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.

Brest cancer visit!
I came to see Dr. Goodwin when I felt a lump in my breast. I have to say that she is god send angle to my suffering. She exams my breast and right away schedule a biopsy in two days. My after visits with her was pleasant as she guided me through the process of surgery and doing genetic testing. On my day of surgery she came in a hug me and reassure me that I am in good hands. She really cares and understood the pain most cancer patient went through. I had a mastectomy and it heals very well. I really feel that she cares for her patients and she listen to me and my concern. She is no longer at the medical group Epic Care in Dublin. I really miss her very much and I wish her well wherever she may be.
