Joshua Gonzalez, MD – Advantage Urology

Dr. Gonzalez has my respect and admiration because of his professional work ethics. He saved my husband’s life.
We were impressed about how much he values the health of his patients. For medical results (no matter how urgent) doctors usually call back their patients 3 – 7 days after tests are performed. Dr. Gonzalez called us on the same day (about two hours) after getting the sonogram results and that made all the significant difference.
This doctor is topnotch!

I have been a patient of Dr. Gonzalez for about a year now and I have been thrilled with him from day one. His easy going manner, his knowledge, his skill, his way of putting you at ease. all of theses things make me feel very comfortable and well taken care of on every visit.
I would highly recommend Dr. Gonzales to anyone needing a urologist for any reason. You can rest assured he will listen to everything you say and find a solution.

Dr Gonzalez is an outstanding Doctor and Urologist! He is an expert listener, and came up with an outstanding prognosis. I would HIGHLY recommend this doctor to anyone needing help.

Dr. Gonzalez is extremely knowledgeable and has a very elegant yet warm bedside manner. His passion to address women’s sexual health needs is admirable. Highly recommended!

I have finally found the doctor of my dreams! Believe me, I checked him out very thoroughly on every website that reviews doctors. He has an impressive educational background and credentials (check it out), and great reviews. I was referred to him by a well-​known, respected facility in Santa Monica that specializes in pelvic pain and other female sexual problems. Since I live in Valencia, I did not want to travel to Santa Monica on a regular basis to consult a doctor. Dr. Gonzalez’s office is located in Encino, still not close to Valencia, but definitely closer than Santa Monica, and absolutely worth the trip.
I am a «close-​to-​70-​year-​old female», and since I entered perimenopause 25 years ago, I have been suffering with various female problems ranging from chronic yeast infections, to Bacterial Vaginosis, to chronic UTIs, to vulvodynia, and have consulted way too many specialists, including urologists, gynecologists, and vulvovaginal specialists in the many different states in which I have lived through the years. Luckily, my husband of almost 50 years is extremely compassionate and understanding. Unfortunately, none of the doctors that I consulted helped me solve the problems. I have taken way too many rounds of anti-​yeast infection medications, as well as antibiotics for the UTIs, and nothing has stopped the never-​ending cycle. Each doctor gave me medication which temporarily put a Band-​Aid on each issue, but didn’t permanently solve any of them. Not one of the many specialists that I consulted treated me systemically, but instead focused on each body part involved separately. And, all of the doctors I consulted were well-​respected, and well-​known, for their expertise in «female» problems.
As soon as I had my first appointment with Dr. Gonzalez in January, 2016, I immediately knew that I was in the right place! I liked him immediately, and felt very relaxed and comfortable with him. He looked at me as a whole person, rather than as a bunch of different body parts. He told me what he thought my problem was, but did a lot of blood tests just to make sure that his theory was accurate, and when his theory was proven correct, he developed a personalized regimen of medications for me.
I walked out of my first visit with Dr. Gonzalez elated, knowing that fate had intervened, and I was finally going to get help!
Dr. Gonzalez is extremely easy to talk to, and listens carefully to everything I tell him. He takes a lot of notes, and really hears what I say. I don’t feel embarrassed to talk to him about what many would consider VERY personal female issues that very few women feel comfortable talking about. He has helped me through every step of the process, from consulting with my other doctors, to finding the medicine he prescribes for me at the most affordable price, to determining the exact dosage of medicine to prescribe for me, to responding to me almost immediately with any question that I ask him. He is very accessible in this electronic age, and encourages his patients to ask as many questions as they want. I don’t feel intimated or embarrassed about discussing anything about my diagnosis or treatment with him, and believe me, a lot of my issues have the potential to be very embarrassing, at least to me. It is very obvious that he really cares about his patients, has tremendous compassion, and wants to help them to the best of his ability in the best way that he possibly can. He really has gone the extra mile for me. He is a new breed of doctor in what has become a depersonalized world, and I feel unbelievably lucky to have found him.

