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.

Horrible and uncaring. Enjoys making patients cry when they don't agree with his opinion. Will actually name call you.

First time seeing Dr. Goolsby and I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. Found out I was pregnant and he explained labs I needed, best meds for me to take as I have high blood pressure. Easy to talk to, gentle, and caring. ??????????I didn’t wait very long even though he explained they were little short staffed. I waited maybe 10-15 minutes. Which is great compared to some doctors offices I’ve been too. Staff very friendly too. Definitely recommend!

I have been going to Dr. Goolsby for over 16 years . He’s friend nice and has amazing bedside manners. I lived out of state but still traveled to see him because of trust and comfort . I would recommend him that anyone and I love his staff. By far he’s the best GYN that I have ever come across . Many don’t like to see men gynecologists because of fear of them not being gentle . He’s gentle , kind and caring . If u need to talk to him he calls u back . Love this FELLA

He is a wonderful doctor, so compassionate and caring. I was comfortable with him throughout my pregnancies and deliveries. He listened to our needs and followed through with what we wanted. My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, and he called a week after to check on me. In my second pregnancy, I developed complications and had a c section. With my third, he worked with a hematologist to provide the best care for my baby and me, and I had a VBAC. We moved out of state. He was a blessing!!

Dr. Goolsby is a very caring doctor with amazing bedside manner. He is very knowledgeable and honest. The staff in his office is some of the nicest people that I have ever met. He delivered my last child 10 years ago and performed surgery on me 5 months ago.

Doctor Goolsby was nice, his nurse was nice as well but the follow up on labs was slow.

Dr Goolsby and his staff have always been so good to me. I've been through many GYN's and he is by far the best.
