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.

Dr Gooding fixed my elbow after months of pain. I have also taken 2 of my sons to him. One for a broken finger and another for a broken ankle. All are fully recovered with no reoccurring pain. I would recommend him to friends and family.

Dr. Gooding is very nice. The office is a nightmare. The front desk never answers the phone. Expect 2 hour waits for 4 minutes with the doctor. He is rushed and overworked. They lost my x-rays and claimed they were thrown away and that is normal practice. The doctor couldn't find them and I couldn't get my disc back when I decided to leave the practice. Go somewhere else.

I had the misfortune of being referred to Dr. Gooding after an incident dislocated my wrist. At least that's what I think it was because the Dr never had the decency to talk about the diagnosis. I think I spoke with him, at most, for one minute per visit to his office. He would come in, say he looked at the physical therapy report, and say I needed more physical therapy. Then he would just leave the room. He wouldn't even stay long enough for me to try asking a question.

Not very reliable! He sent me for a test at Neuro Health to determine if my problem was carpel tunnel in my hands and he never called me back with the results! I left numerous messages on his answering machine and never received a call back. Now I need to find a new doctor because both of my hands go numb!

The worst bedside manner of any doctor I have ever seen. He walked out of the appointment without answering legitimate questions. Walks back in with a script that he did not even explain. Incredible... I read other reviews on this Doctor before going and figured people are just complaining. Not so...changing doctors immediately.

Rude manners at the front desk were the worse ever seen, yet still in the waiting room long past the scheduled appointment time. After such experience, I was extremely doubtful about this place and decided to go elsewhere. Any practice out there is as good as the people that are operating it. The mistake made here is that I chose to seek their help, and would've never considered this doctor had I checked the online reviews.

Horrific bedside manner. Very dismissive, did not appear to care AT ALL about my pain. I found him to be rude and very unhelpful.
