Larry Gooss Md's Online Review Report Card

I've been a patient of Dr. Gooss for about ten years, and he has ALWAYS taken time to listen to what I have to say, to answer my questions in full, and we discuss possible treatments together and settle on the one that's best for me. He's kind, thoughtful, caring, and he's an exceptionally good listener. I chose him because he's young, and I wanted a doc that wouldn't retire before I die. I'm in good hands with this doc, and my only negative is that when I finally admit that I'm sick, I can't always get in to see him because I waited too long to call and his walk-in appts are already taken. He's an excellent physician.

Dr. Gooss explained condition and options very well. Takes time to answer all my questions. I have never felt rushed even when he's squeezed me in.

Dr Gooss is very attentive, kind, offers alternative suggestions to health issues that may or may not require medication. You never feel rushed, to me very important.

Dr Gooss is very approachable and takes his time to listen to you, to consider your suggestions, and to give you options for your care. He's up to date on all the newer information and has been knowledgeable about everything I've wanted to talk aboutwith him. His staff is warm and welcoming and very accommodating.

I have seen Dr. Gooss for 4 years. He has always been caring, thoughtful and put me at complete ease. He takes the time to listen to you and I couldn't recommend him highly enough. He is the best primary care doctor I have ever had! I love my doctor :)

I could not be more pleased with Dr. Gooss and his staff. I’m a nurse and find him to have a wonderful bedside manner, he is patient and immensely knowledgeable. He is a dying breed. Will not see anyone else. Highly recommend

I think Dr. Gooss is an amazing doctor and trust him in a lot of cases over my specialist doctors. He and I think alike so we make a good team when diagnosing my many medical issues. He always gives me plenty of time. His staff is AWESOME!!! I feel blessed to have found Dr. Gooss’ Office. I always leave there with results and answers.

Saw him and after 3 weeks of being sick and stating that I feel that I was getting worse and needing antibiotic, he disagreed and said just give it more time. Left for vacation 3 days later and called starting worse than 3 days earlier and declining. Would not call in antibiotic and said to go to a clinic. Went and told the Nurse Practitioner atvthe clinic the same. She didnt like how long I had been sick for, ordered a chest xray. I had walking pneumonia, put on antibiotics. Also when I did have my visit with Dr Gooss, he was to call in 3 Rx to my mail order pharm. Well they were never sent. This was the 2nd time this happened, leaving me without my meds until they arrived. Local pharm couldn't fill as insurance saw the 90 day script. Yeah, I am done. Time for a new Dr!

Dr Gooss will take the time and be in the room while you talk. However, he seems to get confused when there are complex health issues. I felt like he was preparing his response when I spoke rather than listening to what I was saying. This was further supported by what I feel is a misdiagnosis. He also did not ask questions but rather assumed things...incorrectly. If I didn't have health problems that need management, I would continue going to him. He is affable.

Dr Gooss will take the time and be in the room while you talk.The office staff are fantastic. However, he seems to get confused when there are complex health issues. I was recently inappropriately diagnosed with something. It is clear that he didn't actually hear what I said or understand the situation because there were multiple errors in his interpretation. For example, the word "not" is critical for understanding spoken language. I felt like he was preparing his response when I spoke rather than actually listening. He also interpreted my thoughts rather than asking. That explains the errors. If I were in good health and only needed an affable doctor, he would be the one. Q
