Dr Goucher spent a lot of time showing me my MRI scan and explaining what we were looking at. He even found a tare in a tendon that was not noted by the radiologist on the report.

His treatment did not work, not his fault though. He has treated me for years and is very attentive.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/4/2025
The issue that stands out is that he didn’t get upset when I didn’t choose surgery right away. In my experience that’s very rare for surgeons.
