Dr. Goodman was my physician, and although I can't say that I knew him on a personal level, his warm, kind demeanor permeated every interaction I had with him. He brought comfort to me in a very trying time in my life, and I will be forever grateful for that. You will be missed, rest in peace.

I just found out about Dr. Goodman´s passing and wanted to send my condolences. He was my physician from my teenage years through my 40s. He helped me through a very difficult pregnancy and for that I will be forever grateful. I pray the memories of him bring you comfort during your times of sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Goodman´s passing. I was an early patient of his, and because of his skill became the mother of beautiful twin daughters, now in their 30s. I am so blessed to have found him through Dr. Marlow. My condolences to his family. I will never forget him.

I am so sorry to hear about Michael´s passing. I met Michael when we were just kids in Miami. He lived in Northern Jersey and I in Southern Jersey. A long time ago. I remember his first car, I think it was a yellow GTO. I´m so glad he went on to be the doctor he always wanted to be, and created and found such a nice loving family.
