Gonstead Physical Medicine: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Edgar is so nice and selena is very professional. Jay is welcoming and the front desk staff is always on point. The docs know what they are doing here!
Fantastic experience: When I first came to Gonstead, I was desperate for help. My pain level, ( in my entire back) was at a 10. It was awful. Since then, seeing Doctor John and staff, and with having decompression, I can tell you that on a bad day, the pain level has gone down to a 5, and I am only half way through my treatments! Everyone here is amazing. I feel like I am part of the family. I look forward to my appointments and seeing everyone! I recommend Gonstead to anyone in pain! I am grateful to have found them. Thanks to each and everyone of you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lara and the team at Gonstead Physical Medicine are absolutely amazing! I’ve been dealing with low back pain, sciatica, and numbness in my arm, and thanks to their care and the DRX 9000 decompression table, I’ve seen incredible improvement. Dr. Lara is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a fantastic adjuster—he has truly worked wonders for me. The entire staff is so welcoming and friendly that every visit feels like coming to see family. I’ve been so impressed with the results and the experience that I’ve referred several friends and family members here, and they’ve had a similar experience. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who truly cares and delivers real results, look no further than Gonstead Physical Medicine!

Thank you for the five star review! So glad your son is doing so well!
Negative experience: I went to get a vitamin drip and when they started looking for a vein to put the drip in, they missed it several times and only caused me pain. Not everyone there is like that, it's just a lack of experience from the one who was there that day because the other woman who is usually there usually gets it right.
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful visit and adjustment yesterday. Even got to see some friends that I haven't seen in a while!
Thank you for the 5 start review! We are honored to be able to help you with your health!

Fantastic experience: Dr Gangemi and his support staff were excellent. I just started this week and a complete assessment was given and he identified several areas of concern which aided in his development of a plan to help my recovery. I have full confidence in his ability to bring me back to a point where I can resume normal daily activities. Additionally, the personable approach by Dr Gangemi and his staff made me comfortable right away. I am so glad I found the Gonstead Physical Medicine clinic.

Positive experience: I love my phlebotomist! Other than that it’s okay. Their hours of service are limited for B12 shots. Friday until 12 which was Wednesday and the hours aren’t listed. Yesterday when I checked in the other phlebotomist took the person behind me first.
Fantastic experience: Dr Timko is the most thorough and detail oriented chiropractor that I have ever had adjust me. He takes the time to get to know you and the issues that you are dealing with. Then he methodically charts a path for bringing your body back into balance. He has all of the latest therapeutic resources and tools at his fingertips including a solid understanding of naturopathic options, which I prefer. I highly recommend scheduling a visit to receive proactive and preventative care.
Thank you for the five star review! Our goal is to provide you with the best care possible!

Fantastic experience: Cheryl is the best for all of my vitamin needs!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lara is the best!
Positive experience: First visit after consultation. Went well, received EMT, spinal decompression, an adjustment, and went over x-rays. Dr John was kind and seemed knowledgeable. The staff there were all pleasant and accommodating. Overall good experience so far.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Scott Timko is the best. He knows your needs and works on that. Never pushing for things that are not needed. Very intelligent and helpful. The entire staff at Gonstead is amazing as well. Such a warm, inviting environment!! I've recommended family and friends who say the same. Amazing!!
Fantastic experience: Dr Timko works wonders! My entire family now sees him, as do any of my friends or acquaintances. Sadly, I often wait to schedule appointments until I'm hurting, but the care I have received has always gotten me back on track quickly. All of the ladies up front (I don't know all of the titles) have been very friendly, helpful and professional. I highly recommend this practice.
Fantastic experience: Awesome service. Very professional & friendly.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Gonstead since “2010” and if it wasn’t for GOD & Dr Lara , I’d probably wouldn't be walking or have the quality of life that I have. Iam soooo thankful for Dr Jose Lara, Dr Kim and the whole team. So Grateful. Really were Blessed here in Phoenix for having this team here in the valley of the Sun. THANK U
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. I have 20 visits and so far used 5 visits and feel better already.
