Dr. David Godat knows what he is doing. He is calm, soft spoken which puts you at ease instantly. This is invaluable as you are discussing and showing him intimates parts of yourself, and he improves those areas with innovative techniques and a warm bedside manner.

May 14th, 2013

I had sclerotherapy done by this doctor to eliminate some spider veins. As a result I was left with NECROSIS which is gangrene. I now have a 2" x 2" area on my leg where the tissue died from him injecting me with whatever solution. By injecting into an ARTERY instead of a vein can cause NECROSIS. These are medical facts. I cannot tell you how horrified I am when I look at this SCAR! I tried to get him to correct this but with NO success. My one & ONLY experience with this doctor was LIFE ALTERING-NOT FOR THE BETTER!!! I look at this scar every day. If you are looking to get rid of spider veins, I would look else where for the doctor to do this procedure. He has shown me that he could care less about my outcome. I will continue to tell every one that is interested in this procedure to NOT go to this doctor. I will NEVER refer to this doctor for this procedure!!!!!! I have had consults with board certified plastic surgeons and have been told that it will cost thousands of dollars to correct this mistake. All I wanted was for him to make the scar less visible after the fact, because NECROSIS is NOT reversible. All he could respond to, was you knew of any possible complications-so OH WELL. All I can say is SHAME on you Dr. You can supposed to making people LOOK better NOT SCAR them for LIFE.

I really enjoyed Dr. Godat and His staff. The office is in a great Location and it is a Beautiful Facility. The staff followed up with me after my intitial visit as well as followed up with me after my procedure. I felt like I could simply pick up the phone and call his office at any time and the person who would answer the phone already knew my name and knew my history. I never felt like I had to explain who I was and go through my whole history and why I was calling. I am very pleased with Dr. Godat and his Staff. I am also very happy with my results.

by Lauren E on Apr 1st, 2013

Dr. Godat is a really talented and wonderful doctor. He seems truly interested in getting to know his patients and wants only the best for us. He has changed to a new staff, and they are the most friendly, knowledgeable staff I have seen yet, and I have been coming to him for 7 years. I really appreciate all his efforts and my results are unbelievable!!!

Nov 25th, 2012

I was very excited about my new look and was happy to finally get my insurance to offset the cost. Then when surgery times was scheduled Dr. Godat rescheduled my surgery over five times. Then after surgery the follow up calls were not returned when I called him.I hope everyone does their homework before going to this doctor !!!

Dr. Godat performs surgeries on wound care patients who are extremely sick and malnourished. no other surgeon would ever touch a patient this sick. the patients suffer horribly. he doesn't complete the surgery but performs repeated surgeries on these sick, sick patients. I don't know what to tell the patients when they ask " why do I have to go back- why didn't he complete it the first time?" Some of these surgeries have also been fatal. Why is he allowed to perform surgeries on these patients? families should know what he's doing.

 |  Professionalism and Caring ... or Lack There of  |  show details
Dec 5th, 2010

In my humble opinion, Doctor Godat and staff have a severe lack of resect for the basic fundimental tenants that a doctor needs in caring for the patient while protecting their health & safty and exectuing their dutys as a medical professional. Unfortunatly the problem starts with the doc and is conveyed thru the staff and show up, at the final tally, in all that they do.

by OR RN on Jan 30th, 2010

Working as a Nurse in the Operating Room, I was very picky when choosing a Plastic Surgeon. I have seen so many surgeons operate over the years, I knew how good the surgeon had to be to operate on me. My expectations were very high. After seeing Dr. Godat operate, I knew I found "my" surgeon. I had a great experience in his office, the staff was very professional and polite. Dr. Godat made what I thought was going to be a very embarrasing appointment, a positive experience. I cannot say enough good things about him. My results were excellent, and I would (and have!) recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Godat was recommended highly by another physician and I couldn't agree more. I was somewhat uneasy about having plastic surgery but due to my huge weight loss it was necessary. Dr. Godat and his staff were so encouraging and helpful throughout the whole process. Dr. Godat is an excellent surgeon. He is a perfectionist in patient care(you can't even see my incision lines)I couldn't be happier. I look fabulous.

Having my breast augmentation surgery could not have been a better experience. Dr. Godat was caring and listened to my wants. He answered all of my questions. I picked the size I wanted and now I can wear all those cute clothes I never had the figure for before. I feel and look fabulous. Dr. Godat was awesome.
