My Horrible Experience with Dr. John Gonzalez &
Orthopedic Medical Group of Riverside

Disgusting, inhumane, unforgivable are the three words that best describe my experience with, Dr. John Gonzalez, his nurse, Kathy, and the administration and staff of Orthopedic Medical Group of Riverside.
This site is designed to let the public know the shockingly poor treatment provided by Dr. John Gonzalez, his apathetic staff and to shed light on the corporate organization and associated doctors that perpetuate the abuse of patients.
Before considering treatment from Dr. John Gonzalez (whom I would personally avoid), or another doctor at Orthopedic Medical Group of Riverside , take a minute and read through the experience of myself and others.
About Me
My name is Paul Lowry and lived in Chino Hills when this occurred and now reside in Corona, CA.
I am a responsible member of the community, served on PTA’s, support Rotary, and have 20 plus years in website creation and marketing.
Following my diagnoses of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by my primary doctor, I was referred to Dr. John Gonzalez. My experiences with Dr. Gonzalez, his staff and organization were a complete nightmare.
Why I Created This Site
The whole reason this site exists is so others do not have to tolerate what I and other previous patients have endured from the doctors at Orthopedic Medical Group – Specifically Dr. Robert Jaspan, Dr. Sunny Uppal, Dr. Michael Mai, Dr. Peter Sofia, Dr. Jack Akmakjian, Dr. Donald Kim, Dr. Lawrence Walker, Dr. Neil Hallbridge, Dr. William Navigato, Dr. Abraham Argun, Dr. Bryant Leung, Dr. Richard Biama, and Dr. Stephen Suzuki.
Dr. John Gonzalez was my orthopedic surgeon. Read about My Experiences, Other Patients Experiences or Share Your Story.
Please reach out to me through the contact page should you have concerns or an experience you would like to share.
