Came to Dr. Goforth with plantar fasciitis problems. He andhis staff have done a great job explaining the problem, what it is and working to find a solution that will work for me: as a chef and a runner I must have my feet working for me—not against me!! I hate goi g to doctors, yet have found my visits here to be quite pleasant with no hassles! I never feel rushed and I am encouraged to ask questions about my condition.

I previously had surgery on my foot by another surgeon, and that did not work out well. I was given Dr. Goforth’s name and decided to make an appointment. First of all, the office staff is amazing! I was greeted with professionalism, kindness and respect. I cannot say enough about Dr. Goforth! He is an exceptional doctor. He thoroughly explained the procedure before the surgery, and invited any questions before, during and after. I trusted him completely with good reason!

Dr. Goforth is a very good doctor. I had polio as a child and need continual foot care. He is very professional and friendly. He has handled emergency situations with me as well as routine foot care. Best dr. on the Western Slope in my opinion.
