It wasn't recently but, while my family was under his care, there was not one thing that slipped by him. I only wish he was still in Copperopolis. read more

Dr. Goodman, Ted, Yajaira and his team are amazing. They are all kind, patient and very attentive.

I work as an EMT and needed to update my DOT physical for my ambulance license. Everyone that works in this office is kind and officiant. Dr Goodman did an actual physical compared to other medical examiners I've used in the past. Last week (months after my visit) I needed a copy of my physical exam paperwork during a dreaded trip to the DMV. The nice woman answered on the first ring and emailed me with everything I needed instantly. So awesome in comparison to other Dr offices these days. I will definitely be coming back every two years! read more

After going through numerous doctors after dealing with long haul Covid for months, Dr. Goodman has been the most helpful. He's very responsive to all my messages and I don't have to wait months for a doctors appointment. He's a good listener and takes the time to answer all of your questions. He's done a lot of research into my condition and taught me a lot. read more

I've worked with a few different workers comp doctors over the years, and I can confidently say that Dr Goodman is the best. Many workers comp doctors are extremely busy and spend very little time with their patients, and it shows in their "bedside manner". This is where Dr Goodman is different. He and his associate doctors are kind, professional, and take time to understand and help individuals who find themselves injured and seeking help. If you are injured on the job, Dr Goodman and his practice is where the bar should be set for patient care. I would recommend this practice to anyone. 5 stars read more

Very impressive office. Dr. Goodman has been my FAA medical examiner for 5 years. His diligence and professionalism are always admirable. read more

David E Goodman, MD, MSE - Internal Medicine Near Me - Novato, California

See all

Dr. Jeff Stevenson (RIP sweet man) was my Doctor for 13 years. We were all devastated when we lost him. It took a couple of months before a replacement was found, and I am happy to say that "a good man" has stepped in to take over his practice. Please forgive the pun...I could not help it! Dr. Goodman was thorough, and compassionate, making my initial transition easy and comfortable. Thank you! read more

had a appointment at 2pm didn't see anyone unit 330pm. with no other patients in the room this was the worst wait I have ever experienced. read more

Amazing experience! I found Dr. Goodman to be diligent, knowledgeable about the process and procedures involved, responsive and efficient. He also uses technology as it should be: improving one's experience instead of using it for the sake of charging more or presenting a differentiator with other surgeries. I am new to the US medical scene (Dr. Goodman provided my immigration medical check) and having come from the UK, I am considering using his services permanently while living here. read more

Dr David Goodman , Was great call him and right away made a app for Sunday reasonable price compared to other doctors his communication was great I talk directly to him not the staff . Highly recommend him read more

Dr David Goodman is experienced, thoughtful, caring, and a good listener. It seems his mission is to do what is best for his patients. Even when it was clear that I would not become one of his patients he gave me a consultation and some good advice and I can tell he is a genuine doctor that is not just in it for the money. read more

In ancient Greece the Hippocratic Oath saw it's birth requiring physician to swear to uphold specific ethical standards. Both me and my wife feel that he does not just follow those standards, he literally lives them. We found him through a couple of good reviews and we were not disappointed. He does not treat you like a product on an assembly line, but instead takes all the time in the world to care for you - and then some more. When I found out that I had to move a time-critical appointment because of work he agreed to see us on a Sunday; at no additional cost. If every physician would treat their patient like Dr. Goodman treats his the world would be a lot healthier; and especially stress free! I can recommend Dr. Goodman to anybody! read more

Dr Goodman is caring and open minded. He stayed after normal business hours to accommodate a late appointment for me. He even answers emails after normal business hours. He is incredibly knowledgable and humble enough to research things he's no familiar with. It is amazing to have a doctor who is honest and willing to listen. read more

I had the good luck of being able to make a first-time appointment with Dr. Goodman within 48 hours of my health issue occurring, as he had a cancellation. Booking the appointment was easy and straightforward, and the communication via a third-party messenger was also easy to use and very convenient. I was thrilled to find a pay-as-you-go Doctor with affordable rates. Doctor Goodman was personable, explained things to me in layman's terms so I could grasp it, actually listened to what I had to say, and was an overall pleasure to deal with. I'll be coming back... but hopefully not too soon. read more

I found Dr Goodman after my previous FAA medical examiner retired. I knew my renewal was going to have a few snags but Dr Goodman worked through the process with me fairly and efficiently. I got my renewal quickly and with minimal trouble. Will definitely be coming back in the future and would recommend him for any FAA medicals read more

