He only cares that you make a appointment for tbe money cause if it was about you he might show he cares. He has bever diagnosed me with anything and has never helped me with anything. I would recommend using a nurse practitioner they are fantastic give yoh a diagnosis and care about the patients. Dr. Goodman is awful and most of the women that answer the phones are rude and terrible to talk to they are as helpful as him.

Called me a fat, drug addict for taking a very tiny dose of Vicodin under strict supervision of my PCP. No diagnosis, no suggestions, nothing of value.
