I appreciate Dr Goolsby , I am a new patient and he's was more into listening and learning about my health and needs. I knew he had already studied my chart because he spoke of details I did not mention . Also his assistant Simone was so kind and comforting. He even walked me to the door. I seriously never had such good care. I had to go do bloodwork and the next day he responded with the results. He truly cares and I'm so blessed he accepted me as a new patient. Thank you Dr Goolsby and team.

Dr. Goolsby is one of the best doctors that I have ever seen. His staff is always friendly, very helpful, and Dr. Goolsby listens to you and makes recommendations of your health. And quite frankly, I would not go to any other doctor.

Nurse practitioner, Simone, has a wonderful personality and she's very professional. I've only seen her twice and I've had just a great experience with her both times. The same with Dr. Goolsby. It's a shame. My understanding is he's going to be retiring soon in the next two or three years. It's just a shame that he has to go because he is a pleasure of a man, very knowledgeable, very personable, very professional. So I'm grateful to have become a new patient of his, even though it's toward the end of his career. Thank you.
