John J. Gonzalez, Jr. Bariatric Surgeon

I absolutely love Dr. Gonzales. He really cares about his patients, and did an amazing job on my surgery. I recommend him to everyone!

\"JJ\" has moved to Northeast Baptist Hospital and I'd follow him wherever he went! He's that wonderful!

will be back to give you the whole story...rnrnDr. Gonzalez is my dr. :)

He is GREAT! He is very nice and very knowledgeable. He really cares for his patients and makes you feel very comfortable with the process and your saftey. I would recommend him to anyone!

I loved Dr Gonzalez as soon as I met him. And was never disapointed at all in my first impression. He is very kind, honest, explains things well. When I first went to Dr Gonzalez, he was with Innova, and to me... they leave much to be desired. Alot of incompetence. He's since changed offices and is now with WeightWise. I really dont know much about their staff and how they handle initial patience and how well they do with getting it all together to get the surgery going. I suggest to anyone having surgery, dont depend on staff members to care enough to make a ton of follow up calls to the insurance. No one cares more about your care than YOU DO. I made all the calls my self, asking if they recieved this and that, what else was needed.. and calling the Drs office asking if this was sent and did you do that. be active in your own care!rnrnDr Gonzalez made sure I was aware of the risks of surgery, as well as the risks for my life and health with out surgery. rnrnHe is an outstanding Dr. And a great person. A+ all the way! rnrnWith Dr Gonzalez, both his competence, and bedside manner were great. I couldn't have asked for better.

My first impression of him was OMG, he is so handsome! My impression never changed. He is still handsome...but all play aside he answered my questions for me and checked on me when I had to go to the hospital for dehydration. He kind of told me in a nice way that I needed to get on track or else.....rnrnHis office staff was cordial. Can't find anything negative to say about him. I would recommend him to others. His emphasis on aftercare is on point. He prepares you for the future. He pointed out the good and the bad rn(risk). I would rate his overall performance as a 10. The surgical competence and bedside manner are both great...WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING!rnrnTawmika Racheal Proctor-EzimakornHouston

My impression of him is he is a wonderful doctor!!rnMy impression has not changed.rnMost of the office staff is great for the most part.rnThere is nothing that he has done so far that I have not liked.rnHe went over all the risks of the surgery as well as there is a book that is given to you on the first day that you go.rnI would rate him a 10 overallrnBoth are great!!!!!!!!!!!rnrn***These are all my personal opoions of Dr John Gonzales and my personal experience and I am making no statements about what other peoplr may experience.**********

I have met with him once I really liked him from the first moment. The whole staff at Innova has been more than helpful and kind. I highly recommend Innova to anyone considering this surgery!!

-My first impression of Dr. J as I call him was \"Wow, he's young? How much experience does he have?\"rn-Now, I am so blessed that I chose him as my surgeon. He's simply the best around and I love him dearly for giving me my life back!rn-His staff at Innova Hospital are fantastic. They are a small office so everyone knows you and is very friendly. You get treated with one on one attention and never feel like a number or a nuisance.rn-If you are thinking of going with Innova and Dr. J know that he is going to work you. He only does surgery if he feels your committed to the lifelong changes you will have to endure. He is hard core and will not tolerate crap. But if you're doing what you're supposed to...he's your #1 fan! Plus, he's absolutely hilarious!rn-There is a very structured aftercare program in place with Innova including support groups.rn-Dr. J wouldn't even operate on me until I brought my weight down some. He was concerned about the size of my liver. He made sure and put me on a strict diet to decrease the size of my liver and thanks to that, my surgery went off smoothly and successfully.rn-If I had to chose Dr. J again, I would do it in a heartbeat. I would recommend him to anyone seriously committed to changing their life for the better. rn-I think both his surgical competence and bedside manner are outstanding and he comes very highly recommended! Thanks Dr. J

I had surgery Oct. 16 2006, Dr. Gonzalez was my doctor, and I had it at Innova hospital. It was a great experience. The doctor was wonderful and the staff at Innova was amazing. Dr. Gonzalez was very honest and caring.
