Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Twenty four years ago, in 1995, Dr. Goddard delivered my son via c-section at David Grant Medical Center. I felt like I was in the very best care with my high risk pregnancy and was put at ease going into my second c-section. He was very caring and such a great doctor. After delivery I had some complications and was readmitted and Dr. Goddard went above and beyond to make sure I was ok and I was discharged on my birthday. Now 24 years later the baby he delivered is married with a baby girl.

I met with Dr Goddard to discuss fibroids and possible surgery. He was very helpful in explaining things and put me at ease. Super nice with a sense of humor which helps when a doctor is looking at vaginas all day. :)
