About Me

As a surgical oncologist, I specialize in melanoma, sarcoma, breast cancer, endocrine surgery, cutaneous oncology and surgical oncology. My research interests include tumor immunology and immunotherapy.

I value the opportunity to help patients through what can be incredibly challenging and life-changing circumstances. I strive to alleviate patient concerns and fears through education, communication and support while using my training and skill set to provide the highest quality medical care. 

My hope is that every patient feels more knowledgeable, empowered, and truly cared for at the end of each visit.

I am committed to research and education in the ever-changing field of cancer so that I can offer patients the best and most modern care possible.

I strive to alleviate patient concerns and fears through education, communication and support while using my training and skill set to provide the highest quality medical care.

  • Dr. Cintolo-Gonzalez is great. She explains things well and listens to my concerns and answer my questions and arrives at treatment plan that incorporates my thoughts.
  • Excellent Dr. Whole vist went very well
  • I love her passion for her work
  • I was unhappy with the doctor mainly due to talking much to fast and seemed distracted. She was kind enough to say there was an option of a second opinion and I am definitely going that route because I was not satisfied with the attention and the response to questions that she provided me.
  • Dr. Cintolo-Gonzales did an excellent job of describing the details of my condition and treatment options. She did not in any way talk down to me and took special care to explain technical details when appropriate. She spent nearly an hour with me and didn't make me feel rushed in any way. I am also particularly encouraged to know of her acquaintance with the doctor that is providing a second opinion for me. To Dr. Cintolo-Gonzales and everyone on my care team at UVM MC: THANK YOU so very much!
  • Good
  • When I first meet Dr. Gonzalez two years ago I explained I'm slow to understand medical terminology especially is the doctor is talking too fast: also I retain & learn better w/ pictures. Dr. Gonzalez was then and still to this day very accommodating to my needs. She's kind and friendly towards me
  • Once again the Dr. was terrific!
  • Very thorough examination. Great attention to details. Very professional, caring and warm. Dr. Cintolo-Gonzales is an excellent doctor and I am lucky to be in her care.
  • Process is both verbal and written! So fine!
  • Dr. Cintolo-Gonzalez is excellent. She's very personable - her laugh is contagious. I would highly recommend her.
  • EXCELLENT CARE AND CONCERN.
  • My Dr really listens, I feel she understands my fears, concerns and never rushes me into decisions.
  • No bad experiences
  • I understood all Dr. Jessica shared with me, she has a wonderful HEART, and concerned for my wellbeing, all questioned asked & answered. And always asks if there is anything we have not covered I trust her with my life!
  • Dr. Cintolo-Gonzalez is an amazing surgeon and great commutator. Just an outstanding Dr. And I recommend her to family and friends.
  • The team was very informative.
  • Good
  • The physical displayed excellent people skills and answered all of my many questions. Very easy to talk with.
  • Dr. Gonzalez was beyond awesome. She carefully explained my issue, told me my options and explained risks of surgery and outcome possibilities. She answered all of my questions. I felt much less worried and that I was in good hands.
