Dr. Goranson is an excellent physician in every way.
Dr. Goranson is phenomenal. I always feel like I’m her favorite patient, and I’m sure she does this with all her patients. She takes the time to pause and think about your case/her response. She is pleasant to work with, and you always feel like you are in good hands with her. Her medical assistant was friendly, pleasant, and a bit humorous. Overall, a predictably pleasant experience as always.
Appreciate how relatable Dr. Goronson and her medical asst. are.
Very informative, very patient listener, knowledgeable, good advice.
Dr. Goranson is the truly a great doctor. I see her once per year and she really takes the time to talk with me about all issues, not just GYN-related. I know I can count on her for to take good care of me, and she’s so friendly and really does take interest in my health. I am so glad she is my doctor!
Dr. Gorenson was great. She didn't know anything about my history as this was just an annual check. But, she was very kind and listened. I have been a patient of Dr. Olmstead for 16/17 years and was not able to get in to her.
I'm always anxious to meet with a new provider, but Dr. Goranson was great! I'm happy to meet with her until Dr. Olmstead returns!
Very thankful for Dr Goransen’s sensitivity with me
Always knowledgeable a pleasure to see
Both the medical assistant and the doctor were so personable and took the time to discuss and review.
Dr. Goranson is always friendly, professional, and genuinely interested in you. She's great at explaining what she's doing, listening & making sure she's not hurting you. She makes an awkward & uncomfortable situation much less.
Gorenson is SO calm, doesn’t make you feel rushed and listens so well
Dr Goransen is so attentive and never makes one feel rushed. She's so easy to be with and willing to help!
I love the care and expertise here and the time my dr. Spends listening to me. Helps so much and has excellent way of helping and never being judgmental but encouraging. This is so important and goes a long way to relieve worries and stress in these times. Thank you very much. My OBGYN is Lori Goranson and her assistant was very good as well.
Dr Goranson is awesome! She took time to listen and care about me.
Health providers (nurse practitioner and doctor) listened well to my concerns and questions and were very responsive to my needs.
I have had negative experiences with other OBGYN providers in the past at other clinics, and it was a breathe of fresh air to be treated respectfully and compassionately by Dr. Goranson. Thank you!
