This doctor was emerg dr when my grandmas bowels exploded. Tried to send her home as it was the long weekend. Luckily she went to red deer hospital where she was given proper care and surgery. Years later was referred to him for my own issues unbeknownst to me who exactly he was. Did not seem to care about my symptoms, didn’t want to run tests, when I did have a test I never heard back from him, impossible to reach, didn’t want to bother with the work load of helping me it seemed.

I had a c-section scheduled due to a fractured pelvis giving birth to my son, but went into early labor. My doctor wasnt answering his phone so the nurses called Dr.Goosen instead. He said that he was going to send me to Red deer because it was going to be to hard to find the staff at that time of night. When he called the Dr oncall in Red deer and told him my situation the Dr told him that it was impossible that I had fractured my pelvis and that he would make me deliver naturaly. Dr.Goosen then found the staff and did the sergury in Lacombe so I wouldnt have to go to Red deer. He was so amazing and friendly and he did a beautiful job stitching me up!! I am so happy with my experiance with him. I highly recomend him!!

He gave very poor explainations regarding diagnosis and told me to “Google-it” instead of explaining things to me. He diagnosis me without physical examination or tests and it turned out he gave the wrong diagnosis. On another occassion he gave me one diagnosis, i did my own research and proved that the diagnosis was wrong. Despite having my file in front of him he was unable to remember what he had diagnosed me for, what diagnosis’ were wrong and what drugs he had prescribed for me. He repeatedly told me a had a fibromyalga, which i don’t have, and coninually tried to prescribe me strong drugs that i didn’t need.

Unhelpful and dishonest. He says that he will do something and then did not do it. No concern for anything but his own schedule.

I have had this doctor in ER and have never been happy with him. His attitude is that he knows more what is best for me than my family doctor in regards to a chronic condition. He also refuses to follow my doctors recommendations for when I have to go to ER for this condition.
