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.

Amazing!
Dr. Goodson is VERY PROFESSIONAL ! Everytime I walk into his office, his staff are nice and they greet me when I walk through the door. Dr. Goodson put braces on my teeth in the early 2000's but now my teeth have shifted and I have returned to get them fixed! Dr. Goodson has been a staple in the Fayetteville community since his practice started.

Dr GOODSON is Very professional. He is an awesome orthodontist. My oldest daughter went to him when she was in middle school and she is now in college. She has a beautiful smile. She haven’t had any problems with her teeth. She is always getting complements on her smile. The staff was friendly, very clean office. My youngest daughter is now seeing him and getting braces put on this month. I highly recommend Dr GOODSON and his staff.

Terrible 5 years WASTED HERE!! Please, anyone thinking about Dr.Goodson being your child’s orthodontist- research!! His reviews speak for him ! I put in a complaint with the NC State Dental review board - and won. They sided with me that he clearly mistreated my daughter & he Paid back most of my money - of course - he didn’t admit fault- just “ a compromise “. Please please get a second opinion if considering Dr.Goodson - I’d hate for any child to go thru what my child did.

Dr. Goodson and his staff have pushed my appointment off for the past month and half. Do not use his services, you will be put off until he finds it is the right time to work with you. If you pay in full, then that will make you subject to even more mistreatment.

HELPFUL PARENT in FAYETTEVILLE , NC – Oct 17, 2018

This doctor doesn't even deserve the one star I gave him. I have never seen a more unprofessional, unorganized orthodontics in my whole life. The staff isn't knowledgeable about half the stuff they are doing and unprofessional as well. He may have over 20 years of experience but in reality I think he is still in business only because he is the only local orthodontics that accepts Medicaid in the area. Just because Medicaid is paying doesn't mean customers don't get the same value of service.

Terrible service!! Have to wait at LEAST 30 minutes to be seen even if you’re late!! Was there and he socialed with a patient for 15 minutes while I was waiting in chair. Hasn’t even been two months I’ve had my braces and like 8 have popped off. One even popped off just a couple of hours after my appointment!! Made me wait for my appliance and still waiting. Definitely going to another orthodontist. At least my bottom teeth are shifting...

They say when someone shows you who they are BELIEVE THEM!!! This man made a 10 year old cry today with his no so spectacular customer service. I wouldn’t advice you take you kids. Short and simple he states he’s going to have to pull out 4 of my daughters permanent teeth, wear for 24-48 months & she’ll need surgery sooo... I say ok but we should make sure that’s what she wants to do. As a 10 year old she says, “I scared about getting my teeth pulled out. He said, “So, you don’t want your teeth

Unhappy Mom in Fayetteville, NC – Feb 24, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Goodson?
By far the rudest, nastiest, unkind, most unprofessional person I have ever had the misfortune of meeting. My 16 year daughter left her appointment in tears today after being handed her profile folder and being told to "come back when you can open your mouth wider." She was NOT seen and her orthodontic needs were not addressed. This is totally unprofessional and just plain abusive behavior for an "adult." Do not subject yourself nor your child to this abuse of power!

Not exactly sure why his rating is so low but he is a great orthodontist. He cares about his patients and is a Ryan likeable person so is his staff.
