    I was satisfied as always with the care I received from Dr. Goossen. I always feel listened to, and like I'm able to get what I need from the appointment without having to jump through a ton of hoops. I always leave feeling accommodated, and like I have a clear means of communication if I have further questions. Definitely the best doctor I've ever had.
