“The doctors at Gonstead Physical Medicine are the best in the valley! Dr Lara literally saved me from back surgery. I had been to several other chiropractors on and off over the past 30 years looking for some sort of relief for my bad back from laying brick and block my whole life and nothing ever seemed to help until I started going to Gonstead Physical Medicine. The DRX9000 Spinal Decompression as well as a series of adjustments were literally a life saver for my back and my whole body. Had I not come to this place, I would of had a costly surgery and who knows if it would of even helped. Dr. Lara and his team are not only very caring and honest, but absolutely by far the best doctors in Arizona. I highly recommend Gonstead Physical Medicine.”

“Gonstead Physical Medicine is the Best! I have been to many medical doctors and chiropractictors and this is the first place that told me the actual cause of my pain. I had multiple disc herniations and spinal misalignments. I couldn't walk, drive, sleep or enjoy anything. I was so frustrated that I was getting worse everyday. After the very first treatment at Gonstead Physical Meddicine I felt tremendous relief. After a series of Spinal decompression and adjustments I feel 100% better. I can do anything. Im back to working, sleeping normally and I have so much energy. The staff is so professional and caring. God Bless all of the doctors and staff at Gonstead Physical Medicine.”

“I have been a patient of Gonstead Physical Medicine for many years. From the Front Desk, through the Therapy Room, and into the Patient Rooms, I have never met a more pleasant and efficient group of professionals...kind, courteous, and caring. The Physicians, Therapists, Clinical Staff always have a warm smile and greeting. They take the time to listen to their patients' concerns and the results prove it. Most of the staff are bilingual which truly makes consultations simple. I wholeheartedly endorse this Practice.”

Their treatment plan has helped me get my life going again. Thanks to every staff member and doctor at Gonstead Physical Medicine!”
