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.

PCOS
I used to see Dr. Goodman. She is supposed to be an expert in PCOS. All she did was tell me I needed to lose weight. I spoke with her about my possibility of having Endometriosis and she wouldn’t do the surgery because I was over weight. Because of her I quit going to doctors for a while. I have finally found doctors who listened to me and did the surgery to find endometriosis.

Doctor does not care about patients well being or has no interest in making your IVF goals come true. Some people practice medicine for the wrong reasons and it's unfortunate we have to deal with such medical providers. The only service you get from this doctor and clinic is multiple bills for money you do not owe. My positive was very soul crushing and its something no patient should go through. I wasted my fertile years with her and clinic with nothing to look forward to. Doctor and her staff has no compassion and very rude.

8/3 called to see if they accept my insurance, the lady said yes so gave her all my insurance info and scheduled my 18 year old an appt. 8/30/21 I received a phone call, online paperwork was not filled out, nothing about the cost or not accepting my insurance. My daughter did fill out the paperwork. Yesterday she received an email about the appt being canceled due to the paperwork not being completed. I called and the lady apologized and said that her appt was still on, no mention of cost or not accepting my insurance. My kid received an email that the appt was a zoom call instead of an in person appt, no mention of cost. This morning at 10:45 my daughter talked to a nurse and then to the doctor (11 am) 5 minutes into talking with the doctor the office calls my daughter and tells her that she owes them $295 immediately. My daughter tells me, I call the office who says they don’t accept my insurance and we owe the money because my daughter said I handle those things. Such a scam

I have been with Dr G since 2019 for one visit & started my IUI Process in early 2020. Failed but we was ready & excited to start IVF, then the Pandemic hit. So we had to wait until late 2020 to start. All I can say she is a GREAT DOCTOR listens to your concerns & lets you try things before moving to IVF. Office Staff is amazing at the North Office I can speak for only. The one thing I can complain about leaving VM doesn’t return fast enough at times & calling the lines need multi or more lines to put patients on hold. I shouldn’t have to call & call again to get thru besides that I’m ok with RMG. Their the best Practice I have been to Clean & Caring to give you that Miracle baby!!!!

Every appointment was rushed. She does not explains things well. Her answer to my questions was always: "Ask the ivf nurse". She treats the ivf process like it is just a money maker. When in reality, it is a very difficult process for any patient. Not trustable. Not caring.

I wish zero was an option. She is very cold and heartless. Her attitude towards me did not change until I mentioned I was a student as well. She refused to see if there were any underlying issues unless I lost weight. Weight isnt always a factor, there are people a lot bigger than me who have no issues getting pregnant. I am 35 and have been trying for 9 years. I will NEVER recommend her!

The practice is very friendly from front desk to nurses/MA's and staff to doctors. Dr. Goodman was thorough, knowledgeable, caring, and I loved having her as my doctor through this process. The nurses made me feel at ease and were so supportive throughout the few month process. I would highly recommend this fertility clinic to anyone who is dealing with infertility,

Dr. Goodman is the reason I have a “Family”. This incredible woman went the extra mile and utilized her abilities to ensure my husband and I could bear a child. Her staff, peers, the teams who helped us through this journey were very special. 3 + years when all others deemed it impossible. I can sincerely say she is the Best.

I wish I give Dr. Goodman zero stars. I'll start with the worst first... Dr. Goodman strongly advised me to do a saline test because she suspected an abnormality in my uterus (looking back I should have started questioning her there because I have had numerous ultrasounds with other physicians and they never noted anything). During the saline ultrasound, she said she saw a polyp and a septum, both of which she advised would need to removed during an operative hysteroscopy to avoid miscarriage. A

My wife and I saw Dr. Goodman for a tubal ligation reversal. We conceived and now have a healthy 1+ year old son in our lives. We feel blessed and wanted to post our story because we read a lot of reviews ourselves when looking around for options. Dr. Goodman & staff were all very friendly, communicative, & professional. Her office worked with us driving from out of town to get the most out of our trips to Tampa. We had a positive experience all around and highly recommend Dr. Goodman.

Best infertility doctor in the world! Hands down she will change your life. If you are trying to conceive and have any issues please go see Dr Goodman. I had a uterine septum, scarred Fallopian tubes and edometriosis. I had a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy by Dr Goodman and she only used one incision mark and fixed all my fertility issues. Best Doctor!!!

Don't cancel an appt. with her or she will not see you. Very shocking as I have been seeing her for years and had to cancel because I was on my period. Now she will no longer see me.
