    Dr. Goodenough, is an outstanding Dr. He is kind, attentive, great at listening and assessing your needs to give top of the line care. He allows you to joke around when you're in extreme pain because he understands the importance of having humor in terrible situations. I was in a very horrific car accident which caused some pretty serious damage and he has helped me through it with a very caring and compassionate attitude. He is also willing to work with me when I go back home to Idaho. I can't thank him and his team enough for all they have done for me. I'd give him a 20, out of 5 stars. Keep being an impeccable Dr. Dr Goodenough! You're amazing and I appreciate you greatly. Sincerely, [NAME REMOVED]
