Dr. Goddard has been my doctor for several years. I highly recommend him and his talented team to anyone looking for great care and a great experience.

Dr Goddard isn’t in my insurances network and I still go to him. Saying a lot. I was so nervous to go at first I almost wanted to cancel but he was so nice and funny and made this process no big deal. I highly recommend.

Okay first of all, best doctor ever. Like most women, I have that pretty passionate hatred of the obgyn. But once I got pregnant, it was time to realize those visits were unavoidable and suck it up. I changed obgyns during the middle of my pregnancy from an office I thought was tolerable in San Jose, to Dr. Goddard when my husband and I moved to Grass Valley. I was skeptical about having a male obgyn at first, but after my first appointment I realized how awesome Dr. Goddard and his whole practice is. Hannah, the front desk receptionist is super sweet and friendly while you wait. His assistant is also super friendly and makes great conversation while taking your vitals while you wait for Goddard himself. Then, the show starts. Goddard is hilarious! I found myself and my husband laughing our asses off before our appointment was even half over. It wasnt uncomfortable at all. On a more serious note, he always was really patient with my questions as a first time mom and never rushed us. My previous OB had made me worried that my daughter measured a bit small, but Goddard reassured us she was fine and low and behold she is! He even assured us that he would be there for my delivery no matter what! And when my water broke on a Sunday morning, he showed up(wearing an adidas t shirt and cargo shorts) lol. Well anyways, great, funny, educated doctor! Really happy with my experience.

He’s an OB/GYN. If you are going for the OB part, you are already, in most cases happy because you are having a child. Me? I went for the GYN part. The part women hate. The part I’ve put off for… about 14 years. Yes, that long. That is how horrible these visits generally are. However!!! Dr. Goddard? And his assistant? They are fabulous and wonderful! Completely friendly. Dr. Goddard is funny and very personable. He and his staff treated me very kindly and friendly. I generally don’t review doctors, but he was so wonderful, and his staff so wonderful, I want to tell the world. And, well, Unilocal will work as part of the world for now :) Seriously. I agree with the others. Best doctor ever. My only complaint? He probably doesn’t(I didn’t ask, but I’m pretty sure I am correct on this one) do general medicine. But that isn’t a bad thing for him, it just tells how good he is that I wish he could be my main doctor for everything. Oh, and the pap smear? Seriously, totally pain free. Totally. And how often do you laugh at a Gyno’s office? I did this visit :)

Wow. I had never had a pleasant OBGYN visit before Dr. Goddard, so I was extra pleased with him and his office staff. Visit #1 I had an annual, and for the first time ever had an enjoyable experience! She warmed the speculum before using and made an effort to help me be calm and at ease. The medical assistant was well informed and spent time talking to me about birth control options. I like how they are not over-zealous on hormonal forms of birth control, although they do offer those as well. Visit #2 ParaGard IUD insertion. I was a little scared of the pain of insertion and possible side effects when I went in, but Dr. Goddard was friendly and funny and eased my mind of any worry. The procedure was fast, simple, and relatively painless. They used a topical anesthetic before beginning the procedure. After reading several online reviews, I thought the pain would be much worse. However, I’ve had monthly cramps far worse than the insertion process. I am so happy with the experience and the results. Even though I live in Auburn it is well worth the commute up to Dr. Goddard in Grass Valley!
