He told me I had tight muscles which was causing my knee pain and referred me to physical therapy, but when I finally got a new doctor and went to pick up my medical records I saw that he had made a note that I had a tumor or cyst growing in the bone. He didn't even tell me! The tumor tripled in size because he didn't tell me in time. Terrible doctor. Stay away

Doctor Goss was a gentleman and did a very good job diagnosing my injury and recommending a course of action! I would return to him again if I had further injury or concerns!

I really wished i read the reviews before seeing this doctor. My visit was waste of time and money. X-Ray didnt show anything so he disregarded the pain I am still feeling in my elbow. I dont care much about politeness, but rather about effectiveness and proper diagnosis by the doctor. Dr Goss is not effective nor can he diagnose correctly.

Worst bedside manners: rude, arrogant, sexist. Really, save yourself and dont waste your time with him. He left me in tears. He needs to learn how to be an actual CARING person. Cannot believe the medical system allows him to practice. Disgrace

Dr. Goss tended to be a little gruff in his manner. He was borderline rude.

I wish I had checked a review on this doctor before I went to him. But I was in dire need after an accident and he was the only available so I said "OK". In my opinion, in over many of years of seeing different doctors, he could have cared less of what I said during the visits. He probably spent a total of 5 minutes with over 6 different visits. Dismissive and totally disinterested in the patients well being. The only good thing was, he was always on time and I am sure it is mostly he probably books 15 minute visits and only see's the patient for a couple of minutes.
