David Goff, MD

For David Goff, M.D., one of the most important things a pediatrician can do is to treat the whole child. To him, that means taking the time to truly listen to and answer the questions that parents and patients ask. Developing a strong bond of communication can have a positive effect on the health of a child and the child's family.
