SUGAR HOUSE HEALTH CENTER

She's very welcoming and warm and did a great job with our son. She explained everything, and answered all of our questions.

SUGAR HOUSE HEALTH CENTER

I would recommend Dr. Goosen to anyone seeking medical care. She is the epitome of kind, compassionate, educated health care. I have had an array of medical conditions - from long Covid to a miscarriage - and she was supportive and kind, in addition to thorough with the tests performed and recommended.

SUGAR HOUSE HEALTH CENTER

During virtual visit their was some lag time between the conversation.

SUGAR HOUSE HEALTH CENTER

Getting my IUD put in was extremely painful due to a weird uterus. Dr. Goosen was wonderful about explaining when I wanted her to, stopping when I didn't, telling me what was going on, and trying to help me manage the pain. She was excellent and I hope to keep her as my doctor.

SUGAR HOUSE HEALTH CENTER

very caring and well informed provider

SUGAR HOUSE HEALTH CENTER

There was not enough time in one visit to cover all medical questions/concerns. I look forward to discussion about test results and proposed treatment at the followup appointment.

SUGAR HOUSE HEALTH CENTER

Excellent, responsive physician!

SUGAR HOUSE HEALTH CENTER

she was very easy to talk to, even virtually. she listened to my questions and when she didn't know the answer, she consulted others and was able to send me an answer.

SUGAR HOUSE HEALTH CENTER

The provider had to refer me outside their service so they weren't able to discuss the treatment in detail
