Please take in to consideration my visit from 14 years ago in comparison to what is posted from recent visits. No change ! Just because there is a lack of women's ob/gyn you are much better off with any man with working hands. Here's my traumatic visit: During my gynecological exam, I felt extremely uncomfortable with the manner in which the Pap smear and pelvic exam were conducted. The doctor made comments and used language that were highly unprofessional, crude, and inappropriate for a medical setting -- language that would be more fitting in a brothel than in a doctor's office. I will not repeat the specific remarks here out of discomfort, but they were offensive and unacceptable during such a vulnerable and sensitive procedure. Additionally, the receptionist or office manager displayed behavior that was loud, rude, and wholly unprofessional. Rather than creating a calm, supportive environment, she was confrontational, uninformed about procedures, and dismissive in a way that added unnecessary stress to an already uncomfortable visit. Her attitude and tone were completely out of line for someone in a front-facing role responsible for patient care and communication. It's taken me many years to be able to speak this out loud, but I feel that people should know how awful this place is do not go. Just don't. read more

Dr. Goodhead delivered my last son in 2008 and also tied my tubes. It was not a good experience for me. She was very mean especially during the birth stating "It hurts doesn't it!" I should have switched doctors. I don't know what type of tubal I had and I was told my records don't exist anymore. during the tubal, she said "Are you sure? I do it so a reversal is not possible." In a mean sort of way. Now I want to have another baby and I will never know what type of tubal I had. I hope no one has this type of experience during pregnancy and childbirt. It should be caring and nurturing And I got none of that. read more

Dr. Goodhead is an experienced OBGYN serving the Las Vegas area. She delivered my first grandchild in 2011 and she's my current gynecologist and I feel comfortable enough to talk to her about my issues! read more

Dr.Goodhead delivered my first baby and it was an experience I'll always cherish. Setting appointments and getting in contact with her office is very easy. Hardly no wait time when arriving at appointments. At first I took her bed side manners as cold but I quickly learned that she's just a matter of fact person and she's really experienced in her field so it's best to just trust her judgement. When I had to be induced due to GD, she helped me figure out a more natural route. However, I wasn't able to stick to my natural delivery plan so she helped me get the medication I needed to ease my pain and made sure all the nurses knew exactly what her plan was for me. She kept checking in on me through out my 31 hours of labor and was really encouraging. I'm giving it 4 stars just because when I was still recovering (3 weeks pp), I had some concerns about my stitches and wanted to have her check it out to make sure everything was ok, as this was my first time delivering, but her receptionist was kind of rude to me saying they've NEVER had any problems with recovery and this was super unusual to do and almost made me feel like I was being dramatic. The receptionist just made me feel stupid for even wanting my OB to check up on me lol. I eventually got seen and was told I was healing nicely but I just didn't appreciate the attitude from the receptionist. read more

I dread going to the Doctors office, but this place is as comforting as it gets. Parking is usually easy to find, and there's plenty of food options near by after you stop by. The space is clean and smells good not like a usual medicinal type smells LOL. They also are taking COVID safety measure seriously and even have you mark the seat you were waiting on in order to keep the place clean after your visit. The first time I ever stopped by the receptionist noticed how nervous I was that she even comforted me and it was so kind of her to go out of her way to even mention it, she genuinely seemed to care about the patients as she assured me it would be okay. Marsha is great, she's got a motherly type of stern yet nurturing essence to her and she is good at keeping me calm and chatting with me while I sit there naked and go through the rather uncomfortable and somewhat invasive pap process.. TMI but it's true. Also her phlebotomist was also great with the blood drawing needle, I I hardly even felt it go in or come out during the 3 vials of blood. It's also nice and sort of relaxing they have you lay down back on the bed as they draw your blood, compared to the usual sitting position that tend to Make me even more tense to see them do it. There's also a wall of baby photos from Marsha's patients that always gives me an extra sense of care and comfort. They also send you a yearly discreet pink papered reminder in the mail which makes the appointment making process easy and smooth to ensure your annual check ups. Glad I was directed to their services. read more

Marsha Goodhead has been my OB/GYN for probably 30+ yrs. She's sweet and an excellent doctor. It's always a pleasant visit in her office. Never ever have to wait that long. Staffs are always nice, although I miss her assistant Elaine. read more

Dr. Marsha Goodhead delivered my first baby about 4 years ago via c-section! Today is my 1st appointment for my 2nd pregnancy and everything went well. Dr. Goodhead and all the staffs are friendly and helpful. read more

