    Dr. Gonsalves is very forthcoming, pleasant and answered all my questions. He is the only doctor that I have seen that actually took the time to diagnose the problem in my knee which I had replaced 7 years ago. I wish all the doctors that I see where as honest and caring as Dr. Gonsalves. I highly recommend going to see him before you have any knee replacements done.
