Our mission and method:
My goal is to render comprehensive oral and dental care for each patient in accordance with his or her individual needs. Medical conditions are addressed regarding their impact on dental treatment. Thorough examination and accurate diagnosis completes the first phase. For healthy individuals, treatment can end right there. Any necessary treatment is performed according to the highest standard. Time and money are taken into consideration.
Any treatment I cannot personally render is referred to the most reputable time-proven specialists. I use only the most predictable, proven, acceptable, modern, scientific methods. I try to follow treatment through so it's completed properly the first time, without need for re-treatment in the near future. Once treatment is completed, I expect long-term success; only basic maintenance and prevention should be necessary. Prevention then becomes "the name of the game". For example, I've been doing cancer exams, fluoride treatments and much more for over 30 years.
About Our Practice
Dr. Goodman shares the office with two other dentists. We each have our own individual practices but share the facilities including a high tech fully equipped laboratory with three extraordinary technicians. However we still consider ourselves "a team" in terms of the staff and resources, as well as occasional treatment plans and emergencies. Porcelain laminates, porcelain and gold crowns, baked acrylic temporaries, cosmetic color matching and custom coloring are all performed on the premises.

Office Policy
. Payment is due at the time services are rendered. We will be happy to fill out your insurance forms immediately so that you can be reimbursed, for whatever % your company pays.
At our office we try to run on time. This is accomplished by working strictly by an appointment only policy. Of course, emergencies are an exception to this rule. There is a fee for appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice. Although we try to be fair wasted time denies other patients time with us.
