• Dr. Goodman is extraordinary and I'm so happy that my local doctor referred me to her for my surgery last year. She is truly gifted as an oncologist and surgeon - her reviews on social media are off the chart with positive, heartfelt feedback, which was very reassuring to read before I met her. In addition, she is a good listener and a good teacher. She takes the time to make sure you understand every detail of your diagnosis which is empowering. It's the best possible combination of skills and characteristics in a doctor. I feel blessed to be connected with her.
