Terrible bedside manner. Dismissed me, told me nothing was wrong with my back. He said he didn't see anything wrong with my images. I left in tears, my husband with me, just as stunned. I think he was looking at someone else's images instead of mine. I have SCOLIOSIS! ?????

Appointment never happened because they made the appointment in the Asheville office and did not tell me. The Asheville office is 82 miles away. I live in Highlands with is only 19 miles from Franklin. I sat in Franklin for an hour after the appointment waiting for someone show up. If they can't handle an appointment correctly I won't trust them to operate on my neck!!!

What a great guy, really took the time to explain everything to me in terms I could easily understand. Put my mind at rest about the necessity of the surgery my surgeon recommended.

I saw Dr. Gooch after being bounced around the practice. He seemed like a decent Doctor, and seemed to understand my problem. However after seeing him a few times, he told me that he would not do my surgery. He made an excuse that seemed like a lie. I would not recommend him or anyone at that office. The service is sub par, and his nurse that takes all his calls is hateful. My advice is to get your primary care provider to refer you to a practitioner in Charlotte or Winston Salem. Don't waste your time here.

Five minutes in and out. No discussion. Didn't bother to tell me what he saw or offer any compassion. Said, "You're fine, four to six weeks physical therapy." Didn't bother to discuss my pain or what I should do about work. Told me to just go back to work, without restrictions or anything. Tried to follow up and they refuse to see me again. So I guess I'm stuck in pain because there is "nothing he can do for me." A lack of insurance probably influenced his decision. Quite an awful person.

Initial consultation - spent about 2 minutes with me. Kind of sarcastic. Didn't even show me my MRI's. Just held up a plastic prop. Didn't discuss any of my personal problems such as what nerve was involved. Just told me he recommended an injection. Didn't tell me how that would be done or what to expect. When I go back for return visit, I will request a different doctor.

Worst Experience of My Life. I would rather Die than go through it Again. I woke up Screaming, felt like someone had taken a Blow Torch to my Back without Any Pain Medication. I screamed until they sedated me. If I had a gun, I would have stuck it in my Mouth. I would have done Anything to make it stop. I kept asking him what went wrong, and all he would do is shrug his Shoulders. I kept asking the Hospital what went Wrong and they would Direct me right back to him. I Suffered Greatly.

Dr. Gooch performed a spinal fusion on my mom's cervical disks, and he and his team were incredible! He has a great bedside manner, is knowledgeable, comforting, and most importantly, he was successful in handling such a risky surgery. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. G and the entire team at Mission.

Out for insurance company just like the rest of the doctors in the office ? I assume ? Get a second opinion , I did and he was wrong with his recommendations and evaluation. Doing much better today and really trust and like current doctor .
