and privacy. The facility was very clean and well lit and they did everything possible to make sure that I felt they were following COVID procedures. I have recommended this facility and Dr. Gonzales to my family and would recommend people in the future.
