Maurice L. Goins's Online Review Report Card

ZERO STARS. Im in disbelief about my appointment. How does this man have a license? I have been in pain for years Ive waited well over a month and a half to see this man and this was my experience? Dr. Goins is rude and very dismissive. After he looked at my MRI and gave me his quick thoughts that was it. After that his attitude was well I did my part. Bye.I had questions about whats going on with my back and my pain and he just starting walking out of the room. I had to say please to get him to stay in the room. To him that meant Ok one question then Im leaving because this man literally WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM after I got ONE question out. He didnt even really answer the question. I have never met a more dismissive doctor in my life. I am genuinely shocked at his behavior. He couldnt even pretend to care. Please do not see Goins for anything see Dr. Harvey instead.

Dr Goins and Spencer are amazing. He makes sure you understand what procedure is needed you are open to ask any questions you may have. I received so much information to read before surgery I was ready and comfortable at all time. His staff gets things done right away and appreciate them so much.Dr Goins and his total staff are my medical angels ??

been dealing with Dr Goins for well over a year and hes very professional and will do whatever he can to help you.

Dr.Goins performed back surgery on me on Dec.2004while we both was in the US Navy at Balboa Naval Hospital San DiegoCa. He did a magnificent job.

I gave 1 star but I would put 0.... Im beyond disappointed with the overall experience I seen Dr. Goins one time and he seemed genuine and concerned. He ordered MRIs stat and then called me with my results and referring me to an Emory neurosurgeon prior to continuing treatment come to find out this neurosurgeon hasnt been at this practice for years. I contacted his staff and never received a followup as I called 2xs and informed them of my symptoms becoming worse. Im a single mom with 4 girls so this situation has been taking a toll for a few months. Bed side manner and communication is of the utmost importance to me I dont want to be a FILE name if someone has to go digging in my spine. To let obscene amount of time to go by without a follow up is frustrating. Time is of the essence and I didnt experience that... from Resurgeons either as he was not my first doctor there.

The place is ok but Dr. Goins I think is unprofessional. After completion of surgery on my wife he did not come out and give me the report on how everything went and later I found out he went home. I watched all the other Doctors come out and speak to their clients but he fell to do the same. I sat in that waiting area for 10 hours and still dont know how my wife is doing. The nurse said she appears to but okay but shes not the doctor and cant give me any information. They paiged him and left my number and I still got no answer I then called his office and once again no answer.

If i could...i will give him no stars. About 6 months ago I took my mom with him because of a recommendation from another doctor who said he was a great doctor. Well I took her with him a couple of times and some of them..he didnt even show up and they didnt took the time to give us a call so we wouldnt drive so far. He clearly said to my mom she could have surgery in one of her appointments...but that he wanted for her to try physical therapy and more injections for pain...and he said that if that didnt help he would start sending her for blood work and cardiologist for the surgery.My mom did everything and nothing helped...she reached the point where she could barely walk. We went to see him to plan for the surgery and he just said he couldnt do it because it was very risky because of her medical conditions diabetes cholesterol hypertension and he never said that at the very beginning he didnt even send her with cardiologist or for the blood work. He gave my mom hopes and nothing else. He just wanted money I guess...made us waste our time...my mom felt very disappointed and hopeless after that visit.But guess what? My mom didnt gave up and went to Mexico with a great doctor who has cured a lot of people who have been told they have no cure or that they cant do surgery on them.My mom had surgery days ago and she came out perfect She looks so happy and she can walk and looks much straighter. I cant thank that doctor enough. Faith was strong too...but the doctor you choose is very important. Keep your self from going with Goins. And no matter what you have to pay you health is more important than anything...so search well to find your Angel.

I have seen Dr Goins on and off with my back issues. He over time has performed 3 separate surgies on my back. Dr. Goins has been wonderful and caring to me. He listens to what I have to say and genuinely seems to care. His staff have always been very curtious. The only negative I have is when I started seeing him back in 2009 2010 you actually saw him ever appointment know 20192020 you have to see either his NP or PA to get an appointment in timely factor. I like his NA Kimberly but I never want to see his PA Shane after his poorly personal treatment of me in the hospital the day after I had surgery. I have also had many appointments with Dr. Kelly for epidural back injection and he is fabulous caring listens and he is very gentle administering the injections. And if I dont get relief with injections he gets me back over to Dr. Goins. I would not have any second thoughts in recommending Dr. Goins or Dr. Kelly.

When imaging showed beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was a herniated disc at the L1L2 level Dr. Goins suggested that the problem was in thee hip and chose to pursue that rather than the spinal issue. Ended up dropping Resurgens for Polaris Spine in Atlanta. Surgery at L1L2 resolved the issue. Dr. Goins should have paid attention to his NP who apparently knew more than he did.

Where do I start. He has done multiple back surgeries on me and neck surgery. Always a well manner man. They make sure you understand and ask you if there are any questions. I wouldnt change Dr Goins Dr Rowland for nothing. Thanks for being there to fix what was possible .
