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 is a superb orthopedic surgeon. He did a knee replacement for me and I couldn't be happier with the results. I am grateful to Dr. Goodman and his team for providing me with such excellent care. Dr. Goidman is the absolute BEST, and I will be forever thankful to him for giving me the ability to return to an active lifestyle.

I am so thankful I found Dr. Goodman. I had hip dysplasia and my hips wore out and I needed to have them replaced at a bit younger age (57 for the left hip, 59 for the second). Before my first hip replacement I could only walk one block. He completely changed my life! He is an excellent surgeon and a warm person. Thank you Dr. G!

Right DX, yet unwillingly to do THR for a 49 YO patient with Dysplasia, FAI and OA. He should retire. Honestly, he told me to live with pain and modify my life more, even though I have been living with significant mobility issues for over a decade. No offer of help other than NSAIDS and PT. He said my “hips were too healthy for replacement?” No MRI ordered. I had successful bilateral replacements at Cedars-Sinai in 2019. Shame on Stanford.

EXCELLENT SURGEON, MY ONLY HOPE IS THAT HE HASN'T RETIRED BEFORE I NEED A HIP REPLACEMENT.

Dr. Goodman corrected another surgeon's total knee replacement in Fresno, CA. I lived with considerable pain for 3.5 years. I also lost my ability to walk safely. My knee was collapsing and as a result, I was falling. Dr. Goodman's talent has given me an entirely new outlook on life. He made the appropriate surgical corrections. My outcome is beyond fantastic. Thank you Dr. Goodman.

I had my hip replacement when I was 26 years old because of Hip Dysplasia. I am much worse than I was before. I believe I was taken advantage of and was forced to have the surgery. I would highly recommend a second opinion. I am very depressed and unhappy with my results.

Dr. Goodman is a world expert and thought leader on materials and mechanics of major joint replacements, especially in the hips. He corrects cases that have been poorly managed. It does take a while to get in for a consult, but once you're in, his office, nurses and residents will take great care of you.
