    I didn’t feel comfortable with him. He was too fast and made me nervous. I know I’m use to Dr Villarreal but I’m not comfortable going with Mr Gonzales again. It may be due to a TBI I received from a car accident I had and am now suffering from that. I’ve seen Mr Gonzales before and wasn’t happy with him. I don’t usually complain but I didn’t get to talk to him about things I wanted to ask him. Felt to rushed. Would like to see another primary doctor.
