Gynecological Exams

All of the staff was kind and I was able to get into and out of my appointment quickly. The lab tech drawing blood was quick as well, and did a fantastic job. Usually, I have to be stuck a few times before a vein is found and she did so immediately. Dr. Goodwin was fantastic as always.

Pap Smear

Dr Goodwin is always personable, honest, to the point, funny, and a joy to see. I couldn’t ask for a better doctor for the last 6 years.

Love Dr Goodwin. Kind, thorough, listens to concerns and questions each visit. Only downside was an extended wait time (50+minutes to see the nurse)

Great feedback from Dr Goodwin. Not thrilled with instrument used to take photos/vildeos since it was too warm when inserted and we had to give it time to cool down

Prolia® Injection / Osteopososis Treatment

It was my first time meeting Dr Goodwin, since Dr Hawes retired. She is a whip-smart, compassionate provider. I am over the moon over the good luck of being paired with her. She has already helped me with my HRT, and has given me some good suggestions about finding an endocrinologist out of town, until I'm seen by the local endoc. I have taken her advise and I have an appt in Winston-Salem for 7/2024. It's been 5 weeks since the referral went to the AVL endoc group and they still haven't called me to schedule an appt, which Dr G informed me that it could be a good 6-7 months from the point they call me. So I'm going to get treated sooner thanks for her input. Yup, she's a winner!

Seeing Dr. Goodwin is like visiting an old friend! She makes you feel at home (even when you are in the stirrups). You feel lke she is happy to see you and takes her time to do whatever it is that you came to see her for.
