I've been receiving trans healthcare for many years before coming here but I still have trouble giving myself IM injections, which often results in inconsistent and missed doses-Dr. Goosen suggested we switch to subq. I was not aware that was an option prior, and for the first time I was able to give myself the injection quickly and without pain or hassle. So grateful she took the time to listen to me, this small change made such a big impact in my life.

We discussed get the pneumonia vaccine, however she didn't attach on an order and couldn't get done at the lab because they sent me to pharmacy but my insurance won't cover it . The doctor office wouldn't do it in the office because they were too backed up, so I haven't gotten it done.

Dr. Goossen was the best doctor I've seen in my life. For the first time I didn't feel rushed by the doctor, I'm used to the doctor briefly popping in. I wasn't feeling well with my issues and Dr. Goossen was thorough, compassionate, empathic, professional, smart and made me feel so comfortable under her care. The way she described everything to me so it made sense and listened and answered all of my questions was the best. I couldn't be more grateful and the world is lucky to have Doctors like her. I just wish she could be my doctor wherever I go.

I would tell everyone to avoid this doctor until she's humbled a little bit or just remembers that we are all knowledgeable in different areas and it's her responsibility to share information when her patients ask and to be kind and patient.
