“Dr. Goodwin is the most amazing reconstructive surgeon with a wonderful gentle bedside manner. Top notch results after a bi-lateral mastectomy. Breast cancer diagnosis is never easy but he and his staff helped me through and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the end result.”
“Dr. Goodwin did my lift for symmetry after lumpectomy BEFORE my radiation for best results and 18 months out, the results are fantastic. I consulted with 3 doctors and his approach was the most conservative as tissue does not heal the same after radiation. He restored my view of myself and was nothing but professional and very caring. Get several opinions and you will see what I mean.”
“Dr. Mathew Goodwin is the best plastic surgeon I have ever experienced. This was my 6th breast surgery from a double mastectomy and the last doctor seriously disfigured me. He was completely professional, personable & honest. He came through for me at age 68 and restored my faith in doctors.
The the down time was shorter than I expected and his staff is great can’t say enough good things about him except Thank you Sr. Goodwin ”
