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.

Basically one and done
Surgery scheduled 6 WEEKS after initial diagnosis made tumor over double in size and change from Grade 1, stage 1 to Grade 2 stage 1c. He gave me Post Mastectomy Pain Syndrome. My “flat closure” has a large “angel wing” on the left, so NOT FLAT. I saw him 5 days after surgery and never again. A nurse removed my drains after 10 days, and he referred me to an oncologist for follow up. His notes indicated I didn’t need to see him again. I was/am fine. I neither need nor want to see him again. I’m fortunate to have healed well in spite of his lack of care. Nice man, nice staff. But NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN!

Wonderful doctor-did my mastectomy. Helped me through the shock. Spent lots of time with me and my husband. Nurse navigator was great. Community Hospital North was absolutely wonderful and made a painful experience patient centered—so kind and compassionate.

I first met Dr. Goedde in 1996, when I was 34 years old. He, along with Dr. Greenspan saved my life. I will forever be indebted to these wonderful men. They are both brilliant and caring. I am so thankful for them!

Took great care and time examing and explaining my mothers cancer. We are blessed he sat down with my 2 sister and mother and I to explain the type of cancer what stage and treatment options. Then listen to our questions and concerns for half hour before leaving out the door for vacation.

This experience is dated but Dr. Goedde “cared” for my mother and contributed in an negative way to my Mother’s treatment course. Through insensitive bedside manner (one egregious incident in particular) and a poor outcome. Never a bitter person, my Mother confided in a unforgiving disrespect for Dr. Goedde and his care. It stood with her through the balance of her life. I appreciate that he has helped many through his years, our family is not one of them.