Dr. Goodman is a rare physician who listens to your complaints and does his best to address them. I am a retired firefighter with a few bang ups throughout my career. What separates him from most physicians is that he will fight for you with insurance companies to make sure you get the best possible care. The office staff is amazing and responsive. I cannot say enough about this office as my condition has improved due to their diligent care. read more

Dr David has been the most professional Doctor I have come across. His knowledge and willingness to help his patients surprises me. He went out of the way to help me and was very passionate. Technology I saw in his clinic was outclass. He saves his patient's time. He helped me in a very limited timeline when I needed some documents while other doctors were not able to process them as quick. I had the best experience , he is friendly and provided advise in a medical situation that I did not even pay for. His experience matters a lot as he has been related to some of the top medical institutions in the country. read more

Dr. Goodman was very friendly, professional and helpful. Easy parking, friendly and very knowledgeable doctor. Highly recommended!!!

Very unusual medical experience. This doctor actually takes the time to listen to the patient. He really shows alot of concern ,to try to figure out your medical issue. First doctor in marin who didn't try to sell me some supplements also. Very impressed. read more

After deciding I could use a new primary care Dr due to long waits to see my current one as well as front desk issues.. I went to Yelp. After searching online I was getting frustrated and then saw the reviews for Dr Goodman and from there it was all so easy... from booking online to the relaxed environment. He spent time to go over my concerns. I did not feel rushed. Just heard and informed. Very helpful! So the thing is Dr Goodman does not take insurance.. but you can submit the claim. Also my copay is around $50 so for an extra $50 for a follow-up visit I get quality timely care..its your health... so worth it! Highly recommend!! read more

Wow. As an airmen with a special issuance 3rd class, needing to find a new AME due to my prior one retiring, and during COVID, I could not imagine how difficult that might be. Ultimately, I found Dr Goodman, and came to see him for this complicated process. Not only did he do a brilliant job; he is himself brilliant, friendly, caring, and just about everything that a doctor should be when we dream of one. I even screwed up my first visit, necessitating a second one that was my fault, and he took it in stride and fit me in within the tight FAA timelines even though his schedule is booked for weeks out. And then he didn't charge me for that first, botched visit. His staff is similarly incredible, friendly and helpful and accommodating on every level. Anyone who has Dr Goodman as their GP must count themselves truly lucky. If you are looking for a doctor, and he has an opening for you, I am confident that you will count yourself lucky as well. read more

Dr. Goodman is professional and personable. Dr. Goodman does Airman's Physicals for which pilots are required to pass every two years. I went​ to Dr. Goodman for my bi-annual​ physical done after my previous AME doctor retired. Easy to schedule an appointment, convenient location, ​and a stress-free​ environment. I will be seeing Dr. Goodman for my Airman's Physicals as long as I am flying. read more

The best combination of current knowledge, availability, responsiveness and 'bedside manner' I have seen in a long time. Using the latest technology together with old fashioned listening to the patient, Dr. Goodman also responsibly constructs a preventative health and lifestyle plan. read more

I went to Dr Goodman for a physical and vaccination. He is great. Very nice, polite and friendly. Very patient, he explains all my concerns. He is also a techie too with all the gadgets connect to his phone, which makes things really quick and easy. Thanks! Ps: he speaks Spanish too. read more

Dr.David Goodman is very nice and professional. I went to see him for my immigration medical exam. I feel so grateful that I was able to get the appointment on a very short notice. I will definitely visit him next time. Highly recommend! read more

When my family needed to get our USCIS medicals i found a few in the area. After calling all the numbers i chose Dr Goodman, as he had such a friendly and professional demeanour over the phone. I wasn't disappointed and even though there were 6 of us, he was really professional and courteous the whole time, even when one of my daughters was getting over anxious about her vaccination, he helped her calm down. Couldn't recommend him enough. I love that he's only down the road if we need to see a Doctor :) read more

I would highly recommend this clinic. I called in to schedule an appointment for immigration medical exam. I was running late with it since my last exam was expired and an interview for green card was coming up in a week from the day I called. I had a lot of questions and was very stressed and worried a specially after having a horrible experience at another clinic where I was looking for the same service. The ladies were extremely helpful and patient with me. They walked me through everything over the phone. They scheduled me an appointment on the day before my interview day and recommend to go to my local hospital to have the blood work done. They told me that it usually takes around 5 business days to get blood work done and that they should get everything on time! I got the blood order in my email very quickly the same day and had my blood test done the next morning. On the day of my appointment they had all my results and in the few minutes after my medical examination by Doctor David E. Goodman I got the sealed envelope with my results for an interview next morning! Very delightful and a great place and people! Thanks again to all ladies at the reception and to the Doctor for helping me in such a short time! read more

