Dr Goodman's staff alwaya seems to be rushing and having heard that Dr Goodman is a good diagnostician I decided to go to him with my problem. Not only did he come to the room breathless like he just ran a marathon, he already had his pad of scripts in his hand ready to write a prescription. He barely listened to what I was saying trying to hurry me along and literally cut me off by asking me in an annoyed tone of voice Girlie, what do you want me to do. I was floored, uhhhh mister doctor aren't YOU the doctor. I left very dissapointed. I absolutely DO NOT recommend Dr Goodman to anyone. Terrible terrible doctor who just simply writes out unnecassary prescriptions.

There are a few things that really bug me about Dr. Goodmans office. First, whether or not you make an appointment, he takes patients on a first come first serve basis. If you have the first appointment and you come on time, but three people have walked in first, you will be fourth on his wait list. Second, there is no emergency line. The voicemail says if you have an emergency go to the emergency room and third his hours are ridiculous for a busy office.

I have been a patient of dr goodman for many years, and have been seeing many doctors for my condition for the past 3 years. No one has showed as much care and compassion as dr goodman. He truly cares and goes above and beyond!
