Usually I am scheduled with the nurse practitioner. The first time I was scheduled with Dr. Gonzales, she spoke to me in such a patronizing manner even though I was there just to get some paperwork filled out for school. I would tell her things and she wouldn't listen, all for her to later then ask why I didn't do XYZ even though I had just explained it. In person, the office staff seems fine, but out of the three times I've called over the phones, I was hung up by them twice. Both times I had no idea why they just randomly hang up and when I'd call back, they'd pretend that they had no clue what I was talking about. Now that I am older and more financially independent, I was finally able to choose a PCP via my own research that has listened to me and has extremely kind staff. Maybe this office works for some, but my experiences here always made me avoid seeing my PCP for as long as possible. read more

I recently selected Dr. Michelle Gonzales as my Primary physician since Scripps no longer accepts my insurance. My appointments with her and Maurine Satterwhite, Nurse Practitioner were excellent! They are extremely knowledgeable, very efficient, and caring! It is never easy switching insurance providers, but I feel relieved that I made a great quality choice for my husband and myself as their new patients. The staff is also nice and the location is in a beautiful, safe area of Oceanside near my home. They are affiliated with Optum Insurance and they also offer a patient online secure portal to expedite more communication etc. The lab is close by and they are also networked with Tri-City Hospital, a local Urgent Care facility, and Specialists located within a few miles from their office. Thank you! Gail K. Oceanside read more

I have been a patient of Dr Gonzales for a couple of years now, and I have been quite pleasantly surprised with her bedside manner and degree of attentiveness to my concerns. I understand that primary care providers are pressured to fit a large number of patients on their daily office schedule, but I never feel that Dr G is rushed when I am there for a visit. I have received a prompt response when I message the office with prescription and scheduling requests, and have had no difficulty scheduling appointments. Overall, I am very happy with the care she provides as a PCP. read more

My husband and I are patients of DR Gonzales for eight years now and extremely pleased with the proficient health care provided. DR Gonzales is prompt, caring, knowledgeable and listens to concerns without rushing. We appreciate her current research knowledge, care plans and teaching applicable to current medical concerns resulting in safe managed health care. She responds promptly to lab results, refill requests and messages. DR Michelle is a rockstar MD and We highly recommend her to anyone seeking a new MD with expertise in care and bedside manner. read more

I've been going to Dr Michelle Gonzalez for 10 years. She has a good bedside manner. She's very thorough and answers all your questions. She has a friendly staff. Dr Gonzalez is usually booked, but her staff manages to squeeze me in when needed. read more

When I let her know that I was feeling like she was talking down to me, she blamed me. While I cried through the rest of our appointment she didn't so much as offer me a tissue. Her advice leaned toward "alternative" medicine and less toward science during my previous visit, which is not my thing, but I didn't want to hunt down another doc and I thought my visit was straight forward. My mistake! Editing to add that it's been two years since I last saw her and I'm still awed by how much she shamed me and talked down to me. When people talk about their doctors I flash back to that awful experience. When someone is sobbing in your office you should be kind, not rude and defensive. read more

Dr. Michelle and her staff have always been extremely kind, and accommodating. Visiting a doctor always seems like such a chore, but the girls handling the scheduling are kind and patient. The actual visit itself whether it be in person or online has always been very streamlined and friendly. I've had a quick turnaround on any prescription needs and referrals even during these covid times. I highly recommend. read more

This office deserves a "no star" rating. My mother called to see if Dr. Gonzales was accepting new patients. She was asked for her age. When my mother told her, the receptionist said, "Oh no, we're not accepting new patients." What the!?? After reading some other reviews, looks like the receptionist did my mother a favor after all. Mindblowing! read more

Dr. Michelle Gonzales is a Godsend ! After relocating from Northern California to Oceanside last year, I was grateful when I found Dr. Gonzales as my new PCP. She spent a lot of time getting to know me and was very thorough with referring me to certain specialists for my ongoing medical care. Dr. Gonzales is very knowledgeable and kind and a wonderful Physician. I am so thankful for her and her medical team of associates. read more

top notch service. she always seems to squeeze me in when her staff says she's fully booked . I do not go to the doctors often but when I do I come here for excellent care. I have been seeing her for years , that means only a few times but its always a pleasant visit. I hope next time I visit I'm out and fixed in a jiffy. read more

Horrible. She advertises as a full time doctor. ... Then bam....oh no, I am only part time, and if you want to see a doctor. ....good luck....you'd be lucky to get an appointment a month out or more. Shame on her, and shame on health net. I thought false advertising was illegal? It means nothing to this "doctor" I have never felt better about dropping a doctor and insurance company , then I do about dropping this dynamic duo. Good riddance. read more

My primary care physician retired a while ago, and I have been looking for a new one for a while, and I am so happy I found Dr. Gonzales. She is a wonderful doctor as she is a very good listener and terrific at putting everything together. Dr. Gonzales spent a lot of time with me going over all my lab results and explaining everything in detail. Additionally, the office staff are very professional and helpful when you call in. If you need a wonderful primary care physician and you live in North county, I highly recommend Dr. Gonzales! read more

Been with Dr Gonzales for 17 years; kind and down to earth. I love her!

