Dr. Goodman knows just how to support and challenge me to make better nutritional choices and to be more active. I appreciate his perspective and knowledge about how to stay the course on a weight loss journey. He’s motivating and also quite funny, which I appreciate. I’ve lost close to 20lbs and know that he was a big part of helping me to achieve that.

Just met Dr Goodman. He was very pleasant and easy to work with. I am looking forward to seeing how we will work together to achieve my health goals. He was very knowledgeable about the issues surrounding my health concerns; high cholesterol, aging and healthy weight management.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Goodman. He is incredibly knowledgeable in holistic medicine and was able to address chronic fatigue symptoms I was experiencing for years. Definitely recommend!

Dr. Goodman is very knowledgeable and was able to help with some great advice on natural ways to raise my testosterone levels and improve my lipid panel. Dr.Goodman took the time to go through all of my lab work and give suggestions on how to improve each item. He also took a look at the supplements I am currently taking. I will be adjusting the dosages and adding in a few new supplements based on his recommendations. Very excited to work with him moving forward. Go see him you won’t regret it.

Elizabeth is a patient of Dr Goodman. I am seeing him because he is part of a elite group of doctors trained in the Dr Bredesen protocol for prevention of Alzheimer’s disease. He has helped me tremendously to navigate the overwhelming information in that protocol and has followed me through the bloodwork and supplements. I feel great and am very grateful.

My first. appointment with Dr Goodman was about a year ago. I was looking to find a way to improve my health in a holistic way. We discussed how changes in my diet, supplements, and exercise could lower my cholesterol and blood sugar. Now a year later everything is back to normal, lost 15 pounds, and have lots more energy.Also Dr Goodman is very easy to talk to and easy to contact.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I had been suffering with Lyme disease and wasnt getting better.I was desperate to get well. I heard from a friend who had a daughter that was in the same situation. After months of traditional treatment form her MD he took her to an ND and had great success. Thats when I contacted DR Goodman. Dr Goodman put me on a Lyme protocol and within two months I was feeling well.During the course of treatment Dr Goodman started me on a journey to wellness, recommending that I lose weight and prescribing some excellent supplements. Dr Goodman is very good at what he does. It is obvious that he lives the lifestyle that he recommends to his patients.Dr Goodman has great bedside manner and his approach and attitude towards a patient such as myself was kind and professional with a bit of humor and very relaxed. My overall experience with DR Goodman was great. I would recommend him for anyone who wants to really get well and start living a healthy life.

After having the scare of my life last fall and ending up at the ER, I decided that I could wait no longer to take my life and my longevity seriously. Dr Goodman was straight forward and has been a vital encouragement as I work to lower my blood pressure naturally and avoid having to go on medicine which will never help me address the root issues. A wealth of information and deep compassion for his patients, all wrapped up in a wonderful sense of humor.

Went to Dr. Goodman for my first physical before the end of 2018 and he ordered a full lab test, probably I hadnt had one that thorough in years; Dr Goodman explained in detail what everything in the results meant. My main goal for the visit was to get back in shape, as I had stopped exercising for a few months then, due to a surgery. Now, 5 months later, I have lost 20 pounds by natural means based on a keto-flex diet and healthy lifestyle he recommended, very happy :)

Ive had the privilege of working with Dr. Goodman for the past few months. In this time, Ive lost weight, gained energy and most importantly developed a cooperative, accountable, respectful relationship with Dr. Goodman to address my health issues. He is a caring, thorough professional. What had taken me years to see (health-wise) in my life is now manifesting and I couldnt feel more hopeful about my future. I highly recommend Dr. Goodman! Thank you for your dedication and commitment to excellence.

Going to ND Goodman has been a great plus. I have Lupus and life can be tough. I was very skeptical but acupuncture has helped me quite a bit. I look forward to continuing my experiences with Nd Goodman and having a better quality of life!

I have been working with Dr. Goodman for just over a month now, with amazing results. I have lost 21 pound and approximately 2% body fat and generally have much more energy. My blood pressure has dropped significantly as well. Dr. Goodman maintains consistent follow-up and specific, individualized guidance to his patients.

Stop thinking you can lose all the weight in one month You didnt gain it overnight. I know that eating a Big Mac and Filet o Fish with a large fry and a large vanilla shake for dinner on a regular basis shouldnt have been my meal of choice but I didnt realize how unhealthy I was until I couldnt walk up the stairs in my home without having to catch my breath. I heard an interview with Dr. Goodman and I just had to make an appointment.Make a lifestyle change with Dr. Goodman guiding you on a path to a healthier better you. Ive been seeing him for 8 weeks and Ive lost 23 pounds. Im not starving and Im happy while doing it. Ive been on every diet you can think of and I was never happy....until NOW.Dr. Goodman listens to you, he cares. I dont think Ive ever had a Dr. that really took time to listen to my concerns.I travel 45 minutes to see him and it is well worth it. Ive got a long road ahead of me but this time Im going to reach my goal. Dr. Goodman will be there every step of the way cheering me on.Call him, email him, its the first and last step youll have to make alone.So thankful to be in his care.Elizabeth

Ive been seeing Dr Goodman for almost a year now and am feeling so so much better! I came to him with diverticulosis and many digestive issues. He did a thorough testing of what Im sensitive to, among other great counseling. Have to say I came to him a mess, and now feel like a million bucks! Very impressed with all his knowledge and he has a great personality as well. Highly recommend him to anyone who wants to be proactive about their health. You wont regret it!

