Patient Reviews
Oct 26, 2023
Dr. Goodson has been my family's doctor for 4o years. He is without doubt at the very top of his class as a physician and human being. He listens intently, asks valuable probing questions, never rushes and is 100% thorough as a diagnostician. Dr. Goodson is most compassionate, wise and easy to talk to. I feel most fortunate to be under his care. He is the finest of doctors.
