Dr. Joe Gamboa's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Gamboa is very friendly and understanding. A great listener, does his best to answer every question and explain the pros and cons of every treatment option there is. I'd come back if I needed to see a rheumatologist again.

I went in for an ultrasound of my hands and wrists. He was very gentle and nice. He answered all my questions.

Dr. Gamboa has a great “bedside manner”. He explains what he observes and what he needs to know from what you tell him, and from what he observes. I feel like he ordered a comprehensive set of tests to determine the cause of a prior blood test result. He patiently and thoroughly explained my new test results and gave me peace of mind. I would strongly recommend Dr. Gamboa to anyone needing a rheumatologist in the area! Jane K. Euler

Excellent Rheumatologist very thorough and personal. My health has improved tremendously.

Listened to my concerns, explained to me his input in his diagnosis

Dr Gamboa is always such a good listener. He is understanding, compassionate, and open-minded. Combined with his professionalism, his staff is always personable, helpful, and timely. I would recommend Dr. Gamboa to anyone in need to a rheumatologist.

Dr Gamboa is ok. The office staff is lazy and not helpful at all. They expect you to call the pharmacy and coordinate your own Prolia injection. I got tired of going back and forth between Peninsula Pharmacy and Dr Gambia’s office. I’m hoping to find another office in the Torrance Network that goes the extra mile for their patients. I’m a nurse and have worked in clinics before in the front office and this is not how a patient should be treated.

I'm sure Dr. Gamboa is an excellent rheumatologist and my interaction with him was pleasant and professional. However, if you are suffering from fibromyalgia, I do suggest seeking out a younger doctor as fibromyalgia research has been updated so much recently. Dr. Gamboa will help you get your diagnosis but I highly recommend seeking out a second opinion and working with a doctor who can help you create a plan for your fibromyalgia treatment opposed to suggesting just "lifestyle changes."

I received excellent care. The doctor thoroughly explained my test results.

I was referred to Dr. Gamboa for further evaluation of potential RA. He was very thorough and detailed in his explanations, and took the time to answer all my questions. He laid out the next steps which were easy to understand.I feel very comfortable with his care so far. He is much more methodical, organized, and clear compared to another rheumatologist I saw previously. He also does telehealth appointments which is nice. I would recommend him.
