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.

Excellent surgeon

Highly recommend Dr. Goodman
I saw Dr. Goodman for a trigger thumb condition. He was very thorough in his explanation of what was happening to my thumb and treatment recommendations. He administered an injection, and encouraged me to continue OT & at home exercises. My condition improved immensely & I am now free of any restricted movement and cramping.

My son has spent the better part of two years under the care of Dr. Goodman and his team. We can't recommend them highly enough! From the initial diagnosis to post-operative care, Dr. Goodman's expertise and dedication to my son's wellbeing was evident every step of the way.Dr. Goodman demonstrated exceptional understanding of the procedure and risks, recovery timeline and long term effects for my son. We never felt rushed through an appointment, Dr. Goodman and his team took the time to thoroughly explain procedures and other available options. They made all of us feel completely confident in their care.With his guidance, the recovery process for my very impatient son who just wanted to get back to the football field, has been better than I could have hoped for. We owe so much to Dr. Goodman and his excellent team.

Huge letdown
I was so disappointed, and my hopes were deflated in one rushed visit. Dr. Goodman had his mind made up about my injury and his diagnosis before even entering the room. because he had completely misunderstood the information in my chart and how I arrived at his office, which quite possibly would have changed his plan of care. I tried several times to explain to him, but I couldn’t get a word in edgewise. And while I sit here now, I still have a distal bicep tendon that is torn halfway across and I’ll probably always have moderately limited use.

Caring and Attentive Surgeon
I appreciate Dr Goodman’s compassionate and warm manor, very skilled in carpal tunnel surgery (endoscopic), and considerate of patient needs - routinely providing outstanding post op care as well.

Excellent Surgeon
I’ve seen Dr. Avi Goodman for a severe wrist fracture that required surgery. I was in excellent hands. Dr. Goodman was very kind, explained everything clearly and the surgery was a success. If you look at my wrist now you cannot tell I’ve had surgery six months ago and that a titanium plate is holding my bone. Dr. Goodman also performed a carpal tunnel release, which was thankfully discovered and recommended during pre-op. I sincerely and highly recommend Dr. Goodman and his team!

Repair of several severed tendons
I suffered several lacerated tendons in my wrist, including 2 fully severed, and lost most of my thumb function. Dr. Goodman was not only kind and helpful throughout the process but he also did a wonderful job with the surgery and restored me to nearly 100% functionality. I highly recommend him for tendon repair surgeries; I don’t think I could’ve got better results anywhere else. Also, the chloroxylenol soap in the bathroom across from his office smells really nice :)

I was impressed by Dr. Goodman's thoughtful listening and diagnosis in each of my three treatments, careful explanations of what was going on, and my options. Once I made my choice, he got right to treatment--very successfully in each case.

Broke fingers and developed carpal tunnel. He fixed the carpal tunnel and the fingers met the expectations of recovery that he explained to me. I would use him again. He treated me well and the occupational therapist was great.

Dr, Goodman does great work
Dr. Goodman was terrific. He explained everything about my depytrians contracture , ( yes , I know I can’t spell that correctly). Advised me on which finger to work on first, and performed the procedure amazingly well. Explained everything completely, including how the finger will look bad right after procedure, but will get better as healing went along. He did a great job and I will go back to him for another procedure on different fingers. Paul Mullen