The absolute worst doctor that I have ever seen in my entire life. Cold as ice and mean as ever. She has no compassion and she acts as though she is a superior being. No manners, kindness, or care for her patients. She has a real attitude problem and should not be in medicine. read more

She doesn't listen to you. I wish I wouldn't have picked her but I had just moved here and didn't know any better. She's not helpful. I had fasting blood work done. Several numbers were off. She wasn't the least bit concerned. I knew they were off because my last doctor educated me on it. And I educated myself on it. When I asked her about the specific numbers, she acted like I was crazy. She's not in it for the love and care of people that's for sure. She doesn't take any time to get to know you. Just in and out quick as she can. I will be changing during enrollment time. read more

I met Dr. Gonzales for the first time this week and was very impressed! She was very thorough, extremely courteous and listened intently to every concern. I liked her enough to ask if she was accepting new patients, so I could refer my patients to her when they need to see a primary care doctor. I am shocked by some of the negative reviews on here, because I couldn't have been happier and I am very picky.... I'm a doctor and hold those in the profession to higher standards than most. read more

I've been a patient for over 3 years now and have found Dr Gonzales, her nurse practitioner, and her staff to be very professional and hard working. When I have urgent needs, the office is always able to get me an appointment. I have recommended her to all my friends and family. read more

Dr. Gonzales is wonderful! She was my PCP over 10 years ago, but due to a change in insurance, I had to get a different doctor. Since I have had another insurance change, I went back to her and just had my "new patient" appointment, followed by a full blood lab/physical. She went through all of my numbers thoroughly and explained what it all meant. I don't understand why others have been upset that she is "part-time". She has every right to choose when she wants to work and balance her time for what's best for her family. I would recommend her to others and had a very positive, professional experience. read more

BEWARE,BEWARE,BEWARE!!! Have you asked for your PATIENT RECORDS yet? Once you do, I believe your symptoms are not documented and are minimized (at best). I pulled my Records and I know of another patient whom has pulled their records. It appears to be Dr. Gonzales PRACTICE is to PRACTICE NON-CARING PATIENT CARE! BEWARE,BEWARE,BEWARE!!! read more

Dr. Michelle Gonzales has been my Primary Care Doctor since 2007. She is the very best Doctor I have ever had. More like a family member, as I check with her, before I do anything different. Dr. Gonzales customizes my care, & listens carefully to all my questions & concerns, as I always bring a long list to each appointment. I would never want to see any other Doctor. read more

Dr was late coming into appointment. Never acknowledged her tardiness. When i explained the information she was giving me was not helpful, she just said i haven't done it properly. She did not listen to my concerns or problem. When i expressed my dissatisfaction she became snippy and even laughed at my frustration with her. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. She misdiagnosed my mother. She won't refer you when you request a specialist. My mother had a basal cell carcinoma that was diagnosed by another doctor. Dr. Gonzalez misdiagnosed it for 2 years. She tried burning it off. Now my mom has a crater in her face because of the length of time that lapsed due to Dr. Gonzalez. Do not choose her as your primary care! She is not qualified! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Gonzales for many years and have always received wonderful care from her, her PA Maurine Satterwhit, and her whole staff. They treat me with respect, listen to me carefully, and are not afraid to think "outside the box" , including using natural remedies, to figure out and treat my issues. I have Parkinson's Disease and need excellent doctors. I would recommend Dr Gonzales to anyone. read more

Dont even consider of getting Dr Gonzales as your Primary Doctor. Shes horible i had an appointment today and tried to get a prescrition for some new pills that are FDA approved for weightloss and she didnt even consider it she said straight out no and she made me feal like i had to convince her so i could get them. Really bad experince hard to get an appointment dont even have late appointmnets. So glad i dropped her i dont recomend her. read more

Don't be fooled by the other reviews, Dr. Gonzales is an amazing Dr! I was worried about a certain medication I was taking and she called me HERSELF to reassure me on every question, side-effects I felt, what I was experiencing, everything! She took her time on the phone with me to reassure that I was going to be fine. I got in with her the next day and she spent probably more than a half hour listening to everything I had to say. It was like taking to a friend. Except this friend is very knowledgable. She had answers for all my questions. I have been going here for about 4 years now & I don't plan on changing. Plus all the staff is friendly & helpful as well. read more
