National Jewish Health Patient– June, 2018
*Dr. Good is a world class doctor as well as a world class human being. I owe my health today 100% to his care!

National Jewish Health Patient– June, 2018
Dr Good is the best doctor ever. He has kept me alive for the past ten years. I am sad to see him retire, but wish him all the best.

National Jewish Health Patient– June, 2018
Dr Good is the best physician that I have had the pleasure to work with in my [age]

National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2018
No real concerns or worries, just a routine checkup.

National Jewish Health Patient– April, 2018
Dr James Good is just the best

National Jewish Health Patient– March, 2018
now that Dr. Good is retiring, I am concerned about finding another doctor who will be equally as outstanding

National Jewish Health Patient– March, 2018
Dr Good is truly outstanding and has been a health provider for me since before he came to NJH. He is the reason I transferred my treatment to NJH. At times I can give up on my [CONDITION] issue and when ever I meet with Dr. Good, I come away energized and ready to try an new avenue. He also encourages my wife well as this [CONDITION] and issues surrounding it have frightened her when we have had to call 911. If it weren't for his encouragement, insights and upbeat attitude, I probably would have given up years ago.

National Jewish Health Patient– February, 2018
Dr. Good is and excellent, caring doctor.

National Jewish Health Patient– February, 2018
Dr Good is a kind, compassionate man who cares about me as a person. He cares about my health and improving it. The world needs more Doctors and more importantly more people like him.
