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.

Arrogant Goon who will profile you
Dr. Goolsby is your classic arrogant self assured doctor who gets by on the low bar set for physicians in this country. I went to see him as I was transitioning as a pediatric patient to him as my primary care physician and I came in talking about a medicine that I had been on since I was 5 years old for ADHD and this bum accuses me of being a drugseeker and even suggested I was drug dealer.This guy is a bum at best who is certain of his own preconceived opinion he develops of you the day you the moment you walk in the door. I wouldn't suggest this dude to help me if I was dying or if I had a minor cut. Trash.

Dr. Goolsby is worth the wait to see him.
Even though it has gotten rather difficult to get an appointment with Dr. Goolsby, I find it worth the wait. He has always listened to my issues and works earnestly to find a solution. He doesn’t make you feel rushed. I would definitely recommend Dr. Goolsby.

He has been a good and thorough doctor, but getting through to see him or even make an appointment has gotten to be too much trouble

Over the years his compassion and dedication has deteriorated. I have lost all respect for him. His only redemption is that he has competent nurse practioners. He is protected by a large health system or he would have been gone along time ago. I would not recommend this Doctor.

Dr. Goolsby and Glenda are nothing but professional and caring. Sometimes they will tell you something you don't want to hear about your health, but they are honest and caring. My husband and I have been seeing them for about 10 years. We love the staff too!

I have been a patient of Dr. Goolsby's for 17 years. I selected him as my primary care physician in 2000 and he has treated me every since. I no longer live in Paulding County, but I would travel where ever he might go just to keep him as my doctor. Dr. Goolsby is professional, experienced, very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. I feel confident and assured whenever I come to him with a medical problem. Thank you for meeting all of my family needs for over a decade. Mrs. Q. Neville-Belle
