VERY DISAPPOINTING
AFTER NUMEROUS VISITS WITH DR. GOSS NOT TO MENTION ALL THE CO PAYS TO TELL ME THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER HE HAD EXCUSES TREATED ME AS IF I WAS JUST ANOTHER NUMBER. ALL ALONG I WAS IN MAJOR PAIN AND NEEDED ATTENTION BECAUSE OF A TORN ROTATOR CUFF TOOK ALL MY RECORDS TO A MORE PROFESSIONAL DOCTOR AND SCHEDULED FOR SURGERY. WITH ALL THAT MONEY AND TIME WASTED MISSING WORK WITH DR GOSS FOR ENDLESS RESULTS. NOT TO MENTION STAYING IN PAIN THROUGH ALL HIS MISHAPS, LOSS OF MRI'S, COULDNT READ THE EX RAYS, HAD TO RE DO SEVERAL TIMES WAITED LITERALY 3 HOURS ONE DAY, DIDNT HAVE BLOOD WORK WHEN I CAME FOR FOLLOW UP HAD BEEN DONE THE WEEK PRIOR... WEEKS AND WEEKS OF WASTED TIME AND MONEY... I DO NOT AT ALL RECOMMEND THIS DOCTOR....

In the 25 years I have been Dr. Goss's patient he has been one of my favorite Dr.s'. He has done 3 back surgeries and replaced my knee twice and I always had a quick recovery with great results.

He be experimenting on people and do not do an excellent job! He speed talk and treat you like a number. He did not send me to therapy after surgery and that causes you to have to go back and get a manipulation. I had to go to another doctor, and I was told the new doctor fixed over 30 patients that game from Dr. Goss; but he could not fix me.

Dr. Goss was highly reccomended to me by others when I needed surgery and I am glad I listened. My experience was that not only was Dr. Goss a very skilled surgeon (I was told by another Doctor I would at best walk with a limp the rest of my life; One year later no limp, no pain and hardly even a scar!) both he and all his staff were professional, courteous, and took time to listen and not try to rush me in and out like so many others do. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Goss to everyone!
