Dr. Carl Goolsby is an angel. I have been in the emergency room two times in one week and they did not even help me. Dr. Goolsby listened to me. He helped me get an appointment with neurology. He listened to everything that I was saying and he was genuinely concerned about my health and the pain that I was in. I cannot thank him enough.
