“I recently had a virtual appointment with Dr. Goodson and it was a great experience from start to finish! Dr. Goodson was attentive, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable even though we were meeting virtually. She took the time to listen to all of my concerns, asked insightful questions, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed, and she was genuinely invested in helping me. The convenience of the virtual format didn’t take away from the personal touch that Dr. Goodson brought to the appointment. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a compassionate and professional doctor who goes above and beyond—even from afar!”

I have definitely found my new PCP with NP Fisher!
Verified patient
I attempted to book an appointment with this provider. I received an email the Sunday before the appointment (on Tuesday) telling me the appointment was canceled and the next available appointment would be 9 days later. I tried to book the next available appointment - but the portal didn't allow it. I tried calling to confirm the appointment, but the number doesn't work. Just a very difficult and frustrating time for someone trying to manage ADHD, which makes completing tasks like this so much harder.

I love Timika! She is proactive, and she also asks all the necessary questions. As a black woman, I think it's imperative to have someone who can relate and understand you.
Verified patientVideo visit
Well, the wait time was not 2 hours but over 10mins. Unfortunately, for me that is unacceptable for the first encounter. Time is valuable and if the provider has scheduled appointments too close to each other that they are unable to be on time that is a problem. It gives off the impression the provider may be over extended. I wish her well but that was not a good look (or feel) for the initial visit.

My appointment was a pleasant experience. My health concern was listened to and addressed. I'm very happy with the practitioner and her style.

I loved my consultation and look forward to future appointments! She was extremely knowledgeable especially with my health concerns. She was extremely sweet, friendly, and caring. She addressed every concern and asked multiple times if I had any questions or concerns to ensure I didn’t forget any topic I wanted to address. She provided clear next steps (a plan!) and provided a few avenues based on the results of our current step in the plan. Also, I didn’t feel rushed at any point of the appointment. I am super grateful to have found a doctor I feel comfortable talking to about my health and I do feel like my health will flourish under her care.

I absolutely adored Timika and her service. I especially enjoyed the intimacy of her office as she was the only one in her suite. Timika had such a warm, inviting demeanor I instantly felt comfortable with her. On our initial video visit we were able to refill my prescriptions and get to know each other a little better. During our second visit we handled all of the doctor stuff and her bedside manner was immaculate!

Timika was a pleasure to see. She listened to me, refilled all of my prescriptions and gave me referrals to specialists that we both agreed I needed. I will definitely be staying with her long term.
