Patient Reviews
May 14, 2024
Dr. Francis Gonzales and his team at UCSD Hospital are the absolute best! Highest quality of care and professionalism possible.I just had my left knee arthroplasty (joint replacement) procedure. I will admit it took a long time to get here. I have friends who had their procedures done here in San Diego at other hospitals with a much lower wait time. However, the care that they received was NO WHERE close to what I received at UCSD.You are the world's best and I am so lucky you are my doctor.
