Please do not use this doctor Gonzalo Valdivia. By rushing he crushed or cut critical nerves.
My experience with Dr. Valdivia was crippling. I arrived at Palm Bay Hospital to be admitted for a total hip replacement surgery on April of 2021. I asked the nurse, how many of these does he do each day and she said to me well he has six today.
When I was awakened my hip felt fine but my right leg and foot were numb. My foot felt like it was wrapped in plastic tape, my calf felt like a knife was sticking in the back. This was not normal. Dr. Valdivia said I never saw this. He kept me over night which usually doesn't happen. The sent me home the next day. I iced my foot as told and took Hydrocodone. After one week my foot felt like it was in a fire of hot coals. This lasted three months 24 hours a day. My foot is still numb after ten months but I am doing my exercises to build up my leg muscles.
I looked up the situation I had and found that many people had a similar experience.

Doctor Valdivia is one of the most tender hearted Doctors I have ever met. Quite confident in his abilities and knowledge. He takes the time to answer all your questions. If you don't understand he'll make a way too. The staff at both offices are incredible down to earth. I get sick of being treated professionally. These folks treat you like family. Take advantage of his associate Dr Brad Farney.......best Chiropractor I've ever met with a stunning bedside manner.
