Appreciate his direct approach of cutting to the chase, (pun intended).

Great job , not a worry in the world about my choice
I would recommend him to anyone
Dr. Goodwin caring and thoughtful demeanor were evident throughout my stay. When I decided I needed to get back home not waiting for the two weeks followup he managed to fit me into his clinic schedule and fully test and evaluate my condition. Seeing the way he works with his staff and fellows I have to believe he is an excellent teacher. My experience though difficult was less painful than expected, I'm off even tylenol, and am sure that is due to his skill level.
This provider is one of the best! He goes the extra mile and then some, is kind and compassionate, functions on a human level, and treats you with respect and answers any question. His expertise is commendable. I am deeply grateful that he was my surgeon! I am also grateful to all his peers who assisted him. My husband noted they worked together like a well oiled machine and were right on top of everything. Thank you all so much!!
I felt my best interests were always upper most to Dr Goodwin.
The thing that impressed me most, was Dr. Goodwin's desire to spend as much time as I required to discuss my treatment before and after the procedure.
Great Guy! Very Caring! And personable! Very thankful for Him!
Dr Matthew Goodwin is a top grade A surgeon. He treated my husband and our family so well. We were confident in his ideas and suggestions that he made to us to include us in my husbands care. He went above and beyond to get all of the paperwork filled out and forwarded on to our hospital insurance so we would be covered while my husband was recovering. Excellent doctor and his nurses Ellie and Anne are amazing as well. Thank you thank you thank you!
I have nothing negative to say about Dr. Goodwin. He answered my questions and I felt he was honest & sincere with his answers. I also liked his sense of humor.
Dr Goodwin is an excellent doctor. Very thorough and goes above and beyond for his patients.
Dr. Goodwin was very friendly & he explained everything to me that I needed.
Dr. Goodwin and his entire team are incredibly intelligent and caring. I had my aortic valve replacement via open heart surgery. During my hospital stay I was well informed of my progress and felt they deeply cared about my concerns. After my discharge from the hospital, they were quick to respond to questions and concerns via My Chart and by phone. They were also instrumental in coordinating my care with our remote rural hospital team. I have immense confidence and so much respect for Dr. Goodwin and his team.
I feel lucky to have him as a provider
Caring doctor towards his patients .
I had a great experience with Dr. Goodwin and his team. I feel lucky that he was my surgeon because he listened to me, did not push me to make a quick decision and then repaired my mitral valve when I was ready. The whole experience was positive.
He is an all around fantastic surgeon. He literally saved my life!
I have nothing to say but good things about Dr goodwin. He listened to me, answered my questions, and was willing to let me question if I was doing the right thing without being offended. The whole experience of having open heart surgery at the University of Utah was positive.
very straight forward and careful to explain things to me
I would not be here today if it wasn't for DR Goodwin and his team. Thank you.
Dr Goodwin is superior in all respects of cardiology and patient care!
Dr Matthew Goodwin is a physician who not only took the necessary steps & protocols to insure that he would have complete data when he met with me but he listened very carefully & answered all of my questions so that I understood all that was necessary for me to be comfortable with the tests and data. I highly recommend Dr Matthew Goodwin to anyone who has aortic aneurysms as you will be in the highest of professional care.
He is thoughtful and clear in his explanations. Great bedside manners and takes time to talk.
Very knowledgeable and kind. He keeps things calm in a could be tense time. Easy to talk with. Pleasant. He never has seemed to be in a hurry ti answer questions.

Dr Goodwin was wonderful. I could tell he cared abt me and the outcome. Great bedside manner.
Very professional. Knew what needs to happen and got me to surgery very quickly. Follow ups have been great.
He was out the day I came in for surgery follow up (got pulled in to an emergency surgery), but the rest of the team filled in seamlessly.
He is the best
Exactly what you want in a doctor
Dr Goodwin is a phenomenal surgeon and saved my life. He has an amazing bedside manner that instantly put you at ease and has a very calming presence, he immediately put me at ease at our first appointment even when he was giving me bad news. I immediately knew I could trust him and that he would do his absolute best for me. He talks and explains things very clearly and in terms that a non medical professional could easily understand.I feel very blessed that I was referred to him.
Pleasant, informative
He is my superhero with excellent knowledge of his profession. I am 68 and thought my life was over until I met him and was confident in his skills and team. Everyone in the hospital held him in the highest regard. I am so proud of this young Doctor.
Amazing man and amazing cardiologist. He was wonderful with our special abilities brother. He took the time to get to know him and listened and took a great amount of time to hear our concerns about his feelings and about his fears..we could not have been teamed up with a better physician and his team.
Due to a snow storm I was unable to travel to his clinic, but he was very willing to meet with me virtually so I did not have to reschedule. He is genuine.
Absolutely great. I feel very comfortable with him making the decisions that I've entrusted him with making
Dr. Goodwin helped tremendously with information and common sense, as to make decisions that were needed.
