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.

Very compassionate and caring physician
Dr. Goomber was great and his technique giving the back injection is the best. Wasn’t in the procedure room but maybe 5-10 minutes and hardly felt anything. Walked out of the appointment with complete relief! Highly recommend!

Pain free!!!
Saw Dr Goomber after hurting my back at work. I’ve had pain for over a year with no improvement with PT. He did an injection for me in 2024 and I can honestly say my pain is all gone. Best doctor I’ve ever been to!

$460 for 22 minute miss
Dr. Goomber did not explain what his paperwork said he did. He misdiagnosed my condition and billed me $460 for a 22 minute visit. Since his office is at a hospital site, I had to use my insurance deductible. Will not schedule an appointment with him again.

DR. Goomber is the best. I see him for sciatica in my leg it was so bad that I couldn't sit or stand nothing would help. DR. Goomber is awesome my sciatica is amazing my sciatica hasn't acted up in quite awhile but if it does one quick call to his office and I'm in. His staff is friendly and caring just like the DR. I'm telling you he's worth a shot.

Pain No More – Nov 20, 2021

I saw Dr. Goomber after suffering through most of the summer with a herniated disc. Although there was nothing remarkable about the course of treatment, I found Dr. Goomber to be personable, professional and truly dedicated to improving my quality of life. I look forward to continuing to work with Dr. Goomber as my health improves.

My back is all messed up from another hospital organization, and Dr. Goomber has managed to get me back on a path that I should be able to run again. I thoroughly appreciate how tentative he listens and exams all images that he is provided to provide the correct course of healing.

11/26/19 Finally found a good doctor! I actually enjoyed our visit. He was very professional, kind, and explained every detail. I found answers I have been looking for from 3 other docs and 6 months. I finally have a plan for the future, and finally a diagnosis! Can't say enough good things about him.

I cannot say enough pleasant things about Dr. Goomber’s practice and his staff. From the front desk, to the nurses, and Dr. Goomber, each and every one of them make me feel welcomed and are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Dr. Goomber’s demeanor and bed-side manner is calm, positive, thorough and attentive and his treatment plan of action for me has been a total success. The office runs on time and all of my appointments are a great office experience that is rarely seen these days and is greatly appreciated. I highly recommend his office to anyone that is need of pain management care.

I am a patient of Dr. Roger Goomber for L4 & L5 herniations. I am not able to walk properly with extreme back, leg pain. I went in for an out patient procedure after a primary consultation with the doctor. He explained everything that caused my issues including my MRI taken a 3 weeks ago. My procedure took less than 15 minutes with very little pain. Each step was explained by Doctor Goomber for prepping me while applying an local anesthetic and the spinal injection. The doctor was wonderful.

I had several pain management doctors before I met Dr. Goomber. Dr. Goomber is excellent. He carefully listens to his patients' problems and designed a plan to alleviate those problems. I have been with Dr. Goomber for several years. He has enabled me to participate in activities I would not be able to without his expertise and commitment.
