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.

Dr. Goodman did my gastric bypass in 2003 and was excellent person. He was never judgemental and always answered calls and e-mails. I am still living the great life at now going on 79 years old and able to have a full life stable at 131.2 lbs. Thank you Dr. "G"

Dr. Goodman cancelled a time sensitive operation 3 days before I was scheduled for surgery. I had consulted with him, done the bloodwork and he cancelled the appointment to go to a conference. Also he was 40 minutes late to my consultation. Get yourself a surgeon capable of managing their time. Stay away.

I felt safe and in great hands with Dr. Goodman. I found him after an extensive search of surgeons who take my insurance. That meant by the time I found him I really needed help. Dr. Goodman made space in his calendar to take care of my surgery. He gave me confidence in his expertise, and made the whole process simple. And more than a year later I'm doing just fine and my scar is small and looks as though it will eventually heal. His bedside manner is gentle, reassuring, and engaging.
