Thanks for seeing me!

Very thorough. Explained everything that was going on with my shoulder on a way I could understand. Took time to explain options with models so I could see exactly what the procedure would be if I needed shoulder replacement. After surgery met with my family and thoroughly explained surgery and next steps. Was available after surgery by phone or text if I had any questions or problems. Highly recommend Dr Goodwin for his expertise, approach, communication and follow up!
