Meet The Expert | Dr. John Gonzalez

A board-certified urogynecologist and cosmetic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, and one of the first doctors in Acadiana to perform liposuction, abdominoplasty, and breast augmentation completely under local anesthesia in the office. I’m Dr. John Gonzalez, a urogynecologist and cosmetic surgeon at Acadia Women’s Health in Crowley, Louisiana. I’m a licensed surgeon, board certified through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, and I’ve spent more than 25 years caring for the women of Acadiana. Over that time I’ve performed thousands of surgeries, and I’ve completed the MIGS exam recognizing advanced expertise in minimally invasive gynecologic techniques, earned through both formal training and years of hands-on clinical work. When Dr. Michelle Owens and I opened our practice in 1999, what thrilled us most was the chance to walk with women through one of the most precious moments of their lives: childbirth. But after about seven years, we kept noticing the same quiet thing. Women who had given everything to their families weren’t happy with how they looked afterward, and they wanted to feel like themselves again. We decided we didn’t want our care to end when the baby arrived. We wanted to keep helping our patients long after.
