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.

Took his time and listened
I’ve had knee issues, and 2 procedures since 2018, so it took me a while to give all the background story. Dr Goodfried listened patiently and explained well my options. I’m very comfortable moving forward.

Dr. Goodfried did a hip replacement on me on Monday, August 16. I had only had an intial appointment with him to consult about the surgery and then did not meet up with again til just before the surgery. I did find him to be a very compassionate doctor and easy to talk with. I had a scare before I was discharged and was concerned about the lack of mobility in my surgical leg. He kept me another night and ex-rayed my hip and monitor me overnight. He made an effort to reassure me all was ok. Since the surgery I have had to call about a concern with my incision and was immediately helped.