Fantastic experience: Every time I visit it's a positive experience. The staff are friendly, caring, and professional. My chiropractor is Dr. Scott Timko and I'll be seeing him until that sad day when he retires. He knows not only the chiropractic, but is highly educated in nutrition and herbal therapy. If you're looking for a Dr. in the Northwest Phoenix area, make an appointment.
Fantastic experience: The staff is always so friendly at Gonstead Physical Medicine. Dr, Timko has been a godsend, helping me with my back issues. I highly recommend this doctor and the clinic.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Gonstead Physical Medicine for 7 yrs now for adjustments, maintenance, general nutrition and I can’t say enough good things about it. When your ready to get your body into check look no further than Dr Lara and his team.
Fantastic experience: This clinic is the best clinic I have ever known. They have given me special professional treatment and I love how they serve all the clients and all the services. They are very, very effective. Thank you very much for everything you do for the Community.
Fantastic experience: We love Gonstead! My husband injured his back and Dr. John put him on a comprehensive plan and now we just come in for maintenance. They are seriously the best!!! Highly recommend :)
Fantastic experience: Everyone is professional and very helpful. The therapy is helping tremendously!
Fantastic experience: Honestly 100% recommend Gonstead physical Medicine,Drs and all staff they treat you as a family, and my back pain is gone ,thanks for all your care and support God bless you all ♥️
Fantastic experience: I drive an hour to come here to get my B12 shots. They have been amazing and always work around my schedule.
Fantastic experience: Kind and professional staff !!! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Recommended, I feel very good with a lot of energy and eager to return
Positive experience: I didn't like that the nurse or doctor who attended to me kept asking me the same question many times about whether I had fallen out of bed, and I kept telling her no. What I liked the most was when they sat me in the massage or shock chair.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr. Lara for over 35 years. I really enjoy the friendly staff and the privacy that Gonstead offers. I have tried other local chiropractors and their sessions are open for everyone to see. I drive 3 hours back to him since I moved because I trust Dr. Lara. My family, including my kids, come to see him also. His adjustments are geared to heal the issue not just come back for several visits with the same problems. We will always be a supporter
Fantastic experience: It's a place for very good therapies and the service is super friendly, I love it, it gives very good results
Fantastic experience: I really like how everyone works there, they are very nice! And they really care about your well-being!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Timko is the best chiropractor I have every had and being I my 60s, I have seen many. He is an expert in a variety of chiropractic technics and will to explain what and why he performs the way he does. Many chiropractor are slow to share ideas of self help home exercises but Dr Timko is more than happy to share. When you first walk into the office, you are greeting by 2 wonderfully nice ladies, whose smiles make you feel welcomed
Fantastic experience: This chiropractic group has it dialed in. They have a State of the Art decompression machine that allows the damaged discs to "breathe" and obtain necessary minerals and nutrients that are prohibited when discs are compressed. Coupled with the chiropractic treatment & adjustment during the same visit helps enhance the healing and revitalization of the damaged area. Dr. Timko is a seasoned doctor that knows how to treat and adjust his patients.
Fantastic experience: Very good attention recommended
Fantastic experience: This place is awesome. First visit I was evaluated and set up on a program of adjustments, physical therapy, massages and vitamins. By the end of the program my issues were gone (physical ones at least ). I continue to follow up as often as I can, not as often as I should. This place is almost a one stop shop, I've had blood work followed by consultations, I.V.s and a more natural approach to health concerns, which I appreciate.
Fantastic experience: Absolute professionalism
Fantastic experience: A divine treatment and the doctor explains in detail the benefits of each vitamin.
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and good treatment, I loved it
Fantastic experience: The staff was great. The employees were very helpful and answered all our questions . LOVE LOVE definitely recommend!!
Positive experience: Grouponed a bunch of B12 shots. I've been stopping in every week for almost a year. Always quick service and very friendly. The place is always busy. Just keep in mind that they are closed for lunch until 2 pm. It's a bit of a hassle, but worth it.
