Practice Philosophy

Practice Philosophy

Dr. Goodman firmly believes that the teeth Mother Nature gives us are the best. He believes in maintaining the natural teeth for as long as possible (hopefully a lifetime), and if treatment is required, being as conservative as the situation will allow.

Dr. Goodman's practice philosophy is simple...treat people with respect and honesty, and do quality work. He believes it is his responsibility to let patients know any problems they may have, and then give them the options to treat each particular problem. This includes fairly presenting all of the advantages and disadvantages of each choice. Giving the cost in time, money and tooth structure of each option, as well as all the benefits and risks of a given procedure. All this needs to be supplied so that the patient may make the best informed decision on treatment for them.

We also respect people's valuable time, never double-book patients, seeing only one patient at a time. For this reason, barring an emergency, we almost always run on time. This is how we prefer to be treated, and so it is how we treat others...rather simple, but unfortunately found all too rarely in our society.
