!!! Beware and stay clear of this egotistical, rude, pompous, self-righteous women who calls herself a Doctor. I first saw her for help with a serious case of hives that I have been suffering with for the past 7 years. Dr Goodlearner discounted the severeness of my condition(Hives)and was extremely arrogant with her clipped tone and her dismissive attitude toward my condition. She attacked me with guilt for my condition and told me to "GO TAKE A YOGA CLASS, THAT THIS IS ALL MY OWN DOING"!! I was sleep deprived and had secondary infections on my arms from scratching and she decided to cut the meds that had been working somewhat (that other more respected Doctors had prescribed) and refused to treat me with the correct dose of medications because as she put it "IT WAS ALL PSYCHOSOMATIC, AND I NEEDED TO LEARN TO CHILL OUT". She didnt give me the correct meds because she also professed, "It might be bad for my long term health!". I stood in front of her crying and begging her for the medication (NOT PAIN PILLS BTW) to help me get some sleep and/or relief of this horrific rash.. I was thoroughly exhausted and at my wits end. But this lame Doctor threatened me with a 24 hour PSYCH HOLD. Really? REALLY?? I was seriously trying to get help for a rash that had completely monopolized my life. After this threat and her Yoga comment: I knew I had to suck it up, stop crying and pull myself together so I could walk out of this whacked Doctors office before she held me hostage. This women is the epitome of a "Quack Doctor". I never went back for fear of my freedom and obviously she had NO CLUE how to treat me. I have since found a fabulous Doctor that has taken my case seriously, has reassured me on numerous occasions that it is NOT ALL IN MY HEAD AND NO AMOUNT OF YOGA WOULD HELP THIS! I finally received a much needed diagnosis and the medication I needed to help me. Im still being treated for a severe case of "Idiopathic Urticaria". Yes, It has a name and its not in my head. This crappy doctor should be ashamed of herself and God help all her patients.. If someone by mistake refers you to her RUN...RUN Fast, Run Far..

Dr. Goodlerner has been my dermatologist for 10 years. Most of my free time is spent outdoors so I visit Dr.Goodlerner on an annual basis for a skin check. About 5 years ago Dr. Goodlerner noticed a suspicious mole that turned out to be an early stage squamous cell skin cancer. She treated it promptly,and provided suggestions on how to better protect my skin. Dr Goodlerner has also treated my Vitaligo as well. I trust her to look after my skin and feel fortunate to have found her years ago. I have used Dr.Goodlerner for cosmetic procedures as well. She is skilled at using the right filler, lasers and botox . Shes very gentle with the needle, knowledgeable and experienced.. Shes very honest and will not use more filler or Botox than is necessary. She knows exactly how to make you look rested and youthful without that comestic procedure look that can be very obvious to others. She provides very detailed after care advice..I have never experienced any bruising after any treatment modality..After Dr. Goodlerner has treated a friend or two will ask if I just came back from a vacation because I looked so well rested and relaxed. Her staff, Mindy, Merina, Jade, and Acacia are the best..Theyre extremely friendly and helpful... Always smiling and and making patients feel comfortable and right at home. They dont overbook, are very polite on the phone, and you dont spend a lot of time in the waiting room. Highly recommended if youre looking for a skilled Dermatologist with a knowledgeable and friendly staff.

I arrived at Dr. Goodlerners office by a friendly receptionist that looked you in the eye and smiled... she even asked how my day was. I was taken to my room after about a 20 minute wait (she is a busy physician!) Her tech took all the pertinent information and asked the appropriate questions. Dr. Goodlerner came in shortly after. She was attentive and friendly. She reviewed my concerns thoroughly and explained what was occurring and gave me follow up information to read as well. I felt her diagnosis was correct and she alleviated some worries! I have to return for a follow up appointment and will let you know how that works out. Prior to my arrival I completed the patient portal which was helpful upon arrival. I highly recommend Dr Goodlerner and her team!

I would like to say that I am completely satisfied with Dr. Goodlearner and her staff. I have had two minor surgeries and both have come out positive but for different reasons. The first was a couple years ago and I have no scar at all (cyst removal). The second was recently and I am so happy, not because I wont have a scar again but because in the middle of the surgery, I had a bit of a Panic Attack. Now Dr. was so calm and just quickly called some extra help, even though she was right in the middle of stitching me up! Her and the nurse calmly talked to me, got me an ice pack, etc. and we were off and running again. So Professional!

I was referred to Dr. Goodlerner by my primary care physician because I had a small skin cancer. Her "bedside manner" was TERRIBLE! I was scared and the injection of anesthesia HURT. Most doctors want to know if you are in pain; not Dr. Goodlerner! She chastised me fro moaning and crying. I had to go back because the original biopsy confirmed skin cancer. She treated me no better than the first time. Fortunatel, I was mentally prepared to try to deal with the pain but, again, she chastised me for shaking and tensing up! i would NEVER recommend her to anybody!

Ive been seeing Dr. Goodlerner for at least a decade. Care has always been excellent. Two years ago my forehead and the front area of my scalp above the hairline had numerous unsightly pre-cancerous areas. She was able to design a treatment program that has eliminated those areas completely, and after more than a year theyve not returned. She also diagnosed a small cancerous area on one ear which was removed by another specialist using Mohs procedure. All good: Kudos!

I have been seeing Dr Goodlerner for many years. She is extremely dedicated to her patients. During my skin care examinations, she takes the time to hear my concerns and is very helpful in giving me the latest medical information and recommendations. She has personally called me after a skin care procedure to check on my recovery. I would highly recommend Dr Goodlerner for your dermatological needs.

Dr. G is absolutely the BEST. When I reached my early thirties I was hit hard by Rosacea that came on quickly and severely. It was embarrassing and disconcerting , but Dr. G worked with me to combine treatments that ultimately sent my rosacea into remission. Now, years later I am still free from it and could not be more pleased with the results. Thank you!!

After visiting Dr. Goodlerner just one time she described a treatment that relieved the problem that had bothered me for quite sometime. I had been to other dermatologist a number of times without any success. I would definitely recommend Dr Goodlerner to anyone with a skin problem. Also the experience with the staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. .