Stay the hell away this woman is a hack and doesn't keep up with technology. I had irregular cells on my cervix she wanted to do a surgery where the downtime was a week off of work. But she didn't even tell me that the office staff did when they called to schedule the operation!! Wth! Way to prepare your patient! I got a second opinion from Dr Sauter-he did a completely different procedure and down time was 1day as he used a lazer! I realized I never updated my review: I went through the other doctors LEEP procedure to remove the irregular cells and was back at work in a day-thank goodness I had the brains to get a second opinion! read more

We were warned not to come here for several reasons: 1) Dr. Goodhead is rude. 2) She is behind the times. 3) She's too old to be practicing. And several other reasons Dr. Goodhead has delivered 3 of our children and will definitely deliver the 4th. She's among the most knowledgeable in her field and has several qualities that should be appreciated in someone who is delivering your children or caring for your health. 1) She is to the point and doesn't beat around the bush with any diagnosis or professional opinion. (It would be easy to misconstrue this quality as being rude if you're looking for a friend, not a doctor). 2) She is not quick to issue powerful drugs where other medicines could keep you just as safe without the potential for adverse side effects (another quality that could be confused for being "behind the times" when in reality it is sometimes best to avoid as many risks as possible when pregnant). 3) Dr. Goodhead's years of experience in her field will be missed when she inevitably retires. Her techniques in the delivery room coupled with her expertise have been solely responsible for the prompt and safe delivery of our 3 sons. She somehow remembered our concerns from weeks before delivery in regards to whether we could have another and had a clear and reassuring answer based on her findings from the procedure. Her ability to remember our concerns while in surgery delivering a baby is truly remarkable. For everyone leaving a negative review because your feelings were hurt, remember that you are looking for a doctor at the pinnacle of their field to be responsible for your life and the life of your baby. Unless you also have Dr. Goodhead in your list of Facebook friends, you shouldn't be surprised that she's short with her answers and to the point. Appreciate the fact that she is knowledgeable, precise, and an expert in her field and stop trying to turn your doctor into one of your "besties". She's not there to be your cheerleader, she's there to be your doctor. Furthermore, she's a pretty cool doctor anyway. She's a hockey fan but favors the Toronto Maple Leafs. It's fun knowing that you can bash your doctor's team a little during your visit and she will playfully dish it back. Can't wait to see her again! read more

It's really hard finding a female OB/GYN here in Las Vegas. I went to see her at a very critical time- I was having problems with my pregnancy, it was my first, after all. I was on the very cusp of getting my health insurance coverage. (I was still in the probation period at my new job, and was to receive the benefits the following month.) It seemed as if she did not want to deal with me because I didn't have insurance, and was going to apply for medicaid. She was very cold and callous as I was going through this difficult time in my life- I ended up losing the baby. She showed me no empathy and didn't seem to care as a medical professional. I felt so terrible and it was worse by having her as a doctor- yes, she seemed capable but she was not a people person. When she told me the news that I had lost the baby, I don't even think that she felt badly- it was the delivery- how she told me- expressionless, like an "Oh well." Fast forward a few years later, I had heard women raving about her on the local Mark & Mercedes show on Mix 94.1 FM. I really wanted to set the record straight about her. (I am sharing my experience because maybe someone else will read this and will think twice about seeing her.) But apparently, someone on yelp.com already exposed her for her lack of communication skills. read more

STAY AWAY FROM HERE AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT (it may.) In no particular order, the reasons why: 1) The office staff/management doesn't know what they are doing (i.e. needed to be told what a 'copay' was, doesn't know what a 'deductible' is) 2) Will make you wait well beyond your appt time 3) The lobby stinks 4) The Dr. has no bedside manner to speak of and she isn't up-to-date on her medical knowledge - she told me a condition I had should be "cured" based on a medication I take for symptoms; the condition is NOT curable (I double- and triple-fact checked that just to make sure I wasn't posting misinformation here); she also assumed that I had something that made absolutely no sense (and terrified me), so I went for a second opinion two days later, and that (competent) Dr. said he had no idea why she would jump to such a conclusion - he pulled my labs and it was clear she didn't know what she was talking about because I had a completely clean bill of health (Thank God for that other Dr.) 5) During blood draw, their phlebotomist went straight into the tissue in my arm and caused bleeding inside which put me out for a few days and left me with a huge disgusting bruise on my arm (like I'm a junkie or something; see my uploaded pics for proof.) If this has ever happened to you, then you know how painful it is. If it hasn't, you do NOT want to know how painful this is! 6) They said to call Friday for results, then said they didn't have them (OK fine, it happens); then called Monday for the same results at 9 am and they said 'the nurse has left for the day, try tomorrow'; so unprofessional. 7) Sitting in the room, you can hear staff outside in the halls laughing and basically wasting (your and any other patients') time. 8) In the other rooms, I could hear other patients fighting like an episode of Jerry Springer - SO not the environment where you want to be getting medical treatment. There are two other terrible reviews of this place that Yelp has hidden for some reason, but they are in line with my experience and apparently with that of the woman who was here in 2010. *****Do not go here - you've been warned.**** read more

