I have been under the care of Dr Goodman for three decades and I have always found him to be a knowledgeable, warm and caring health provider. He has never treated me as an unknown patient, but as a friend that he cares about. That's why I've have continued to go to him all of these years. I wish him only the best in his retirement. He will be missed by myself and my family.

Dr. Goodman is an excellent primary care doctor. He is always relaxed and easy to speak with. He listens well and offers good follow-up questions. I had had a brief dizzy spell several days before my appoint. Doctor Goodman asked a series of questions to understand the reason for this experience. Not arriving at any definite conclusion, he suggested that I get in touch with him if he happened again

Was able to use MyChart messages to request appointment including details of what I wanted to talk about. Received call back quickly and they left a detailed message. Calling back I was able to connect with a scheduler right away. Appointment was available and scheduled quickly. Appointment (virtual) was easy to log into and when provider was having technical issues offered an alternative (calling me by phone) so I could have appointment without rescheduling. All in all a wonderful experience.

My appointment with Dr.Goodman was made by South Point Hospital personnel. He was not informed of the reason for my visit. He quickly read my file and asked pertinent questions about my injury. He noted that South Point had not scheduled an MRI as directed in my file. He immediately sent me to radiology to schedule the MRI. I was able get an MRI five days later. We also discussed the extreme pain I was experiencing. He prescribed some pain medication that has been very helpful. I was very pleased with the concern Dr. Goodman showed and the actions he took.
