Dr. Gould is my 7th gyn doctor I've had (because of frequent relocations), and she is by far the best I've encountered. She is very thoughtful and insightful and made my visit very comfortable. The receptionists were very efficient and courteous as well.

I was referred to Dr. Gould and I'm thankful to have her be part of my care team. She is engaging and kind. She discussed everything in a clear and understandable way that truly helped me understand the why behind everything. I was thankful she also talked through scenarios too. Her drawings were also helpful. It felt like she anticipated questions I might have before I even needed to ask them. I could sense the passion and curiosity she has for her work.

Dr. Gould has a great bedside manner! From the moment my husband and I met with her I felt confident in her and knew she was the surgeon I wanted to do my not-so-common surgery. I appreciated how she explained the surgery and how it typically would go and l then explains how it would go for me. We may run into some insurance issues, but Dr. Gould was very assuring that if she cannot do the surgery she already had another female doctor in mind that she could refer me too that may take my insurance.

Dr Gould is a superb surgeon. My surgery was completed and I feel confident in the outcome. The billing and reception staff are very kind and courteous. I had a major upsetting experience with this office where I was told that the procedure would cost around $800 but minutes before the procedure was told it would cost $4500and was required to sign a document that I would pay that amount. That was a horrible experience and I feel an error that should never happen.

I went in for a fairly urgent procedure. The staff was amazing with working with my insurance to quickly get it authorized the medical assistant Maria was absolutely excellent ! she kept me well informed through the entire process from scheduling to medications and even the authorization of the procedure. In the procedure Dr. Gould was extremely pleasant and calming and made me feel very much at ease . Her bedside manner is phenomenal as well as her skills , I was out of my procedure fairly quickly with minimal pain . I'm so greatful for this team working so quickly and so thorough !

Dr. Gould met my question/concerns with urgency and fit me into her very full schedule. Once examined, she acted quickly to have the next steps taken at Good Samaritan Medical Center. She explains all possibilities including treatments for each as well as their outcomes. I have great confidence in her knowledge, advice and treatment plan. She answered all my questions while soothing all my anxieties at the same time. I'm so glad that she is on my care team.

one of the front desk receptionist completely needs a change in attitude and customer service. When I made the appointment in person she was very dissmissive, didn't want to make me an appointment, and made it seem a hassle because of my insurance. Gave her the benefit of the doubt, but when I came to my actual appointment, she was the same way to another customer.

Everything was fine and I love the doctor, however, I felt an underlying vibe of being rushed. Also, when my blood pressure was taken I couldn't pull up my sleeve for the assistant to take my blood pressure accurately and instead of requesting that I remove my top she just took it over the sleeve which REALLY caused an inaccurate and highly elevated reading. When I left the office and read the synopsis of my visit I saw how HIGH the reading was and I thought that it was odd that the doctor didn't catch that. Again, the reading was skewed because it wasn't taken accurately however, in my mind, being cavalier about a blood pressure reading is dangerous.

Dr. Gould is the best GYN that I have ever seen. She had a wealth of information that was pertinent to my concerns and my condition (endometriosis). She was by far the most well versed and experienced with my condition of all of the doctors that I have seen. She also has an outstanding bedside manner. I feel that I am in good hands now that I am under her care.

Dr Gould performed my recent hysterectomy with endometriosis excision. She and her entire team did an amazing job! I've had absolutely no post-surgery complications, very little pain or discomfort, and no fear. Every step of the way (including yesterday's follow-up visit), Dr Gould and the Legacy staff have been knowlegeable, respectful, patient, kind, and authentic. If it weren't for the fact that I live 3 hours away, I'd be seeing Dr Gould and other Legacy Good Samaritan physicians for all of my needs.

As a new participant in Medicare Advantages Blue Cross, I have experienced some difficulties getting schedulers and receptionists to schedule me for preventative annual exams, which are COVERED BY MY PLAN. I have been told by some medical office staff (within my coverage network) that, as a Medicare patient, routine physicals are not covered. When I try to explain that while that may be true for traditional Medicare plans, I have coverage through Blue Cross Medicare Advantage which does cover the preventative care I was trying to schedule, I have still encountered great reluctance to schedule my appointments. Unfortunately, I encountered this resistance when making my annual pelvic exam appointment with Dr. Gould's office. By being assertive, I was able to get the appointment I asked for, saying I would pay out of pocket for what my insurance refused to cover. When I mentioned this experience to Dr. Gould, she was very supportive of me and told me if it happened again I was to contact her personally. In the meantime, she and I together planned my future preventative appointments to align with what my Medicare Advantage Plan would cover. She was so knowledgeable and reassuring. She also answered all my questions, acknowledged the difficult health issues I had experienced in the year since I had seen her, and made sure that we were both on the "same page" as to my current physical health and future care. I am so relieved to have Dr. Gould as my OB-GYN. She was so very kind and understanding and on top of anything we discussed. I feel that I am in very good hands. Being new to Medicare and having to replace a PCP because my former PCP left the practice has been a rather stressful experience for me the past few months.....the coverage has been excellent; scheduling with medical staff (some from Legacy Medical Group offices) has been the stressful part. When I left Dr. Gould's office, I felt so much better about everything and that I was finally understood and cared for. This appointment concluded all my routine annual exams, and I drove away feeling greatly relieved and reassured.

Dr. Gould is absolutely wonderful. Professional yet warm, smart, insightful, caring, thorough, kind, efficient, and she takes the time needed to listen, explain, offer guidance, give suggestions, and answer questions. She also responds very quickly to messages online. She is probably my favorite doctor of all time.

Dr Gould was wonderful with my teenager daughter. I was impressed with how she spoke directly with her as the patient and included me, the parent in the conversation when appropriate. She was very knowledgeable and shared information in an age appropriate manner, and discussed the pros and cons of each method of birth control. She took the time to get to know us, review her health history and prior lab work, and ordered appropriate tests to examine her anemia and health care concerns. I work in health care and I am so impressed with her bedside approach and truly appreciate the care she provided, it was a wonderful, positive first experience for my teenager daughter with a gynecologist and I'm hopeful it will lead to a positive, healthy attitude for her future health care decisions. Thanks Dr Gould, I was so impressed with the care she received.

My visit with Dr. Gould and her nurse was fantastic. I felt valued, heard, and cared for and received more helpful information that I could have asked for. The only slightly frustrating part about my experience with the office was the scheduling of my appointment. There was confusion with what was needed from my insurance in order to schedule an appt so it took 1.5 months to get in after my initial call. However, most of the individuals who helped my via phone to make it through the confusion and scheduling were very helpful. Dr. Gould is not only the best gynecologist I have seen, but one of the best practitioners in general that I have seen. I am very grateful to have been able to get an appt with Legacy Medical Group, and more specifically with her!

I drove 3 hours to see this provider, and it was absolutely worth it. I wish I lived close enough to have Dr. Gould as my OBGYN - The entire experience so far has been better than 90% of my interactions with medical care teams over the past decade.

great visit with my doctor. my only call out is that the reception area was dirty/dusty and cluttered with random sloppy hand written notes of inspiration and taped up magazine clippings all over the walls. Made me nervous as it was my first time as a patient that the exam room would be as dirty as the front desk. As a first impression of the front desk it wasn't great. The clerks were very nice but less clutter and some daily cleaning/dusting would be nice for the patients that visit that office.
