Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He just doesn't care about his patients much. Just another doctor writing scripts and taking money.

I only rated him one star because zero is not an option. This man should not be practicing. Not only is he without compassion or respect for his patients, but he has actually put my daughter in danger on two separate occasions. He takes no responsibility and has no interest in helping a patient. His office takes more than a week to respond— CVS tried to reach him for a full week, and never heard back. Better to have no doctor at all than to put any hope or trust in Gomez.

Unfortunately had to make an appointment with this neurologist because I was left looking for new neurologist due to certain circumstances. The practice agreed to take care of my prescriptions, I made an appointment a few months out with Dr Gomez in hopes I found a neurologist— before ever meeting me, never spoke with me, this man cut one of my prescriptions that I have been on for quite some time, down to a much lower dose. I called the office and they had no comment. How does a doctor mess with an epileptics medication without ever meeting them? Appalling.

I was referred to Dr. Gomez by my former neurologist as he was closing his practice and moving to Texas. I called and made an appointment thinking I was seeing Dr. Gomez and when I got there I was seen by a female physician who apparently is no longer there. I have tried to get in with Dr. Gomez only to be told he is not taking new patients. In addition, they can't provide me with a referral to another Dr. The entire medical community is nothing but a joke. They told me to call my primary doctor, who apparently walked out of his practice 2 months ago also. Now I struggle to find a new primary and neurologist and Dr. Gomez's office could care less..

I have received care from Dr. Gomez for two years now. He has always been responsive to my concerns and takes care with any medication adjustments. I can even text him if a tweak should be needed. Not expected to just wait for the next appointment. No money in that. Just patient care driven, in my opinion. I hate neuropathy pain but greatly respect Dr. Gomez.

Dr. Gomez is a great neurologist. I've been seeing him for more than 2 years and he is quick to get back to you and is progressive. He is a concerned physician and listens to all my issues. He is very present during a routine visit. I would highly recommend him.

HIs staff did the best they could - but really - he operated like he is officing in the back of a van - ready to pull out anytime. He is disheveled, and not in the distracted genius way - more in the "I care nothing about patients, certainly not enough to be prepared for their visit" way. He prescribed meds that have a KNOWN interaction with my current meds; which, if he READ my file, he would have seen that I was currently taking. When I called his office to tell him he refused to call back

He was abusive! Just a mean spirited person. Was ill prepared, Ill informed. His medical care was like dealing with a customer service rep for lost baggage at the airport - yup, that bad! Just shot out responses without listening to questions and (no exageration) yelled at me when I asked questions.

Gomez ordered lab test, then failed to report alarming positive result (subdural hematoma) for nearly 6 weeks. In the interim, patient got on a plane, exposing himself to low pressures which needed to be avoided given his (unknown to him) condition. Subsequent to plane flight, patient experienced fresh subdural bleeding. It is appalling that patient was not told in a timely fashion by this doctor that the test showed subdural hematoma and that he should avoid plane travel.

I first met Dr Gomez when his office did an EMG for the other Neuro I was seeing. I found him very pleasant and courteous. My neurologist office closed and I chose to go here. I was first seen by Tracy and she decided to do a skin biopsy for sfn because of some of the symptoms I was having that had been undiagnosed by 2 previous neuros. The biopsy came back revealing sfn. I now have had my care through Dr Gomez and am grateful their office finally gave me some answers.

If I could leave a negative 5 for his staff I would and that would be generous. His staff is the worst I've ever encountered. I've left 5 messages in the last week and no one has had the decency to return my calls. They are negligent, misinformed, uncaring, misguided, uncourteous, unresponsive and lack social skills. Don't expect calls back and if you need any kind of documentation make sure you ask for it a month in advance cause you'll never get it by your deadline.

Overall just don't go here, I needed Botox for my migraines.. They have massage tables as patient beds in their rooms.. I needed an appointment as my insurance was coming to an end at the end of December and i called the office at the end of November to set this up. I was already seen for Botox once there. His secretary told me that its hard to get him to set up a date for him to do it, staff is rude and Dr Gomez ultimately ended up yelling at me and told me he would no longer see me.
