Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Correctly diagnosed my problem before MRI results
He immediately diagnosed my problem and offered reassurance about my prognosis. I liked the conservative manner in which he laid out my treatment plan. Dr Goodman is so knowledgeable about backs and I knew he could help me

Always Helps Me
I find Dr. G to be very well informed, takes time with me and is very very pleasant. Dr G saw my husband for about 20 years also. His staff is professional and personable. I always look forward to my visits.

This guy is paid to lie by the insurance companies. Beware of him, he lies if you're facing an injury that requires the WC insurance to be responsible. He will even write a personal note to the insurance company stating ''thank you and please let me how I can be of service to you in the future''. Although I have an upcoming fusion to my spine this year and have confirmed via MRI that my spine is damaged by 4 Dr's, He said I am A-okay.

I'm really not sure why this physician is still practicing. I had broken 3 vertabrae in my back and the first visit was ok. When I went back a month later is when I have issue. When he came into the office and started looking at my notes he literally asked me "Why are you here? I didn't write any notes, so I don't know why you came here theither first time." This was the most shocking thing a doctor has ever said to me. I would not recommend this Dr. at all.

Dr. Goodman was very nice and very informative. He took the time to go over my MRI with me and show me exactly where my problem was with my neck. He did a very thorough exam on me and talked at length about my options. I was very impressed with his knowledge and his bedside manor. Would definitely recommend him!
