Dr. Daniel Fred Goodman, MD

Stay away from this place! If you go, they will treat you not as a patient but as an opportunity to charge as much as they can get away with. I imagine that Dr. Goodman is good at what he does – I had been there previously for investigation of a medical condition and thought that what he said made sense – but this office will inflate and invent charges that make no sense. I went for a simple vision exam, to get my eyeglasses prescription updated, which should have been covered by VSP no problem. Oops! Somehow this turned into a charge for hundreds of dollars to my health insurance for a “comprehensive exam.” You see, even though I made it extremely clear that I was just there for the vision exam, Dr. Goodman invited himself into the room for literally one minute, looked into my eyes, said everything’s OK, and boom! That’s what they call “comprehensive” which apparently justifies their charging hundreds of dollars for one minute of the doctor’s time. I found out about this only… bit-by-bit as I got odd notices from my insurance. I had to make many phone calls to Dr. Goodman’s office to get to the bottom of this and, each time, the people I talked to were self-righteous, condescending jerks, insisting that they had the right to charge for whatever they want, that they have the right to decide if I need more than a vision exam, they know what's best for me better than I do, etc. Their way of charging not only got them paid for a bogus “comprehensive” exam but, by making my vision check part of that, it’s now not covered by my health insurance or by VSP. Do they care? Of course not, it’s more money for them. Don’t waste your time at this place, find a doctor that isn’t a fraud.

ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO Dr. Goodman did the cataract surgery on both eyes. Within less than a week I had excellent vision for the first time in my life (severe myopia & cataracts). Here I am now about 12 years later, age 80 now, reading books, watching TV,enjoying the miracle of good vision. The marvels of medical science and the skill of Dr. Daniel Goodman & staff.
