I cannot express how wonderful Dr Goforth has been. He really listens to me, explains things well, doesn't rush me, and I get the sense that he really wants to help me. It feels rare to find a doctor that doesn't rush and understands that you know your body best. He also validated my worries and fears as my migraines have been very scary and have caused me a lot of anxiety. I am so grateful to have found Dr Goforth and would recommend him to anyone.
