Born in Roseville, CA, Dr. Gomes continues to lecture widely on topics such as breast cancer prevention and weight management, striving to combat misinformation within the health industry while helping individuals achieve their personal wellness goals.

In addition to his patient care efforts, Dr. Gomes is the host of a podcast entitled "Office Hours with Dr. Gomes" where he primarily dispels medical misconceptions and rumors as well as exposes (what he refers to as) "Snake Oil" companies in addition to some of the less-than-savory exploits and tactics the "Big Box" medical groups employ to ensure they maintain financial wealth at the health (and cost) expense of the patients they are meant to serve.