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in February. My PCP and Endocrinologist told me I had a chronic progressive disease, my only option was to go on drugs for the rest of my life. Around that same time my wife started going to Dr. Goodman. She told me, Dr. Goodman says you can reverse a lot of your diabetes with diet. I had begun my own research and was coming to the same conclusion. So I dropped my doctors and started seeing Dr. Goodman. I am no longer on any medicine and control my blood sugar with diet. Dr. Goodman has been a great support and a total partner in my journey to health. He is a straight shooter and will give you the scoop without fear or trepidation. I recommend him to anyone who will listen.

Ive seen Dr. Goodman more than a handful of times over the past two years, focusing mainly on acupuncture therapy for various issues in my back and neck. Each time I leave his office, I leave with less pain, I feel very relaxed, and confident that with each treatment I am closer to being completely pain-free.I would give Dr. Goodman a rating of 5-stars based solely on his expertise and the success Ive experienced seeing him for acupuncture therapy, however, my positive experience has not been limited to just acupuncture. Although the primary focus for each visit has been my back, Dr. Goodman has always been helpful with other aspects of my overall health and I am completely confident that he genuinely cares about my well-being. He’s very easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and eager to provide care for whatever ailment I may be experiencing.I am extremely happy that I started seeing Dr. Goodman for treatment and highly recommend him.

Review №19

I felt very comfortable and at ease with Dr. Goodman…it was refreshing to actually interact with him (he has an awesome sense of humor) …I was accustomed to being treated in an environment which always felt somewhat robotic in nature as well as impersonal…I felt that the entire “mood” of his office set the stage to bring me into total relaxation. I actually felt that I was allowed to participate in my own treatment…which in turn allowed me to relax and focus on my health instead of counting the moments till I could run out the door. Dr. Goodman not only preserved my health…but created such a trust level with me that I was able to confide in him about areas of my life that were producing the stress that was sending my blood pressure into dangerous numbers. Dr. Goodman went to bat for me and turned a situation around for me that resulted in saving my sanity as well as ultimately my life…and I am FOREVER grateful to him! I feel confident about my Doctor now as well as my health.

I have been seeing Dr. Goodman since September of 2017. I follow his weight loss program and have had great success in the past 5 months. I lost weight, many inches, my skin looks better, and I have increased energy. My BMI decreased, and my blood lab results showed impressive improvements in comparison to the results in September of 2017!! Dr. Goodmans program is easy to follow - no gimmicks, shakes, starvation, drugs, etc.. You eat REAL healthy foods that you get at any grocery store. He is there to support you at every step. I am so happy to have found him!!

I originally came in to see Dr. Goodman for anxiety and GERD. Because of his dedication to making the whole body feel at its best, he was able to find a major issue that was not detected earlier. Im am very thankful for the reviews and testimonies that led me to this doctor. I will be forever grateful for the care I have received. I feel wonderful and hopefully I will feel even better as we address the underlying issues that brought me there in the first place. Thank you!

If there was a practitioner that would only medicate a condition...And there was a practitioner that would be able to remove the condition without the addition of drugs that cause side affects. I choose remove the condition.Dr. Goodman did just that. With his close attention to food intake and light activity he was successful in dropping my high blood pressure in 3 weeks. I will continue to see him.

Dr Johnathan is the funniest comedian. However, he is also very caring and understanding of everyday issues. At first I didnt know what to expect but Dr Goodman made me feel comfortable and at ease. Weight has always been a problem for me but Dr Goodman reassured me that if I stuck to his plan that I would lose. He is right not only have I lost weight I have also gained more confidence in my self and in my life! Give Dr Goodman a try. What have you got to lose? A lot of weight and all the baggage that keeps you fat. Also Dr Goodman goes over all and every test he orders for your own medical problem.Diane V

