Dr. Michael Goodwin encourages patients to take preventive steps to help maintain their health. “I emphasize the importance of wellness and prevention of chronic disease through healthy eating, regular exercise, healthy relationships and positive thinking,” he says.
He believes his most important role as a physician is to be an active, effective and compassionate listener. “I develop a relationship with each patient to individualize the care experience as much as possible,” Dr. Goodwin says. “I find when I close my mouth and open my ears, it is easier to determine the most effective way to communicate with a patient."
Dr. Goodwin earned his medical degree from Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. He completed his family medicine residency at Providence Milwaukie Hospital in Portland.
A native Oregonian, Dr. Goodwin enjoys singing, playing the acoustic guitar, hiking, reading, and spending time with his wife and two sons.

Dr. Goodwin is an active listener, who clearly works in concert with his patients to provide the best possible health care that he can; tailored specifically to their needs. Not only do I find him to be a very knowledgeable and competent doctor, he is a very nice person as well.

I arrived for my 7:15am appointment between 7:05-7:10am. There was only one receptionist checking in patients, and I was still waiting to check in until almost 7:20am. This office might need more receptionists available to deal with the number of early morning appointments...at least on the day I was there.Providence Patient
Excellent Service!!!!Providence Patient
This was my first visit to Dr. Goodwin and I thought it was very good.Providence Patient
appointment was on time and quickProvidence Patient
I haven't had any bad experiences so far.Providence Patient
This visit was my yearly wellness exam. What was missing were suggestions about lifestyle and how it affects my general health. My previous Providence GP discussed these types of issues with me -- rather than just offering a pill to lower blood pressure or cholesterol. For example, my previous GP had a picture of the correct dinner plate proportions between meat, starch and veggies.Providence Patient
Great ProviderProvidence Patient
I was extremely uncomfortable with the front desk gal. She sounded like she was 10 years old. This made me uncomfortable simply because I expect someone to be more mature at check in both visually and audibly. I was also uncomfortable with the rainbow stickers on the name tags. I understand it is LBGTQ month... but I don't think it appropriate to be wearing this at the front desk. As for my physician, I absolutely love working with Dr. Goodwin. Very patient and clear with his listening and explanations of my current health questions and concerns.Providence Patient

I love Dr. Goodwin. I switched several years ago because I had a care provider who didn't seem to know who I was after seeing him for 20+ years. Dr. Goodwin has been a wonderful change.

Dr Goodwin has been great to me! no complaints.Providence Patient
Given my age, I've had several doctors in my lifetime and I have to say, Dr. Goodwin is the very best I've ever had. He's professional, personable and most importantly...sincere. While discussing my health history, current & previous prescriptions, referrals, etc...Dr. Goodwin knew it all without even glancing at my history on the computer. He also provided several health strategies for me to improve my overall health for years to come. He's great! I couldn't ask for a better doctor.Providence Patient
Dr. Goodwin is great. He is excellent with follow up, a good listener who provides frank answers with sensitivity. He treats you as partner in your health program and spends the requisite amount of time to complete your discussions.Providence Patient
Great listener; attentive; thorough.Providence Patient
Dr. Goodwin was very kind and he listened to me very well.Providence Patient
I've been seeing Dr. Goodwin at this clinic for years now. From front desk reception to nurse, nurse's aid, and physician they all are consistently the very best on all attributes. Not just on occasion, but consistently. Professional, personable, courteous, high technical caliber, and a good sense of humor. Without a good sense of humor, the rest is mute. They're a benchmark for others to model after. Additionally, the clinic is spotless clean. If I were King, I'd order immediate promotions, salary increases, and generous vacation to all of them. At minimum, treat this office to free pizza with extended lunch period. No Dominos Pizza, but their choice from one of many gourmet pizza places. They deserve praise for their consistency.Providence Patient
Dr. Goodwin is excellent and he has superb staff!Providence Patient

He was a good listener and knew my medical history even though this was my first visit with himProvidence Patient
Dr. Goodwin is excellent! He was my mother's doctor too and I adore him! Amazing!!!Providence Patient
Dr. Goodwin was a pleasure to meet for the first time, and he seemed to be concerned about finding answers to my health queries. I must say also, as I've been to other dr offices, that the reception staff seemed helpful and courteous, and not "an extension of the God complex" as I've experienced elsewhere-?Thank you, and I've already referred my familyProvidence Patient
From the moment I check in, I am treated like a valued person every single visit. This particular visit, the front desk clerk helped me make an appointment with another provider that I needed to see as soon as possible, even though the provider had a busy schedule. He also said to me, "How can I best help you today?" and I really appreciated that [...]. I always feel like the desk clerks treat me with kindness and respect. Back in the room, I was roomed by medical assistants who know me and understand my chart, and review my medications and allergies with me every visit. They understand my needs and always take care to treat my specific needs and treat me with respect and compassion, and to take my vitals gently and accurately. Then Dr. Goodwin came in for our visit - and as usual he reviewed my medications and my care plan with me. He listened carefully to my concerns and addressed all my questions. He always takes the time to address my concerns and to understand my specific needs, and he always takes a holistic view of my health. He also gives me referrals when I need them and does not hesitate to help me get care from specialists or additional tests if needed. He always treats me with respect and compassion and I feel very supported by him and his entire team. [...] after the visit I was having trouble at the pharmacy filling a prescription for my asthma nebulizer, which I need to treat my asthma at home and without it I would likely have to go to urgent care or the ER during this time of year. When I called my dr office, [...] the medical assistant on Dr. Goodwin's team helped me resolve the issues and helped me get the prescription filled. [...] listened to my concerns, looked up my information, then worked with the pharmacist to make sure I could get my important asthma medication. I am so so grateful for her assistance.Providence Patient
This is my second year with Doctor Goodwin. I am very satisfied with the attention he provided to my individual issues and the direction he has provided.

I was promptly seen. Dr. Goodwin took time to leave the observation room to check information before making decisions about further tests. This is more appreciated than assuming my PCP knows everything, all the time. Dr. Goodwin has incredible bedside manner while listening and giving empathy and care.Providence Patient
