Dr. Goodman earned his medical degree from the University of Arizona College of Medicine. He completed an internal medicine internship at the University of Miami Jackson Memorial Hospital, a residency in neurology at the University of Colorado Health Science Center and a residency in neurological surgery at the University of Utah Medical Center. Dr. Goodman specializes in functional neurosurgery; meaning his area of focus is on both Deep Brain Stimulation and pain procedures. He is one of a handful of neurosurgeons across the country who have the unique skill set to specialize in both procedures."I try to do outreach clinics so patients don't have to travel so far to meet me, although they do have to travel for the surgery. Doing these combined procedures, I provide services that patients might otherwise have to travel several hundred miles for."
