Joshua Goethals, D.O.

Waited over an hour to see him and then he was in the room for 2 minutes to tell us to come back in a week. Not impressed, getting a 2nd opinion.

Explained everything very clearly and told me my options for a torn meniscus yesterday.

Very thorough!

Polite, seems to know what he is talking about. Not friendly but still professional.

Very happy with every aspect of my appointment, including all staff and even wait times were good. Doctor Goethals was very pleasant and professional.

Wonderful skilled doctor put together my shattered arm like new

Honest and thorough. Makes eye contact during conversation. He has my full trust

I feel Dr.Goethals discussed my injury with me at length. How to make it better. Thank you..

good service, very friendly and understanding

I luv Doctor Goethals he is the best he did surgery on me and all thou it was very painful once I got home but he took very good care of my needs when I got home I would definitely recommend him to others he is kind and considerate....

I like that he explains everything and answers all your questions completely. He does make a point to make sure you understand what we talked about and are comfortable.

Bed side manner wasn’t existent. Didn’t acknowledge the other person that was there with me. I had the feeling, he was wondering why I was there. Who knows, this may have been because he didn’t come in to see me until after 5:00 for a 3:45 appointment, on a Friday. Dr didn’t point out on the knee model, the MRI findings. This was my first visit to MOC. Based upon this, I wouldn’t recommend this doctor to anyone. If physical therapy doesn’t have good results, I will be looking for another Dr. The rest of the visit was without issue.

Aggressive, arrogant, rude, and dismissive

I love his professionalism with me. He is gentle.

I couldn’t be happier with my results from Dr. Goethals and Michigan Orthopedic Center. It can be easy to feel like just another patient when it comes to orthopedics, but that couldn’t be further from the truth with Dr. Goethals. It is clear that he is truly passionate about orthopedics and genuinely cares about you as a patient. One week post-op, at 12:00 a.m., I ended up in the emergency room with recurring fevers. At 2:30 a.m. Dr. Goethals came into my room and immediately knew that it was DVT despite the ER staff thinking it was an infection as a result of surgery. The moment he walked into that room, I have never felt more confident in my choice of a specialist. Talking to him at appointments was like talking to a friend. He was always extremely kind, knowledgeable, and always listened to my concerns and answered every question thoroughly. I’m unable to put into words just how thankful I am for Dr. Goethals and the entire team and MOC.

Gave ample time to really ask questions, listen and walk through optoins.

Best ortho I've seen in the office! Highly recommend.

Knee has responded well, recommended a follow up in August prior to our trip to assure that it will be in the best shape for the trip.

Great

Would highly recommend him! I didn’t feel rushed and felt he truly listened to what was wrong. Finally after years of suffering I have answered and a plan to fix the problem.

Dr. Goethals took the time to patiently answer every one of my questions, and he was encouraging about my progress. He also did an amazing job on my surgery!

Very nice guy. Seems like he knows what he's doing, as expected. It was a 10 minute visit, so what else can I say?

he wounderful kind and dies the job fanstic exlent with peants

Very nice, informative and compassionate!

Dr Goethals takes all the time I need during appointments. He is knowledgeable, skilled, friendly and encouraging. I would recommend him to friends and family.

Swift, personable, and professional.

Good knowledge. Good communication.

Thx i think ill do the sugery

He was very patient, and addressed all questions I had plus gave me a more through explanation of what was going on with my knee.

Never did I expect to get that much direct time with a specialist doc but he was face to face with me the whole time. Friendly, honest, informative and not superior, I couldn’t be happier
