How likely are you to recommend Dr. Gould?
I last saw Dr. Should in 2010 for abdominal surgery. Because I have MRSA, he was especially watchful over my post-surgical recovery. He always took time to explain my progress & answer questions. When I was finally sent to learn how to perform my own wound care, he continued to see me to insure I continued to do well. He didn't release me from his care until the wound had completely healed. He's very caring & has a great "bedside" manner!!!
