I had a lump of scar tissue and five birthmarks removed from the back of my head. Prior to the procedure, Dr. Gonyon was very adamant that the hair would grow back. He repeated this multiple times. I went in for a check up a couple weeks later and was told the hair would grow back in 4 to 6 weeks. Then, several weeks later, Gonyon told me that he was "very confident" the hair would return. After emailing and speaking telephonically with two of the employees, I was told, "in most cases the hair will grow back." As a side note, I noticed several instances of staff members being incompetent. The nurse, Olivia Whalen, stopped responding to my emails almost from day 1 after they realized they had screwed up. She also called the scar tissue on my head "breast tissue," multiple times. Dr. Gonyon also said "I don't think we would have been able to do that [the surgery] if your hair was longer." These people are truly not the sharpest. I also told Dr. Gonyon that the lump of scar tissue was from an old wound a long time ago which he disregarded and misdiagnosed me as having a lipoma instead.

Nothing Dr. Gonyon said was true and now I am left with a giant nasty looking bald spot on the back of my head (and not all of the scar tissue was removed). Furthermore, the moles that were removed were not simply shaved off with the scalpel like they were during past successful removals. An incision was made and they were removed from the inside and then stapled shut, leaving me with more bald spots on my head. I did not agree to this method and did not realize it was the method used until too late. Words are not enough to describe what I have been going through.

Do not go here even if your life depends on it! Don't believe anything that Dr. Gonyon or his incompetent staff write in reply to my review.

The Colorado Medical Board has taken two disciplinary actions against Dr. Gonyon. Even his own employees speak poorly of him!
