In patients' words

"My visit was a nightmare. He wouldn't listen. He never shared results of ex-rays... If you weigh over 150 don't go to him as waste of time."

WebMD patient review of Dr. William Goodman

"We were not informed [of the surgical practice] before surgery and he wouldn't address the severely excruciating pain she woke up with immediately after... She now has nightmares..."

WebMD patient review of Dr. Stephen Hudson

"The two surgeries were exactly the same, but the care at WMMC prior exceeded my experience and expectations... I was in and out within 24 hours, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I had an amazing experience."