Dr. good head is 100 years old and should've retired years ago she told my daughter that she needed to go to a dentist to get medicine for thrush during her pregnancy I've never heard of a pregnant person going to a dentist. Also the way she treated my daughter as a young pregnant mother was uncalled for someone should call the board of doctors and have her license revoked as she's probably too old to practice read more

I came here thinking this office would be a good choice. I have had family members have their babies delivered by this DR and I was thinking why not. So I go in and this woman and actually all of the employees here are VERY JUDGMENTAL AND RUDE, even over the phone over a simple request. It's not even the fact that they are straightforward, they're just simply rude and unwilling to help (from my experience). The nurse or Phlebotomist who took my blood, for my blood test during my very first visit, totally punctured through my vein and whatever she was doing caused me pain and my arm was bruised very badly for a week! It's like she didn't know what she was doing! She had to switch to my other arm and that arm even bruised but very faintly. I don't even feel like I want to go to my next scheduled appointment with them. I'm switching doctors ASAP. I don't recommend anybody to come here. It is not worth anybody's time. read more

They are rude asf do not go here !!! The front desk people all have attitudes even the MA ! The doctor is unprofessional. The doctor gone tell me I don't look like I am in pain when I'm showing her where I'm hurting ! Who tells a patient they don't look like their in pain. That's so rude ! The MA got mad because I couldn't pee worst doctors office I ever been to ! read more

Do not go here if you have Medicaid!! They discriminate!! Had issues with my insurance and they were rude to me and tried to send me to another office that "specializes in Medicaid" . They treat you like they have no time for people with Medicaid and especially people who are having issues with it. They care more about no wanting to deal with Medicaid than my babies Health and are not nice about it. Was never even seen by the dr cuz they wouldn't even let me pay out of pocket and I had made 2 different appointments, showed up to both on time! Like I said even offered to pay out of pocket so I can make sure my unborn child is healthy. read more

This doctor was recommended for my mom from her internal doctor. I read these views and am horrified. She has many female physicians as her patients, she is far from a bad doctor. She is old school and very well read. I would rather have a doctor that spends her time reading and knowing what is going on in the field then spending time holding patients hands. read more

I had a 4 o'clock appointment and waited almost an hour to be seen. The nurse who called me was rude and rushing me around. She didn't test me for pregnancy, which is the real reason I came in. She told me I can test at home, and I explained that pee tests have never worked for me even when I am pregnant , I told the appointment maker that I needed a blood test. The nurse said that telling the appt maker is pointless... so the staff don't talk to each other ?? Anyway, dr goodhead didn't seem to believe or care about what I was telling her about my health history, her and the nurse didn't listen to me at all. And the dr didn't explain anything she was doing, finished and told me to leave. I will not be coming back here. It was a cold, impersonal, and pointless visit. read more

I don't recommend anyone here. The staff are very rude and unprofessional and don't want to do their job. I never saw any worse office like this especially Mitchell. She shouldn't even work there and I am going to complain to medical associates this isn't acceptable. read more

Horrible. Never again. This is the worst doctor I've ever been to. She will shut down anything you say about how you feel and she will make sure you feel uncomfortable. She didn't prescribe anything related to my pregnancy condition. I have been SUFFERING from Hypermesis Gravardium and she kept telling me that it's normal and didn't bother to help. No respect at all. She does not need to be working. This is my first pregnancy and she made my FIRST OBGYN appointment experience HORRIBLE. Very rude and very unprofessional. I can't believe I still gave her a chance after reading reviews. Dr. Goodhead should not be working anymore. She is very cold and I would never recommend her to anyone. The nurses are just as bad. Very rude. read more

All the negative comments is crazy. My experience with her and staff has been wonderful. Personally I don't like long visits I wanna go in and get stuff done and leave. She's straight forward which I don't have a problem with and her staff are extremely friendly. read more

I had my second baby with her and my birth control as well... I love my delivery with her she's very professional and I'm about to have my 3rd baby and she give you a professional job for my opinion she's been the best doctor I been ever have but also she's very serious which its ok with me i don't judge people I just recognize there work and for me she's very professional and a good gynecology she make sure my baby is ok thank you Dr marshall goodhead!!! read more

