John GonzalezDr

My name is Dr. John Gonzalez. I am a urogynecologist and cosmetic surgeon here at Acadia Women’s Health.  I am a licensed surgeon, board certified through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, with 23 years of experience in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. I have also successfully completed the MIGS exam which recognizes my additional expertise in minimally invasive gynecologic surgical techniques gained through clinical experience formal training.
When Dr. Michelle Owens and I first began our practice, we were thrilled that we had the chance to help women during the most precious time in their lives - childbirth.  After 7 years, we began to see a pattern of women who weren’t happy with their appearance after giving birth.  Due to this, we decided we wanted to continue to help our patients long after their children were born.  
In 2006, at the urging of many of my patients, I began training in cosmetic surgery and now have an extremely busy cosmetic and gynecologic practice here at Acadia Women’s Health. I was able to advance my skills in cosmetic surgery and now am one of the leading female medicine specialists in the Southwest Louisiana area.  I was educated by some of the pioneers of cosmetic surgery, who were treating patients under tumescent, or local, anesthesia. I am one of the first doctors in the Acadiana area to perform liposuction, abdominoplasty and breast augmentation completely under local anesthesia in the office.  And currently, I am the only full-time board certified urogynecologist in the Acadiana area.
