Because the treatment path for tick bites was pretty straightforward, we were able to use some of the remaining time to just become more acquainted with each other. My daughter was very pleased with how well Dr. Godding listened to her concerns and was delighted with how friendly he was. She mentioned it several times to various family members!

Extremely friends and attentive, Dr. Godding is a great provider that listened to what I had to say and took everything into consideration. He was someone who treated me like I was valued and seemed genuinely interested in my health. I'm glad I now have Dr. Godding as my primary physician!

I have a lot of medical issues and I feel that my Dr doesn't take them seriouslySeriously most of the time. I am in a chronic care program because of all my problems but I feel my Dr doesn't realize how difficult it is for me to come in all the time with more issues. I would prefer to never come to see Dr's but I am plagued with many physical issues.

Newer Dr he gave me good explanations. Did not rush. Answered questions. I like getting to know a couple different doctors at the clinic, makes me feel at ease if I can't see my primary.
