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.

I am so glad I chose Dr Godat, he is so pleasant and patient. He is positive and most of all very knowledgeable and thorough. I felt as if he had been my doctor for years because he was so warm and relaxed. He did not seem to be in a hurry and answered all my questions. My daughter even seemed to like him a whole lot. I wish he had delivered her too. His staff were the sweetest, they're like a beautiful family. Lovely environment. Major thumbs up!

Best Doctor Around
Dr. Godat takes the time to sit with you and figure out what is going on even when things are complicated. He never makes you feel rushed. He truly cares for his patients and he makes sure to build relationships with them, not because he has to but because that is his heart.

Dr. Godat consistently takes time to listen and understand his patient's concerns. Many doctors hurry patients in and out and rarely take the time to truly listen, ask clarifying questions and discuss options. Dr. Godat truly cares about his patients. This is one of the many reasons Dr. Godat is an exceptional doctor. His staff and Barbara (his PA) are all awesome. I highly recommend Dr. Godat.

Dr. Godat is very experienced with his care and bedside manner. He's very informative and he cares about our whole being. I know some people complain about "waiting" longer than expected but I learned a long time ago with his Dad, Dr. Joe, that if I do have to wait, that someone else really needed their time and skills. I've been on that side many times and it makes you feel safe knowing that he's there for you regardless of how many patients may be having to wait. Thank you Dr. Godat!!

12 years: 3 babies, Tubes Tied, Hysterectomy, etc... and I still TRUST Dr. Godat with my most vulnerable situations. Yes, sometimes appointments take long, BUT it's because he doesn't rush. He has patience, knowledge, and attentiveness to all of his patients. His NP, Barbara is like a caring wise counselor and healer. His PA, Kelsey is smart, knows-her-stuff, and kind. Terry is always positive and handles the office business with class!

Dr. Godat has to be hands down the best OBGYN in Dallas! He takes the time to answer all your questions and concerns. He has such a wonderful staff, they are all so nice and very friendly.

Dr. Mark Godat is one of only two physicians I would ever recommend to anyone. He truly cares for his patients and has an amazing personality and sense of humor. He is the equivilent of the boy next door, the cool kid at school, and the book nerd who knows absolutely everything.

I honestly believe Dr. Godat hung the moon. I have been a patient of his for going on 12 years now but it wasn't until a few months ago I got to really experience the gift that he has. I had a very difficult pregnancy and an even more difficult delivery but doctor Godat was by my side every step of the way. He made it the most fun and yet magical experience. I could never put into words just how special he is. Dr. Godat was diagnosed with cancer when I was about 6 months pregnant, he did not let
