Dr. Dr. Goodman is always very kind. I'm in a wheelchair and I see him virtually most of the time and then every two or three visits I come in thank you.

Poor office staff, referrals don’t happen as advised. Return phone calls are non existent!! I think they don’t even know what they advise when they tell you to schedule a procedure and then they don’t have a clue!! Then it becomes a money churn for you to make more follow up appointments for what you have already discussed!! Really!! Does anyone have a clue? It starts with you Dr. it’s your business to know!!!

I would definitely recommend Dr. Goodman. He is receptive and respectful of my personal experience with pain and pain management. Having undergone three spinal surgeries and also living with fibromyalgia and bipolar disorder, my care can be complex. Unfortunately, I have experienced discrimination from other doctors when it comes to the intersection of chronic pain, pain management, and mental health. My experience with Dr. Goodman has been very different. We have always been able to have open and honest conversations about the relationship between mental health and pain, and I have consistently felt heard, respected, and never belittled. That level of trust and mutual respect is incredibly important when dealing with chronic pain, and it is one of the reasons I would confidently recommend Dr. Goodman to others.