I started seeing Dr. Goodman in October 2017 to seek ideas with weight loss in order to look better but more importantly feel better and get healthier. Heart disease runs in my family and Im now over 40 years old and my cholesterol was very high. Its been 4 months and I have lost 25 lbs and feel better every day. My bloodwork has dramatically improved over this time. My cholesterol is now normal, as well as many other crucial elements to ensure optimal health.This is not like seeking a fad diet online that is one size fits all. Dr. Goodman tests your individual metabolism and sincerely listens to you in order to tailor a process that works specifically for you. You will learn what your safe/ideal caloric intake per day should be. More importantly you will understand your macros(protein, fat, and carbs) and what their ideal percentages should be to ensure weight loss. However, its not just about losing weight, its about feeding your body as it should be so you feel better than you ever have.Dr. Goodman is not like seeing a traditional PCP. His office is warm and inviting. His demeanor is more down to earth than any health care professional you have likely ever been to. Its evident after meeting him once that he truly cares about helping you to achieve the best health you possibly can. His kindness and sense of humor puts even the most hesitant newcomer at ease.In summary. Dont wait. Contact Dr. Goodman and I promise you will start on the path to losing weight, feeling awesome, and finding more peace within yourself.

Review №28

I had a very unpleasant phone conversation when trying to schedule an appointment as a new patient. He spoke to me in a very skeptical and condescending tone when I tried to explain an issue I had with another Naturopathic office taking my insurance (due to an office policy Ive never heard of in my entire life) even though i knew it would be covered. They were the only office Ive ever had an issue with. I just wanted to make sure I wouldnt come across the same issue with him. He didnt want to listen to me. He just kept cutting me off, and acting skeptical towards me and talking down to me. Im a working college student, on good health insurance with my parents, with serious health issues searching for help. I dont deserve to be spoken to this way. It scared me to think that each visit would continue to be this way after the first encounter, despite some of the other good reviews online. I wont be making an appointment here.

Dr. Goodman saved my life! He knows how to treat the patient, truly cares about you and actually listens to what you have to say. Not like all the other GPs that get caught up in the prescription hype. Since I have met Goodman, I have lost 63 pounds for an overall loss of 84 pounds. I have also gained so much knowledge about food allergies and how they affect me. I no longer need many medications, no more CPAP and no more pain. Asthma and headaches are better, so is skin. My cholesterol went from 170s to 126. Blood pressure is better. Overall health so much better! I owe you my life Dr. Goodman! Love you like family...

I do not know were to begin with this doctor. It’s so hard to find a really good doctor in Connecticut . This was a very expensive visit, as well as a travel to get to from where I live. If you are traveling far you are better off finding another closer doctor. I don’t think he deserves a one star. These reviews were the only reason I went originally to him. I went to my first visit and I felt like I was better off finding me a family doctor because this visit cost over $500.00 and that’s with insurance. This doctor does not claim lab testing I know for a fact with your insurance company. If you are having issues with your statement or have questions about anything on your insurance, he does not have the time to speak to your insurance company or sometimes you (which was explain to me by my insurance that he was also very blunt and rude to them when they called to find out about billing issues as he was in their network. He will tell you he didn’t claim things on your insurance due to him just knowing that your insurance doesn’t cover it! Who does that.. from my experience all services are filed with insurance and they decide what is paid or not! I was then forced to have to come in for a 2nd appointment just to discuss my lab results. Basically so I could fork over another $100 bucks for a less than 30 min visit. If you didn’t come he will charge a fee for cancellation, which is a total rip off. The equipment and office setting is very old. The equipment used seemed to be dated and some not working properly such as the weight scale. The bed that is used it felt like I was sinking down in a hole. For the amount I had to pay, and drive for, I was expecting way more! They say you pay for what you get but I feel I was definitely cheated in this case. I would strongly encourage you to do your research, keep your insurance invoices, and lastly speak with your insurance provider to do a self claim for services that are not claimed on your insurances for visits.

Hurrah! Today is the day I met my initial weight loss goal! I began working with Dr. Goodman in June 2017. I had been unsuccessful in my attempts to lose weight despite going to other physicians for help. Dr. Goodman has taught me so much about my specific health and nutrition needs. His weight loss program is the first one in all my life of dieting and trying to manage my weight that makes sense for my individual needs. I cant tell you what it feels like to get on a scale and see the numbers going down on a consistent basis because that had never happened for me before I met Dr. Goodman. Dr. Goodman does not have a cookie cutter program. He looks at my needs and we work as a team to individualize a plan to work for me. He supports me all the way. I have 50 more pounds I would like to lose and I know with Dr. Goodmans help that I can and will accomplish my goal. Losing weight, getting off meds and feeling great can happen with Dr. Goodman. I am a believer now. It is work and it takes a commitment but when I see my goals actually being met, its priceless. If you have unresolved health concerns then run not walk to Dr. Goodman for help. You wont be sorry.

Dr. Goodman helped me overcome several health issues that I have been dealing with for many years. In just two visits, Dr. Goodman helped me identify food allergies that were triggers for eczema, IBS, and other conditions. With his help and guidance, I am now symptom free and feeling great. If you are having difficulty finding answers to your health problems, go see Dr. Goodman!