Save yourself the trouble and find yourself another OB. I found Dr. Goodhead through my insurance's website and she had a decent rating, so why not give her a try? The only good thing about her clinic is that you can schedule later appointments if you are busy during the week. But after going to her for the first trimester, I decided to switch out of her care for many reasons: - Appointment times mean nothing. Schedule it at a certain time and you won't be seen til at least 30 minutes after your scheduled time. It was a recurring theme at EVERY appointment. - When you do finally get seen, the appointment is about 5-10 minutes long. "I waited an hour for this??" She doesn't ask questions so she doesn't have to spend time with you. All she does is check the baby's heart beat and says you are good to go. - Dr. Goodhead is not very pleasant to talk to. My first visit, she didn't care to explain anything. I asked her questions on what is/isn't okay to do and eat during pregnancy and all she did was hand me a couple of handouts and told me to read it. No explanation, no congratulations, nothing. The only thing she asked was if the father was going to be a part of the pregnancy and moseyed on her way. - I had to ask her if she can prescribe me prenatal vitamins. If you don't ask, she really doesn't do anything. She prescribes these $50 vitamins and when I asked for a generic prescription, she had the audacity to ask why is $50 too much? As a pharmacist intern, I know that there is NO DIFFERENCE between getting brand vs generic, so why spend that much money on a month's supply of vitamins when you can get generic for free? She laughed a bit and said she would send a script since I insisted. I wish I had read the reviews for her on Yelp. I would've done things differently. Go somewhere else! read more

I was sent here by Sunny Babies and at first I wasn't a fan. One thing people need to understand is that Dr. Goodhead does not sugar coat things and she is straight to the point. If you want a super nice and over friendly doctor, go somewhere else. I have learned that Marsha is very straight forward and it may seem rude, but she is just blunt and doesn't have the time to deal with cry baby garbage. There have been times that I over reacted when my baby wasn't moving and I was just freaking out over literally nothing and instead of her feeding into it, she would tell me exactly what was up and that was it. She will only show concern when it's needed. I don't blame her for being "rude" I've seen the people that walk through the office and I'm glad I don't have to deal with them. She is the only doctor in that office that sees everyone and deals with you. She takes care of all of my prenatal needs and was amazing with my first delivery and I am seeing her again for my second one right now. I have never had any issues with her. So either learn to deal with her or stop wasting her time and go to a different OB. read more

I would not recommend this lady, I started visiting her when I was 5 months pregnant and she was the worst, she always looked like she was in a bad mood, wouldn't even smile back, nor make small talks, all she would do in my visits was Measure my belly and say baby's good, and your good to go make another Appointment , I would arrive so happy to see/hear how my baby was doing and I would come out so disappointed didn't really get to listen to my baby's heart beat but once, I didn't get many ultrasounds, it seemed like she was always in a rush! She never explained anything to me or had a good conversation with me. Iam self payed and on my visits they would never have change to give me back! Her office still owes me 15 dollars ! Her assistant would act like she forgot about the money and never payed me back or discounted the money from my next visit. It's not much but they need to be more professional, btw she didn't get to deliver my baby and I'm so glad she didn't because I had someone eles that was so sweet and helpful throughout my whole labor. I wouldn't recommend at all this rude negative environment Goodhead has going on! read more

I hate to say that I've had largely the same experience with Dr. Goodman, she told me I had Herpes with exactly the same attitude. I know that they deal with the same things over and over all day every day, but it doesn't seem like too much to expect a little bit of communication. Very abrupt, very unsympathetic. I called back several times for more information and was treated like an idiot by the nurses each time. ("Well should I be taking the Valtrex or not?"..."Well that's up to you dear...."). I don't know, I tried to tell myself she was just very good at what she does and just a fast worker, but other issues since have convinced me otherwise. I'm looking for a new doctor. And they do ask you what you're there for right in front of the whole (very small) waiting room. Not good. read more

She delivered my son at Sunrise Hospital. I love her! I wish i can go to her again but my insurance doesn't cover.

Go anywhere else!! I have to agree that this doctor has absolutely no bedside manner. She even comes across as judgmental, which is the last thing you want when seeing a gynecologist. I was in the process of switching gyns anyway because of this (and the incompetent office staff), when a collection agency called me and told me a bill from this office had been sent to collections. I called the doctor's office and they said that they sent me ONE notice that I had a bill due and when it was returned because they had the wrong address for me, they sent it to collections!! No call to get a hold of me, no 2nd notice, just right to collections. Now I'm being charged astronomical collection agency fees because of this terrible office policy. Bad business practice in my opinion. read more

How would you know a good doctor until they have saved your life or helped you with your health concerns.