My story began 10 years ago taking Propecia for hair loss. 3 years into this journey, I started to noticed performance issues in the bedroom. Luckily for me, I had a very patient girlfriend. At this point, I was losing complete physical connection with my brains ability to have physical function down below in the bedroom. This was taking a huge mental toll on my emotions and my girlfriends self confidence. Fast forward almost 7 years, I seriously started to research this issue. Most men are too embarrassed to talk about this issue or being honest enough with themselves to step forward to do anything. So, I aggressively took a stance to find a solution or answer to my problem. After weeks of research, Dr. Joshua Gonzalez kept popping up on my google searches. My anxieties were at a all time high trying prior to walking in his office to explain my embarrassing problem with a complete stranger. After meeting Dr. Gonzalez, he took away all my stress and anxieties. He was a wealth of information and made me feel very comfortable to discuss my journey in detail. He came up with a great solution that I will be extremely grateful, for many years.
My recommendation to anyone taking Propecia is to STOP TAKING IT!!! It’s a relationship killer and it’s a self destructive pill in a bottle. The harm this pill does, far outweighs any benefit. The company making this pill is literally destroying lives with their false advertising. I would HIGHLY recommend making an appointment to see Dr. Gonzalez if you are experiencing any sexual complications from Propecia or anything else personal. He’s a very professional Doctor who will put that bounce back in your life that is missing.

I have worked with Dr. Gonzalez for approximately one year. He is an excellent urologist, he was able to assess, diagnose and develop a treatment plan for my sexual dysfunction and I am 100% satisfied with the results. As a doctor, he is always available, able to answer any questions, and extremely knowledgeable. The most important trait that Dr. Gonzalez possesses is that he cares for his patients, that has been my experience. His treatment recommendation has changed my sex life for the better, I feel 18 again!

I was referred to Dr. Gonzalez by my general doctor to check on my sexual problems I had and I was suffering from. Before I saw him I went to two other doctors and what they did to me didn’t help me at all and it was just temporary. Now I have been under Dr. Gonzalez’s treatment for 3 months and I should say he’s GOOD, and he knows his job way better than the other doctors. Amazing follow ups and amazing work. Thank you doctor

Dr. Gonzalez is part of a rare breed: doctors who listen. I get the impression that too many doctors out there listen for the first 30 seconds, make a snap judgement based on their «experience,» then go thru the motions of letting you babble on for a while before springing their 30-​second opinion on you. Dr. Gonzalez listened, kept an open mind & solved my issue, whereas the ultra-​recommended specialist I saw before just wanted to prescribe antidepressants (i.e. blew me off as neurotic. Which I’m not. No, really.).
He’s into making you the best you can be – not just OK. In other words, he focuses on quality and pleasure of life. Obviously that’s key when dealing with one’s private parts or sexual health. Just saying.
One more detail: his office is pretty darned smooth, and is the most efficient I’ve ever seen about billing promptly. I really appreciate getting a bill while the details are still fresh in my mind. Seems like most doctor offices wait for months, maybe hoping you won’t contest any billing discrepancies because you don’t remember the details anymore???
Oh, and I just have to mention the nurse who takes blood samples. She’s particularly good. Didn’t feel a thing!

I’m so glad my husband and I found this man! He is patient, has a wonderful bedside manner, not rushed and very pleasant. I am a 50 year old woman, who has been on the pill for over 30 years, I decided to start HRT with an added benefit and magic bullet called Testosterone. Not only has sex improved but everything else got better, i.e., sleep, mood, focus and general well-​being. Dr. Gonzalez’s approach is very modern, precise HRT catered to your individual needs. The end results is better quality of life. I feel like I’m 15 years younger. Thank you again Dr. Gonzalez.

I’ve been Dr. Gonzalez’s patient since August 2014 — I met him when when he was consulting at my doctors office LA. I have since followed him to his new practice in Encino. I find him to be extremely personable and knowledgeable in his field of Urology and he has helped me treat a very chronic case of prostatitis. It’s a condition that is known to be very difficult to treat.
He has tried different traditional pharmaceutical treatments along with more ‘holistic’ herbs etc. and the outcome is that from a pain and discomfort level of an ⁸⁄₉ when I first met him, it’s now down to a ½ — and on many days, no pain at all. I like that he always has new ideas and things to try to improve my situation. He also has excellent connections with a renowned pelvic floor therapist in LA — a treatment I have not explored yet. I would highly recommend him to anyone searching for an expert in urology/​male and female sexual health.

At last ! Modern treatment and therapy for men and women. My life has improved in every aspect, exercise, sleep, sex and just overall happiness, My wife and I are both patients and wouldn’t go anywhere else, now largely due to the friendly and competent office staff and, of course, Dr. Gonzalez.
All this without taking expensive powders made from gluten free, Unicorn tails !
Do not think twice; make an appointment.
