Meet Dr. Gonzalez

"I am drawn to pediatric surgery by the breadth of cases that I can see in a single day. I enjoy both the variety in types of cases and the types of patients ranging from acute outpatient conditions to long standing conditions requiring long term follow-up to prenatal consults for expecting parents. Over the course of my career, I have developed an affinity for minimally invasive surgical techniques, including laparoscopy and thoracoscopy."

My Journey to Pediatric Surgery

"My passion for healthcare stemmed from seeing my grandparents have trouble navigating through complex medical systems as non-English speakers. I recall the difficulty they had understanding medical providers, which led to a poor understanding of their own healthcare needs. As a result, I developed a passion for ensuring that patients and their caregivers are armed with as much knowledge as possible in order to take an active role in their health. In addition to that, I really enjoy getting to know patients and their caregivers to fully understand what their needs are as patients. As a Pediatric Surgeon, I am humbled every day by the opportunity to care for babies and children."
