Excellent physician. Great service.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/1/2026
I believe the whole thing worked as well as can be expected. It would be great if they would put a note in the front of the building that people are not to park at the very entrance unless they're actively loading or unloading patients. We love our Doctor Christopher Goodman!

Maybe a thinner needle if that's possible?

I always feel respected by Dr. Goodman and staff. I am disappointed that the doors are still hard to manage since the primary patient is geriatric and I have significant RA in my hands and shoulders.

no need to change anything. Everything went very well. Thank you

The medical professionals may have washed their hands before serving me, but unless they do it in my presence, I have no idea if they had washed their hands or not. Just a suggestion that it would build confidence if they wash their hands in the presence of the patient, but this is not a major concern for me. I am very pleased with my care at the Prisma office of internal medicine.

I am treated with respect and Dr. Goodman is always prepared for my visit, he and the staff. I have mentioned before in surveys the difficulty I have with the doors upon entering and exiting. I have severe arthritis and it requires a great deal of strength to use these doors. I will appreciate something being done about this situation and I will also appreciate a response to my request.

It was a very positive experience. I feel very lucky to have Dr. Goodman as my primary physician. I feel I am in very good hands and his staff supports him in making it all go smoothly.

I don't understand how my doctor can evaluate my health without examining me or listening to my heart, looking at my eyes and ears,etc.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/8/2025
Excellent, thoughtful care.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/1/2025
Dr. Goodman, nurses and staff exemplify the highest professionalism! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, particularly serious in my hands and shoulders. Please replace the doors with automatic entrance and exit function. The doors are entirely too heavy!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/20/2025
Shorter wait time? I didn't wait that long and was there early but also arrived during lunch time so I guess that is expected. No other issues. I have great respect and trust in Dr.Goodman as my PCP. THANK YOU.

Many of your online (MyChart) questionaires are annoying and unnecessary. One should not be encouraged or required to complete them. Just focus on providing reliable and good healthcare service.

I felt respected and listened to during my appointment.
