His staff always returns phones calls and they keep me informed. During our initial encounter he took my history carefully and recommended a test that should be done because of my age and history. Thank God he did, it revealed some concerning issues that I am now able to deal with. He was the first doctor to insist on this test. I believe Dr. Gonzales has his patients best interest at heart and I like the fact that he is in a solo practice and not corporate. I never feel rushed.

Do not go over your 10 min Only 3 issues per appt. The office feels oppressed. No one looks happy and in 3 years no one has stayed My Truth : I really don't want to bash Dr Gonzalez and I understand he somehow has logic in his treatment of his patients ( me ) My friends in PS have asked me if it's true that he isn't friendly. My response is always " I just want a Doctor who listens and helps me stay within a good range of Blood Pressure etc My first year I found him aloof and controlling My second year he looked like he must have read some of his Yelp reviews and was trying to smile and dare I say it be kind And then came this year. I listed my issues as asked but he looked me in the eye and said I was out of time ( 10 minutes ). Make another appointment and come back. I sincerely thought he was joking He was serious. I left sad and humiliated. I'm 70 years old and not a generally sick or needy person I can honestly say I'm not coming back. Nobody especially a person with Great insurance and moderate intelligence should ever be treated like this. Again I'm not bashing him and maybe he is the Dr for you but being treated with dignity ( like his commercials on KGay ) is of paramount concern I wish him well and thank him for the 3 years he allowed my those 10 minute visits.

August 7, 2025…read more Update. I am writing this letter to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care I continue to consistently receive from Dr. Stanley and his outstanding team--especially Paul (NP) and the front desk medical assistants. Whenever I have an appointment with Paul, despite his demanding schedule, he always takes the time to truly listen to my concerns, answer all of my questions, and clearly explain the next steps for monitoring my health. His attentiveness and professionalism make me feel heard, respected, and an active participant in the quality of care I'm receiving. I also want to commend the front desk staff for making appointment scheduling smooth and accommodating. On several occasions, they've helped me secure earlier appointments when needed. Their prompt attention, courteous manner, and strong commitment to patient care are genuinely valued--and, most importantly, reliably consistent. Additionally, I've experienced excellent follow-up after appointments--whether regarding test results, treatment plans, or referrals to specialists. Communication has always been clear, timely, and supportive, which is essential for making informed decisions about my health. When I've been referred to outside specialists for procedures, the team has been consistently aware of the outcomes and continues to monitor my overall care. I genuinely feel that my medical care is being watched closely, and I'm thankful for that level of attention. Another aspect I truly appreciate is how easy it is to renew my prescriptions--whether locally at my pharmacy or through online systems. The process is efficient, reliable, and always handled with care, which brings me great peace of mind. Thanks to these effective communication channels and a coordinated team approach, I've never felt uncertain or frustrated. The staff consistently goes above and beyond to ensure I feel cared for and informed at every step. Dr. Stanley and Paul, thank you for your continued dedication, warmth, and high standard of care. I'm grateful to be in such capable hands and proud to be your patient. With Appreciation, David Maas

I went to Dr. Gorman for a year. It took a long time to get an appointment. Even though he was on…read moreinsurance as my doctor of record, they would not schedule an appointment until I had a little plastic card. My appointment was thorough. He made a good suggestion to move the time I take my blood pressure meds to avoid fatigue. That was a good suggestion. In December, I started receiving calls that I needed to pay $1500 per year to have care in his practice. I needed several referrals at my appointment. The one for imagining and bone density was fine. Dermatology was done incorrectly. When you call, you leave a message. By the time the Dematology referral was fixed, I was leaving on a trip. The sleep study to diagnose sleep apnea was never properly completed. The referral to cardiology was fine. 50% seemed too low to pay $1500 for services. I moved to Eisenhower 365. My new doc reviewed the same scan Dr. Gorman saw as fine. He deemed it not all fine and is sending me for a biopsy for cancer screening. If I in fact have cancer, it would have been nice to know a year ago. It could explain the fatigue. I pray the outcome is ok. I guess he did me a favor by chasing me away to get better services.

I believe he took a keen interest in my health. When I had Covid he called me at home. Recently with a leg infection he also called, on Thanksgiving, to tell me what I needed to do. This Dr. gives wonderful advice, which over the last few years I'm working to establish in my health routine. I may not be the best patient, but he is one of the best doctors. So why am I leaving? It is the health insurance, and that United Health Care did away with my policy. I can recommend Dr. De La Cuesta to anyone looking for a new Dr. Whether you have just moved to Palm Springs Area or , like me, have an insurance change I know you will be in good hands in his care. The office is well run. It is very efficient. Also very polite. I can say that also for the the two nurses who assist. Aaron is always polite, and also efficient. Everyone in this office is well trained and seemingly happy with their work. I can only hope my new Dr. will leave me with the same thoughts.

Before anything else, it's important to say that Dr. Corzano is an excellent physician. He's the…read morereason I remained a patient for years, dating back to his transition from Bayshire Medical to Desert Oasis. This review, however, is not about his care--it's about the staggering dysfunction of the office and the broader Desert Oasis Medical organization. I called to schedule my annual physical and was told the next available appointment that worked with my schedule was four months out. Not ideal, but I accepted it and planned accordingly. A week before the appointment, the office called to request a full blood panel in advance--perfectly reasonable. I went in promptly and completed the labs as instructed. Less than 48 hours before my appointment, I received a call informing me that Desert Oasis had decided to stop accepting my UnitedHealthcare insurance plan. After keeping me on the schedule for four months--and after directing me to complete pre-appointment lab work--they chose that moment to effectively drop me from care. What made this worse was the complete lack of professionalism in how it was handled. The staff member I spoke with showed no empathy, offered no solutions, and made no effort to retain me as a patient. There was no discussion of interim options, no offer to proceed on a cash basis, nothing. Just a flat, indifferent dismissal. I contacted UnitedHealthcare, who confirmed that Dr. Corzano is in-network under my plan. When I relayed this back to the office, I was again told--without explanation or curiosity--that the issue was on the insurer's end and that I was simply no longer accepted. Again, no attempt to resolve, clarify, or assist. It gets worse. I later learned that Desert Oasis is "grandfathering" certain patients with the exact same UnitedHealthcare plan--yet for reasons no one could explain, I was excluded. Despite being a long-standing patient, I was told I don't visit often enough. Apparently, maintaining good health is now grounds for dismissal. After waiting four months, completing requested lab work, and acting in good faith at every step, I'm left scrambling to piece together continuity of care because of an opaque and arbitrarily enforced policy. This isn't just poor administration--it's a fundamental failure of patient management and basic professional responsibility. Desert Oasis Medical has turned what should be routine preventive care into a bureaucratic mess. It's difficult not to view this as a stark example of the priorities of a for-profit medical system--where patient relationships and continuity of care are secondary to opaque policies and indifferent administration.

He refused to see me because forgiveness goes against his policy. Aren't patients allowed any understanding? Not according to this place! They basically accused me of lying/not calling and all they had to do was check with their answering service. Strict policies of refusing rescheduling if appointment is missed. Unable to listen to reason for missed appointment. Denies having an answering service message. The black nurse is extremely unprofessional and belligerent from the very first conversation.
