Medical Advisory Board | Kannaco Wellness

Dr. David Gonzales is a board-certified internal medicine physician and Chief of General Internal Medicine at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. He trained at Stanford University School of Medicine and the University of Texas Medical School at San Antonio, and has spent his career advancing primary care for active adults.

Dr. David Gonzales completed his medical training at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, followed by a residency in internal medicine at Scripps Mercy Hospital. Over the course of his career, he has cared for thousands of active adults.

His interest in topical cannabinoid products began when he observed a consistent pattern in his practice: patients were often turning to CBD products without any clinical guidance.

Dr. Gonzales joined the Kannaco Medical Advisory Board after reviewing the company's formulation data and third-party testing protocols. He now recommends Kannaco topicals to patients who are active and health-conscious.

Outside of his practice, Dr. Gonzales is an avid golfer and cyclist, and brings a personal understanding of an active lifestyle.