Fantastic experience: Very good attention and they explain everything to you, I would definitely recommend it, thank you.
Fantastic experience: They take care of you very well, everyone is very friendly.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ashley works WONDERS! I threw my back out so bad I had a hard time getting a fully breath in, but once she adjusted me I felt INSTANT relief. I wished we lived closer so I could continue our care together, but she truly saved the day (and Christmas) -Dana
Fantastic experience: Dr. John and his staff are all wonderful! And I finally found an effective treatment plan that has helped me with chronic back pain. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for great care.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, they speak Spanish
Fantastic experience: Everyone there was very kind and knew what they were doing, they made me feel very confident and safe.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service excellent staff ready for my next appointment
Negative experience: Well, I leave you my review (my issue is lower back pain due to my job in a warehouse lifting boxes). The therapies they use are simple for the very high price of $1,800 for 6 sessions, and in those 6 sessions I didn't feel 100%. They told me I need 5 more sessions for $2,500. They are scammers, and on top of that, they don't accept insurance. They just have us do stretching therapies that one can easily do at home by watching videos on YouTube. I do not recommend this place; if you are going for pain, look for other options.
Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service and above all they speak Spanish. I love that they offer promotions, excellent for those of us who are on a low budget. I loved it!
Fantastic experience: Super attentive, friendly, excellent service
Fantastic experience: I heard about them from an ad on Facebook. The service I purchased was an IV complex B serum. The offer I bought is for the $99 serum, I only paid $39. When you are there, they give you the option to add other vitamins to your serum. I added Glutathione for its benefits. Upon arriving, they were friendly, the check-in was quick, and the doctor listened to my needs before taking me to the area where they would administer the serum. The area is comfortable and clean. The service from the nurse is good. I really liked this place and I've booked more visits. My recommendation is to pay extra for a larger serum and only go once a month. Without a doubt, I will be a new recurring client.
Fantastic experience: I felt very good
Fantastic experience: Super friendly and very professional service. I feel renewed.
Positive experience: Good attention, but the actual costs were not on Facebook and one thinks the cost is different, and I would have liked to have the entire process in one appointment.
Fantastic experience: Hello, I am very satisfied with the attention I received at Gonstead Physical Medicine. Very attentive and professional, thank you!!!
Negative experience: Supposed they give appt for today @09:30 am when driving from west phoenix they call me to cancel the appt very unprofessional place
Fantastic experience: Super friendly. It's always a pleasurable experience.
Fantastic experience: Nice staff
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lara runs a very professional clinic. He and all his staff exude a real attitude of care and concern for our well-being.
Fantastic experience: Good
Fantastic experience: Beautiful angels! I was fit in last minute bec I strained my neck & was in sooo much pain. He first relaxed it w electro massage then cracked what needed adjustment & next day I was partying all day for my birthday
Fantastic experience: The most important thing is to keep the blood clean and the organs of our body hydrated, and for me, this is wonderful!
Fantastic experience: Service is good, price perfect tks.
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, very kind, they answer all your questions, the prices are super low, I loved it, congratulations, good job
Fantastic experience: Excellent service.. highly recommended...
Positive experience: good customer service and great doctors very 'professionals'
Fantastic experience: All the doctors here are very knowledgeable and excellent, especially Dr. Lara. My neck and back have caused me discomfort for many years, and he was able to take the pain away with a treatment plan. I would highly recommend this place
Fantastic experience: I've been receiving excellent care after my double head on collision and the doctor is getting me to where I can function as much as possible.
Fantastic experience: Nice people at the medical office just nice
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr.Lara for 20- 25 years. All of my kids have seen Dr. Lara as well. I'm truly blessed to have Dr. Lara as my Chiropractor.
