Suggestions & Reviews for Annekathryn GOODMAN MD
Sherri E (Patient) 11-04-2016
I had been referred to Dr. 'A.K.' Goodman as soon as my internist @ the MGH had detected my Stage 1 Ovarian Cancer & was told by him that if his wife was the patient, he would also be referring her to the same dr.! ~ That spoke for itself, as my internist is a highly-respected internal medicine dr. @ the MGH--who annually updates the textbooks he had originally written for the Harvard students (since the MGH is a 'teaching hosp.'! ~ As soon as my hubby, sister & I met w/ Dr. Goodman, I felt entirely comfortable w/ having her for my Oncology Surgeon for a hysterectomy to take place just ten days subsequent to our introduction. She totally explained the whole procedure & even drew a diagram for me to visually make me feel very comfortable with the entire 'ordeal'! I knew right then & there that I was in the best hands possible for what needed to be done to removed my ovarian tumor--[the size of a baseball]! ~ However, once I had the surgery, I had gotten such bad complications, & unfortunately Dr. Goodman was on a pro bono assignment to a Third-World Country in Europe during my 'recovery period' [if you will, however, I had been hospitalized for 3 wks. because of complications that had unfortunately arose--[e.g., 'tiny multiple P.E.'s in both my lungs'; surgical pancreatitis; aspirating myself; and an adverse effect to the painkillers given, etc.)! ~ However, her team who took over had given me the best possible care--under the circumstances--& were wonderful! ~ Once I had awoken in the 'Recovery Rm,' I had been told that Dr. Goodman had also done an appendectomy on me & removed two of my lymph nodes as well! ~ That's how thorough a surgeon she is! ~ She did what she had to do to get the job done right, & inasmuch as she had told me that I would require chemo after my surgery, when I went to my post-op appt.,, she told me I was all set! ~ It was then that she had made a friend for life! ~.I am forever grateful that Dr. Goodman was my gynecological oncologist who performed my surgery, as she had done such a great job! ~ My scar healed so well, as you could tell she was very seasoned at this! ~ BTW, ('A.K.' had initially told me--during our introduction--that she performs an average of over 1,000+ surgeries of this type annually, so that had also made me feel that I had been referred the perfect surgeon for my gyno/oncologic surgery! She/I trade holiday cards (w/ our dogs' pix on 'em) annually! ~ She is the first dr. who had ever sent me a holiday card back--once she had received mine! ~ 'A.K.' is truly an extremely compassionate, sensitive, gentle, kind & competent dr. w/ an unbelievable bedside manner! ` .

I was recently diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Dr Goodman was very caring and answered all my questions. I went to her for a second opinion and I'm so glad I did. I was highly recommend her to anyone facing gynecologic cancer.

In Feb. 2007, I was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer. It had spread to other areas in my abdomen and colon. The chemo and radiation didn't due much to reduce the tumors, so a full hysterectomy and ileostomy (colostomy) were necessary. I think the fact that I am writing this 4 years later with no recurrence "knock on wood"! is a true testament to the skill of this fine surgeon, not to mention how much I enjoy seeing her on my check ups, which are now 6 months apart! Her staff and the entire Mass. General Organization are top notch and very caring. I hope you never need this treatment, but if you do, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Goodman.

This past year, 2010, I was referred to Dr. Goodman by my local gynecologist. Dr. Goodman advised me about all the options about a hysterectomy operation. This was my first operation and I had many questions. She took extra time to explain everything to me. In March I had the operation, everything went well. But a few weeks later there were unexpected complications, I was admitted back in Mass General Hospital. My body had an unusual reaction to the operation. Dr.Goodman became my medical detective and stayed with me every step of the way until I was back on my feet. I know I had excellent care with Dr. Goodman and at Mass General Hospital. She is a very caring doctor and is devoted to her patients.

Doctor Goodman was my surgeon on 2 occasions - both to due with ovarian cysts caused by severe endometriosis. The second surgery required a complete hysterectomy. She was caring, easy to talk to and I beleive I had the best care. Luckily it was not cancerous....however I felt if it had been - she was the specialists of specialists and I would be in the best care possible!!!