This Doctor is awesome. I needed immediate care on a Sunday afternoon. He was available and gave me the most thorough care I have had from quite possibly any healthcare provider ever. He took his time to make sure he provided the right treatment for me. I am from out of state, but wished I lived closer so I could have him be my primary care physician. Seeing him is well worth the hassle of paying out of pocket or dealing with being reimbursed as he doesn't take insurance. read more

we are VERY LUCKY to have come across Dr Goodman. we found that alot of the other Civil Surgeons around Marin charges on average the same higher price. Dr Goodman is very personable and did not charge us an arm and leg. what is AWESOME is hes actually opened on sundays! this worked perfectly for our schedule as I work M-F. If you are looking to meet a doc for your immigration needs, dont look any further than Dr Goodman! thank you again!!!!! read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Goodman a few months ago. I was seeking help for a long standing array of medical issues and was miserable. After seeing another doctor in the area that was not knowledgable and offered no insight, I stumbled onto Dr. Goodman and saw the excellent reviews. I'm so glad I did because since then I finally feel I am on the path to feeling better and getting past the discomfort of my medical problems. I have a long road, but it wouldn't be headed in the right direction if it wasn't for his expertise. The reviews in this case absolutely speak for themselves. He is an excellent doctor. read more

In a recent application with a federal agency, I needed an FAA Class II medical exam. Dr. Goodman was immediately available to oblige. For a small fee I was able to get my exam the very next day. It was quick, professional, and I would recommend this office to absolutely anyone. Great place, and Dr. Goodman was very personable and friendly. read more

My parents live nearby at an assisted living facility, and I needed to have my mom checked for a lesion on her skin which seemed to be irritating her. I cannot tell you how relieved we were to leave Dr. Goodman's office and to know that everything would be okay. My mother said he reminds her of Marcus Welby, M.D. -- kind, compassionate and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Goodman and we have a follow-up appointment scheduled with him for next month. No more hospital waits and bureaucracy. read more

Great weekend urgent care option. Ability to make appointments online. I would definitely recommend Dr Goodman.

Dr. Goodman was perfect! I needed a Aviation medical so I could fly helicopters, he fit me into his busy schedule, once done he was able to print it out there and was all done within about 45mins or so, flying later that day!! I would recommend him to all my flying buddy's!! Thanks Dr! read more

Dr. David E. Goodman has taken over the care and supervision of Dr. Jeff Stevenson's workers' comp patients with intense devotion and eagerness .... a task that goes beyond a general medical practice. Dr. Goodman and his staff are diligent in their pursuit of palliative care for their patients. Dr. Goodman and his staff know how to deal with the workers' compensation insurance woes. I cannot say enough of how they go the extra mile to give and obtain care for their patients. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by Dr. Goodman. He took the time to really understand my health issues and take a holistic view. He is also very interesting, with a good sense of humor. I don't necessarily think that the best doctors always go to the best schools, but still, U-Penn and Harvard Med School is pretty impressive. Finding a doctor who will make an appointment on Sunday is even more impressive! read more

Dr. Goodman was very professional and took care of my and my wife's immigration medical exam very quickly. He talked us through the forms and gave us copies of what he sealed in the envelope. The fact that he could see us on a Sunday helped a lot. We drove 45 min to see him from our location but that was totally worth it. We had a really terrible experience with the first USCIS approved doctor about a year ago, so were really nervous before seeing him. The difference was like day and night. Highly recommend Dr. Goodman!!!!! read more

Dr Goodman is an awesome physician who is very personable and extremely knowledgable. He uses technology to support his practice and is very efficient. I feel very privileged to have found a true 'family doctor' that is responsive, professional and someone I am happy to trust with my family's health. read more

Super nice. I got a hold of him on the phone after hours when I called the number. He gave great advice and was upfront and honest.

Dr. Goodman is an anachronism in this day and age. I'm so glad I found him. He assists in every way possible and is actually available without a long wait. Besides being extremely professional, he's intelligent. Something rare in this day and age. There are so many doctors who are crushed under heavy loads or who are really not interested, but Dr. Goodman is not one of them. Highly recommended! read more
