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.

Although the reason for the appt wasn't necessarily urgent, I appreciated that Dr. Goodwin's office scheduled me the same day, and then at the time of my appt, saw me within five minutes. This shows a tremendous respect for my time.

Providence Patient
It was a normal visit, nothing to report
5
Providence Patient
Most of time I was in the hospital and care centers. I was under heart care personnel. I do not remember any time I talked to my care provider. After I was released from the hospital and care facility then I was put back under his care. He was not involved in the care decisions while in the hospital. Now he is involved but does not seem he understands some of the decisions that are being made on my return to normal living. He has changed his mind a few times. I need to get back to normal life styles but it feels like he is changing his mind as we move through this process. He has been increasingly changing his mind to more restricting methods. I just need to move on.

Providence Patient
Dr. Goodwin is a wonderful doctor. I trust him always to help me manage my health care, as I'm dealing with depression, anxiety and undergoing Electroconvulsive Therapy. I recently had a issue regarding my blood pressure that the anesthesiologists were concerned about and I was able to get in the next day. We decided on what to do and discussed all options available while I undergo continued treatment.

While I was in the waiting room, I had a blast of abdominal pain that was quite intense. When the nurse came out to get me, I was already in tears. She was SOOOO kind and helped me to the room, offered to let me lie down and get me a blanket to help keep me warm. I'm so sorry I can't recall her name at the moment, but she is the regular nurse that sees me every time and is always very kind and accommodating. She was even able to help keep my anxiety attack from coming out in full force. Also, Dr. Goodwin, ever the gentle presence, made sure I was ok and checked me out to be sure nothing was in eminently wrong, as I had been in the ER the day before, for the same problem. He explained that the antibiotic I had been on can because lots of abdominal and stomach issues. But that things should start to improve now that I am off. This office is far and away the most compassionate, caring and concerned doctor's office I've ever been to in my life! Thank you also to Heather, Jordan, and Hannah, who are always there for me whenever I need them.

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.

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
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.
