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."
