As an independent physician, Dr. Michael Goodman departs from today’s mainstream practices in order to be the kind of physician most patients dream of. And if you happen to be female, you are doubly in luck (no offense, fellas; he hasn’t fully left you out, as you will see). Yes, his practice takes in the normal spectrum of a gynecological practice, but he has taken it further - much further. If you have concerns with menopause, bone density, or vulvo-vaginal aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, he’s your doc. And we cannot forget sexual medicine.
Dr. Goodman is set apart, on numerous levels, from many of the physicians of today. Since he is not part of managed care, in which someone else determines who you will see and how much time the physician can spend with a patient, he has the freedom to give his patients the care he feels they deserve. “I don’t participate in managed care, but I do participate in PPO [preferred provider organizations] where patients have their choice. I enjoy practicing medicine this way - a lot more satisfying than seeing five to six patients an hour,” he stated. “I spend 45 minutes to an hour with new patients. And I see return patients for 20 to 30 minutes.”
