Dr. Naomi Goodman did me right!
After injuring my shoulder years ago (and then recently re-exacerbating it) my doctor recommended that I see her and I'm so glad I did. From the initial assessment and onwards Naomi was such a great communicator (both interpersonally and in terms of breaking down medical lingo) and made sure I knew that the focus of my treatment with her was me, holistically speaking, and not just aimed at meeting some metic of pain tolerance or mobility. What this human-centered approach translated to with the care I received was that she really took the time to listen to me and how PT fit into my life. She walked me through setting goals for my treatment (and supported me along the way of reaching them) and because she really listens and took in what I said (talk about affirming care!) the plan we built was durable, realistic for me to follow through with, and as such actually worked--yay! In addition to her immense experience and expertise, Naomi's warmth, empathy, and care really shines through in a genuine way. The lengths she goes through to build a connection with you and her efforts and mindfulness to your comfort level re doctor-patient interactions, covid safety, privacy, and touch (this is PT after all) is unparalleled, and on my end was deeply appreciated! read more
