Karl Goodman, MD — Local services in New York

Dr. Goodman has been my PCP for over 20 years. He's thorough, an excellent diagnostician, & deeply caring & considerate of his patients. His explanations & instructions are very detailed & clear. A few years ago, at a physical exam I'd told him I'd been fatigued - I believed it was because I needed more exercise. The next morning, after blood test results came in, he called & told me to go to an ER immediately & have them repeat the test to make sure an extremely low blood oxygen reading hadn't been due to a lab error. He'd considered an alternative cause in order to avoid alarming me unnecessarily. They ended up admitting me for a week (during the height of Covid when hospitals were already overburdened!), because it was potentially life threatening, & treated the condition effectively.

Dr Goodman diagnosed me almost 6 years ago . I had severe aortic stenosis which meant I needed a cardiologist. I then had to have open heart surgery. I chose a surgeon that was not Dr Goodmans first choice.Goodman then did a routine physical. ,which included a bone density test which showed osteoporosis, He neglected to include this in my report. I only found this out within the last few months. I have been suffering with sternal pain. I healed from the heart surgery but have had chronic sternal pain for years.. I believe had the surgeon known I had the bone issue they would have protected this area. Dr..Goodman never believed I had pain. Eventually I left Dr.Goodman..I can't speak to him now since he moved his practice to Mt Sinai but if I could I would ask..How the hell can you justify leaving this info out of my medical records? Your patients coudnt locate you when you left private practice.WOW! BTW..1 STAR FOR FINDING THE PROBLEM..but Dr Goodman left Vital info out of my report..causing me years of avoidable $ spent, anxiety...

I’ve been seeing Dr. Karl Goodman for almost 9 years now. Dr. call Goodman is a good doctor. Since he’s moved from 86 Street to Central Park West location the attention and experience in the office is clearly different. Nobody returns a phone call and nobody picks up the phone unless it’s his service. The man with the green eyes behind his is incompetent and A manipulator. He single handed is bringing this doctors practice to its demise. it is very sad that after almost a decade of seeing Dr. Karl Goodman I will no longer be...
