Dr. Ryan Goodwin has always been a conscientious doctor who works hard at making sure that the patient plays an active role in their care. Also, he is a very good listener and he welcomes the patient and the family input when carrying for the minor child. Carla is non-verbal and wheelchair bound, therefore we truly appreciate having Dr. Goodwin as her orthopedic doctor :)

I cannot even put into words, how impressed I am with my experience with Dr Goodwin and his staff. If I could give them a higher rating than 5, I would. Efficient, compassionate knowledgeable and exceptional are just a few words that come to mind. This practice and the workers that are a part of it are the example of what "world class care" should look like. We are beyond thankful for Dr Goodwin, Dr Prashant and the rest of the team. I will recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great orthopedic Physician.