Dr. Goodman treats his patients as true partners in their care and genuinely listens to a patients concerns. He takes a detailed medical history so that he has a full understanding of his patients issues and needs. His solutions address the root cause of illness and are not temporary fixes. He is up to date on the most current medical science while still having a natural and preventative perspective. His warmth and humor immediately put you at ease. I highly recommend Dr. Goodman for anyone who wants a holistic physician who will take your concerns seriously and help guide you towards optimal health.

Review №39

My experience was a pleasant one. Over the last year I have been listening and reading a lot about Functional Medicine and root causes to illness as well as introducing supplements into my diet. After my annual physical with my Primary Care and the limited bloodwork that they request, I was told I had low thyroid numbers. The remedy was call in a prescription. I decided I did not want to go that route and searched out Dr. Goodman, one because he is a ND and two because he specializes in the Bredesen protocol which has to do with Alzheimers which I have become particularly interested in. The visit was completely new, he explained all the bloodwork I had done, listened to my concerns, and reviewed all the supplements I was taking. He in turn sent me for additional bloodwork and I had a follow up visit with him to explain those. I found out about some genetics that were interesting that I would never have discovered through the traditional method. He took his time, answered all my questions/emails. It has been a very good experience. I am taking a thyroid supplement and folate supplement based on the results of the genetic testing. I feel better and I am much more informed than before my visit.

Dr. Goodman found out that I am allergic to certain foods and since I stopped them in my diet aches and pains have gone away. He is very easy to talk to and never rushes you. He has done acupunture on my knee and it takes the pain away. I only have good things to say about Dr. Goodman!

Finally, a doctor that listens and gets to the root of issues instead of just writing RXs! I am an overall healthy person who came to Dr Goodman with two issues, a badly strained back and weight gain from menopause that wasnt helping my back problem. I had seen multiple Drs for my back who all wanted to write me an RX for opioids, but I wanted to get to the root cause, the weight gain. I had been following primary care doctors advice on low fat diet and regular exercise and not seeing results. Within first month of working with Dr Goodman, I had lost almost 10 lbs and had a plan that was working great for me. I am now down 20 lbs and going strong, feeling great, and starting to look like my pre-menopausal self again. Dr G handles the insurance claims, and the co-pay is very reasonable for the time and attention given. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Jonathan Goodman provides exceptional naturopathic medicine. I chose to see Dr. Goodman several years ago when faced with a debilitating illness. I had run the through seeing a series of traditional practitioners (i.e. Rheumatologists, Neurologists) when I decided to see Dr. Goodman. Dr. Goodman listened to my concerns and ran tests that were simple yet comprehensive; he determined that I suffered from a common but overlooked condition. Over the last several years, by taking a simple supplement that my body was lacking I feel better than I have for years!!

Review №47

Dr. Goodman has made a tremendous positive impact on my life in a short period of time. First of all he talks to you and not down to you. He takes time with you to explain everything, allows you to ask questions, and then actually answers your questions. His methods work. Prior to seeing him, I would wake up achy every day and it would take me about 10 - 15mins to get moving without the aches. Now, I do not wake up achy. My energy levels remain constant all day, without all the ebbs and flows I used to experience before. He is straight forward and to the point about what needs to be done, and for me, that is exactly what I need. I have lost 4 pounds in 2-weeks, right on track! He doesnt give you a diet or menu to follow. Rather, he puts tools in your hands with guidelines and all you have to do is follow the guidelines. I am not hungry at all during the day. Our goal, and I say our, as I feel he is just as committed to my wellbeing as I am, which is very refreshing from previous healthcare professionals, is to get me off of my Rxs. I am quite confident we will attain this goal. I highly recommend Dr. Goodman to anyone interested in taking control of their own health in a proactive rather than reactive medication way.

Review №48

Dr. Goodman was referred to me 5 years ago. I had been seeing a gastroenterologist for severe constant stomach issues that I,had always had. They put me through many tests, including checking for celiac disease. Everything came back negative and they had me continue going back to them many times, only to get no answers.When I went to Dr. Goodman, he tested me and found that I had a gluten intolerance. He had me change my eating habits and my stomach feels 100% better. When I explained it to my gastroenterologist, she laughed at me and said she never heard of that and didnt know what I was talking about. Needless to say, I stopped seeing her and continue to go to Dr. Goodman.Dr. Goodman has done other testing on me and found other food allergies that I am slightly allergic to. When I reduce or eliminate those foods my stomach issues completely disappear. He has also gotten me off the acid reflux medicine, which can cause B12 deficiency.Now Dr. Goodman and I are working on weight reduction through a healthy low carb diet to help bring my diabetes down.Wow! Dr. Goodman has made my life much more tolerable! Thank you Dr. Goodman!I continue to recommend him to others and I know he has helped resolved their issues.
