:-) Dr. Goolsby does beautiful work! My son-in-law had an abcess and it was extremely painful, Dr. Goolsby was able to take him in on an emergency basis and fixed him up right away!

I visited Dr. Goolsby due to an abscessed tooth on my right side and some pain and sensitivity on my lower left side. My procedure was the worse treatment I have received by any dentist in years. The Facts, I was told I would have to be numbed again with novocaine a second time due his first attempt being in the wrong location. I had to have a second x-ray due to the first x-ray not having any film loaded in the machine. Dr. Goolsby then filled the cavity as if the building was on fire, (a great discomfort to say the least) ... read more

I went in to have a crown put on. During the procedure the dentist I saw, not Dr. Goolsby, had issues with the tools he was working with (squirted me in the face twice with the water gun and did not apologize) and told me that my small mouth was making his job difficult. 24hrs after having the temporary crown put on it fell off, and has fallen off multiple times in 4days even with the temporary glue they told me to purchase over the counter in case that happened. This morning, Monday, the temporary tooth cracked in half. The... read more

Are you going to visit this provider again? Not if my life depended on it Was this dentist friendly? Not Really Does this provider give unbiased advice? Definitely not! It was obvious they just wanted to make money! Do this dentist have a good professional reputation among other dentists? Somewhat, but they aren't very respected Does this provider remember you and your circumstances at every appointment? Absolutely not! I constantly have to repeat and re-explain my situation!

Dr. Goolsby did not retire. He had other dentists working for him. The other dentists have seen been removed from the practice. Yes, the previous dentists would tell you that you needed work, not Dr. Goolsby. Based on client complaints and loss of business, Dr. Goolsby let the other dentists go. My family has been a patient of his for over 5 years. I have nothing but good things to say about the practice. They are very professional, always on time and make you feel comfortable. My husband and I were also told that we needed ... read more

Don't trust them. I went to Westside for about 5 years. When I first went there I hadn't been to the dentist in about 7 years, and I surprisingly only had 2 cavities. Dr. Goolsby was awesome and I went under a gum program to get my gums back up to par. After about 4 years, Dr. Goolsby retired, and they brought in new management and some new dentists and then all of a sudden they said I had all these problems and something like 5 cavities. And coincidentally they seemed to be continually bringing in new techno-toys and remode... read more

Did you feel safe in this provider's care? Mostly, I was still a little nervous Did this provider have an entertaining selection of waiting room magazines? Not at all! They were boring and outdated Did the staff make you feel uncomfortable when you called with questions or concerns? Absolutely! They made me feel like my questions and concerns were stupid Did this provider rush your appointment? Not too much, but somewhat Did they follow up with you after your appointment? No, but they said they were going to!
