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.
