Should retire has no concern, no time, no common sense in prescribing medication and he has too many patients to handle

I meet this doctor once and was impressed on how well i was treated. I had 90an infection in my leg and he diagnosed me quickly and accurately. Within days after taking the medication prescribed by him i was better in no time. I want to thank him for a job well done and hopefully get his assistance in the near future when i don't feel well again.

Dr Goforth and staff at Patients Medical are the nicest and most personable staff you will ever find. I will not use convenience as a reason to see a dr. I rather go far out of my way to go see Dr Goforth than someone right next door. The best dr and dr's office i've ever had / been to EVER! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE to see him!

DR.Goforth is a Great doctor. He always takes his time with me and always seems concerned. I was real upset when I went to his regular location to find it closed and no sign of where he moved to.I will attempt to find him as I only feel comfortable with this doctor.

I read the other reviews and can only say I am shocked at some of the negative comments. My experience was that this was the best doctor I have ever seen. He was knowledgeable and professional and truly kind and caring. I won't go to anyone else. Don't believe everything you read. If you want a great doctor then this is the one for you.

I came away inspired to be the best I can. I had kind of given up on myself. But, Dr. Goforth took so much time to show me how I can get healthy. I've never had a doctor like this and I won't go anywhere else.

Doctor Goforth was neither thorough nor friendly. His diagnosis did not match those of the three other doctors I had seen.
