Dr. Michael Goodman MD

Not just adding years to your life – adding life to your years

cover I welcome women and their partners in all areas of my integrative gynecology practice where I specialize in menopause, health enhancement, sexual medicine, difficult Gyn issues, bone density, and vulvovaginal aesthetic surgery. I enjoy and am experienced in helping to maintain and enhance wellness, as well as explaining and sorting out the causes of problems and involving my patients in the therapeutic decision-making process. I take time to LISTEN; I see only 1-2 patients/hour.

I am pleased to include patients suffering from menstrual irregularities, PCOS, PMS, hormonal issues, pelvic support/incontinence problems, vaginal aesthetic issues, among others. I work with the entire individual, not referring my patients to several different doctors for every little thing... All ultrasound, bone density measurement, etc is performed ON-SITE. If applicable, I am trained, capable and experienced in performing the most knowledgable and up-to-date surgical procedure available.
