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.

Dr. Gonchigar is a fantastic pain specialist
Dr. Gonchigar performed an epidural steroid injection to relieve sciatic nerve pain resulting from a herniated disc. Dr. Gonchigar performed this procedure quickly and precisely and the resulting relief was fast. His staff are kind and helpful as well.

Caring, compassionate, and a great sense of humor. Takes time to listen to you and to explain treatment options thoroughly.

I would recommend Dr. Gonchigar to any future patient in chronic pain. He was detailed in his questions and examination and was very patient and answered everything in detail. It was one of the best doctor office experiences I had.

I was a patient for 7 years but I was discharged from the practice because I questioned the billing. I was being billed as if I was being seen by a doctor every month for a prescription refill but I was seen by a pa or other staff members. The insurance company was billed over$196.00 per visit. They don't care about the patient. I'm on limited disability income and I can't afford the extra cost
