My husband and I have been patients of Dr Goodman for many years. He is extremely knowledgeable and will not give up until he finds the problem you are having and a solution. I would not go to anyone else as long as he is available. His staff have always been personable and helpful.

I am a patient of Dr Goodman and have been for a long time, since Dr Goodman's Office was in the White Hall Building. Dr Goodman treated me until I left Chattanooga TN in the 90s and Dr Goodman convinced me to have surgery and got me the best to operate. It was very successful. My family and I lived in the cities where my work was. I retired in 2013 and we moved to Johnson City to start my retirement.We moved back to Chattanooga in 2014 and Dr Goodman excepted me again as his Patient. It is now 2018 and it is in remission. The journey continues for Dr Goodman and myself and many many others Dr Goodman helps.He is the Best there is.

Had an appointment with Dr. Goodman that I had to miss due to having a TIA (mini stroke) on the day of my appointment And I called on the way to the hospital to let them know what was going on. When attempting to later call and reschedule the appointment, I was put on hold. The office manager, Suzanne Keith, informed me they would not make an appointment and that I should look elsewhere for my medical needs. When I persisted to know why, she told me it was "office policy", yet she could not tell me exactly what this "policy" was. The office manager could not tell me what the policy was? I fully believe her actions were a retaliation for my having missed my prior appointment. Dr. Goodman came highly recommended and I am sure is a good doctor but his office manager is very rude and unreasonable. For this very reason, I would NOT recommend using his office for any medical issues.

One of the most compassionate doctors in Chattanooga. And my mother-in-law's favorite doc. Knows his stuff.

Dr Goodman and his staff are wonderful. He's a very caring and compassionate doctor. He makes it a point to personally see his patients, He doesn't send a PA in to do his job. He is hands on with all his patients. He doesn't rest until he gets you to feeling better. Dr B is great also, if doctor Goodman is out he steps right up to the plate. I'm so glad I found them.
