Dr. Goree always has a competent professional demeanor. I've been a patient for several years and he has educated me enough about my conditions to make our follow up visits easy and efficient. Having been to several other providers (6-7) prior to meeting Dr. Goree, I can easily say his knowledge and skill are at the top of his profession. The previous providers didn't seem to care much about discussing my health issues prior to scheduling procedures, they simply looked at my films and notes and made their plan. Dr. Goree obviously reviews records, but also takes the time to discuss results of previous procedures and adjusts as necessary based on the patients experience.
