    Dr. Goncalves abused me. He physically hurt me after he had yelled and threatened me. 9 years later I wish I would have complained to the college of physicians only to protect other women. I wanted to avoid conflict but knew it was the right thing to do for others. I am sorry.

    FRONT OFFICE STAFF WERE UNWELCOMING AND RUDE. I WAS THERE FOR A VERY SENSITIVE MATTER AND WAS DEFINITELY NOT MADE TO FEEL COMFORTABLE. THE OFFICE IS ALSO EXTREMELY CROWDED, AND NEEDS A GOOD CLEANING.

    Dr. Jose Goncalves was unkind, yelled and stormed out, not to return. He was VERY physically rough in an internal exam , likely because he was angry at me or women in general.

    I was referred to Dr. Goncalves by my family doctor for an external vaginal procedure. I felt very comfortable with him the moment I met him. He was thorough when discussing the pros and cons of the surgery, as well as the possible complications. The surgery went well and when some problems arose in the weeks following the surgery, he was willing to see me to check things over and make sure everything was healing up properly. I'm very happy with the results of my surgery and I highly recommend Dr. Goncalves.

    Dr Jose Goncalves is a five star doctor! He was so thorough in explaining my procedures and my follow up care was superb! All my questions were clearly explained to me. He gave me that trust and reassurance I needed going into surgery. He is a very caring doctor and I would highly recommend him as your gynecologist or surgeon! I have recovered amazingly well in three months due to Dr Goncalves professionalism as a gynecologist and skilled surgeon. I also had a very positive attitude before and after my surgery! Thank you again Dr Goncalves and staff, very friendly and kind.

    I was very happy to find Dr. Goncalves after being told by another gynecologist that there was basically nothing that could be done to repair my pelvic organ relapse other than trying expensive lazer surgery that doesn't have a very high success rate and wasn't covered by my medical insurance. I was so relieved to hear from Dr. Goncalves that he could indeed repair my organs. He also made me aware that, as with any surgery, there can be risks but he felt I was a good candidate for the surgery he recommended. The surgery went very well and his follow up care was outstanding. I highly recommend him as a surgeon as he explained my procedure thoroughly and he stays very current with his knowledge. I also would like to say that his office staff, Annelien, is such a lovely person, kind and so friendly! If you need a gynecologist, Dr. Goncalves is the one to go to!😊

    I am so blessed to have found Dr. Goncalves while searching for a new Gynecologist since I was not being helped in Kelowna for my endometriosis pain and symptoms. I could no longer work! My previous Gynecologist retired and I had to wait 9 months to see another Gynecologist who did not listen and take my symptoms seriously.
    After being referred by my family doctor, I was able to see Dr. Goncalves within a short time. He listened, took my symptoms seriously, asked many questions and looked into my previous surgery for endometriosis in 2012. He did laparoscopic surgery which included excision. I am so grateful to Dr. Goncalves for his care, knowledge and professionalism.
    I highly recommend Dr. Jose Goncalves!

    I was referred to Dr Gonclaves by my GP after noting a prolapsed bladder and uterus. After trying a few non surgical methods to no avail, he suggested surgery with repositioning my bladder and removal of my uterus as I am far past child bearing years. I owe my life to Dr Goncalves because the pathology reports after surgery showed I had stage one Endometrial cancer! Had he not suggested my uterus to come out, who knows what my future would have been. He was thorough, polite and trusting. The office staff is also very courtiuos. THANK YOU!!!!

    I requested an appointment with Dr. Goncalves because my bowels are prolapsed, I am incontinent, and I am having pain under my urethra. During his exam, he somehow found a uterus, and a cervix, and described both in detail. I had a hysterectomy 14 years ago, and they removed both my uterus and my cervix!... I also have TOT mesh that is eroding through my tissue, and he said he would take that small piece out and put more in!! UMMM NO THANK YOU, you are not putting more mesh in me so it can destroy my organs, muscles, ligaments, and nerves all over AGAIN... I also had a concern that was very difficult for me to talk about, and he totally shut me down with no compassion for what I had just told him. He also did not offer me any other solutions to fix my prolapse bladder and bowels, other than surgery. I have since found out that there are pelvic floor physiotherapists that have had great success with helping women recover from low grade prolapse without surgery! The exam report was full of half truths, and some absolute falsities and outrageous charting. Needless to say, I fired him... Mistakes are dangerous, be careful to read your exam report before you let him perform surgery on you! AND SAY NO TO MESH (aka "tape" "sling" "hammock")