Positive experience: Dr. Timko was knowledgeable and friendly. That being said. I signed up for the groupon deal & thought it was A great deal. Unfortunately I wasn't able to test that theory out due to my appointment being canceled 3 times. The two appointments I did have I ended up waiting over 30 minutes when I arrived 10 minutes early. No wait policy is not true. After receiving my first adjustment, I ended up waiting 3 weeks in pain only to be told the Dr. was not available. To top it off, I'm informed that they do not accept my insurance. It was Disappointing & A waste of time. The front staff are unorganized at best. If you get the shock therapy treatment be careful for the guy hooking you up to the machine just pulls your clothes without warning, very unprofessional.
Fantastic experience: I 1000% recommend. Everyone there is so professional and knows exactly what they are doing. I came in with EXCRUCIATING lower back pain and was diagnosed with a huge hernia. Their treatment plan has helped me get my life going again. Thanks to every staff member and doctor at Gonstead Physical Medicine!
Fantastic experience: Dr Lara has always the best treatment for my pains and my family.We love him
Fantastic experience: Everyone there give great service receptionist are awesome from juliet the massage therapist to dr john and dr nelson i recommend this place hands down im walking out like a new woman .
Fantastic experience: I came to complete therapy here but the most memorable and effective treatment here is done by Juliette. She is an amazing therapist! Juliette was able to treat areas that I could not imagine being treatable. I hope to see her again.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to get diagnosed, adjusted, and other health/wellness services! Staff is knowledgeable, professional, and approachable. The Gonstead Physical Medicine team pride themselves in offering "good old fashioned" hospitality and this simply couldn't be more true! I not only feel great, but deeply cared for.
We appreciate the great review! We are so glad you are benefiting so much from our services!
Negative experience: Update to response from owner. I was never on hold and was not being transferred. Your staff was just rude so you must be referring to some one else in this "isolated incident" you are referring to. Some of the rudest front office staff I have ever dealt with. Unprofessional, rude, and ignorant. I would never trust a place like this with my health when they are that rude and incompetent over the phone. They just lost two potential clients and I will be sure to tell my Doctors office who recommended them about this behavior. Seriously what is wrong with people these days? Have a nice day Nalley, or whatever your name is, with your rude toxic behavior.
Fantastic experience: If you have back aches headaches massage Physical Therapy they have it all come here to get treated good customer service in front of these are awesome doctors are all great
Fantastic experience: As the years have passed by I look back, and remember my parents taking me for my adjustment with Dr.Lara in the 1st clinic he had. Now 18 years later I am back for my Adjustment but am with a new Dr in the clinic named Dr Timko. Always feeling better after my adjustments. Thank you Dr Timko for what you do you always have my back literally lol I recommend seeing Dr Timko for your monthly Adjustments.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Jose Lara saved my life when I was 15 years old.
Fantastic experience: Had a great full body massage
Fantastic experience: My dad fully recovered thanks to this place!! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: The Best!!
Fantastic experience: I had been in pain for the past 3 weeks. I couldn't walk without severe pain shooting down my right side. I believe this was all part of my fall back in mid October of 2019. I had been to physical therapy but only for my shoulder which also was hurt in the fall. I am a "snowbird" so trying a new chiropractor was scary as I just don't seem to relax with new Dr's. Well after my first visit and consultation with Dr John Gangemi I felt at ease, and after my 4th visit, which was on the 26th I am amazed at how he quickly realigned me and I can now walk with no limp or use of walking stick. Unfortunately, I am heading to our next destination which is Colorado and hope to continue maintenance with a good chiropractor there. If I ever make it back to Arizona I will definitely come see him again and another plus was finding out he's a firm believer in using essential oils but not just any but the same company I use :-) which is Young Living. The staff was great also in making me feel comfortable and there was never a wait for any of my appointments. Thank you all for such great and wonderful results. Barb Cargill
Fantastic experience: Nice folks whom share experiences, they really care about the service and the way they handle the customer.
Fantastic experience: I have always struggled with hip and left side pain. Thanks to the Gonstead method adjustments. I’m able to go back to the gym and have a normal daily routine. Great staff and amazing doctors. Highly recommend Gonstead physical Med.
Fantastic experience: Great, they make me feel At home