Dr. Goodhead delivered me into this world, & she is now my OBGYN. I have been seeing her for several years, & I've never had a problem with her or the office. Results have been communicated effectively to me, and at most, I've only waited 15 minutes past my appointment time (usually I book morning times). She cares about her patients (including my mom), is efficient at her job, and gets to the point which is something I value. She has always been pleasant with me, but I guess some women rather be coddled and have their hand held for everything which she does not do. Other than that, I think it's unfair as to why her current rating is low, & I hope people reading these reviews don't discount her based on a few dramatically unhappy customers. read more

I had the most traumatizing experience with this doctor. I believe she should not be practicing. She is incredibly rude, not caring, yells at the patients even dared to push me. I cannot believe doctors like her are allowed to practice. read more

I know that you have heard the saying many times if I could give 0 stars I would and beyond. LADIES STAY AWAY!!!!! She does have terrible bedside manner and is very condescending. I have talked to many of my friends that have gone to her and they have all had negative experiences with this doctor. When they were diagnosed with what they were told, I wish I had done the same as them and got a second opinion. They were all misdiagnosed by this doctor. In all these cases a common denominator is a surgical diagnostic procedure from which she does surgery and earns additional monies from. When it comes to the office staff, the one who calls to delivers the bad news, I believe her name starts with a J, is absolutely classless when she tells you about your untrue diagnosis. This doctor will take advantage of any female who is not comfortable seeing a male gyno. If you read these reviews and have already made an appointment call back and cancel it. Find a different gynecologist. If your spouse or partner you are will is not level headed believe me, her diagnosis's could seriously ruin any relationship. Avoid this swindler like the plague. read more

Dr. goodhead should have never received her medical license.she is the worst OB/GYN I've ever had in my life. The service is horrible, she will overcharge you and not tell you what you going in for. Also her charge without insurance $100 per visit she's worth $.50. I hope I never get have a chance of meeting this woman and her staff ever again. Please be aware not to go to her or anyone that you recommend. read more

I wish that I didn't have to give any stars. This doctor shouldn't have a license at all. She wasn't rude to me in any type of way, however I went in for my annual check up and she was literally in and out in less than 3 minutes! She didn't really didn't go into depth about things that I asked her. It was like she didn't want to answer any of the questions that I was asking ( I thought that was her job). She never told me how to get my results ( if I was supposed to call or were they supposed to call me or set up another appointment). I finally called to get my results and the nurse told me that I had 2 things one being incurable. For one it is unprofessional to give results like this over the phone. All the nurse said was they don't treat that there. They never referred me to anyone or gave me any advice it was almost like I was disgusting to them. Anyway I found another doctor on my own and she retested me for everything and come to find out I am 100% healthy!!!! I don't have anything that she claimed I had. I don't know if my results were mixed up or what may have happened, but they are messing with people's livelihood!!!! I was so upset , but elated that I am In Fact healthy. This doctor and her nurses does not know what they're doing!!!! Go to this doctor at your own risk!!!! read more

DO NOT GO TO DR MARSHA GOODHEAD She should NOT be allowed to be a doctor, especially not a womens doctor! I went in for my 1st pregnancy appt (i had an ectopic pregnancy in the past and was super nervous and concerned that this might happen again), and she instantly judged me by my outward appearance. (I have tattoos) .. super common nowadays . I filled out computerized paperwork. .which asked what nationality the babys father is, in my case (African american) &im white.. She came in exam room , looked me up and down and waa reading my paperwork (medical history) 1st question she had for me was "do u even want a baby, i see u had an abortion before", i answered with "that was when i was 17, im 35 now", next question was "does your boyfriend want it?", i answered "yes, hes super happy and excited", to that she said "why? Does he have a bunch of kids or something? ", i was taken back but the question, and responded "no, he has 1 daughter who is 15" then she immediately asked "is he even active in her life?" I answered "yes, very active, ive been her stepmom for 13 years".. she was like "hmmm"... like she hated that i wasnt a walking jerry springer episode. . She had nothing else to say, did physical exam then sent nurse in to draw blood... that lady was a total c-word too..super cold and rude, poked me 5 times before getting necessary blood... leaving me badly bruised for 2 weeks.. Told me to go get sonogram somewhere else tomorrow to find out if pregnancy was ectopic. . Also said my results would be back the next day and they'd call me if anything was irregular. .. I cried that whole day after I left. . She was so mean, ive heard ppl say shes like that bcuz of her military background. .no excuse in my book.. Needless to say, i started looking for a new ob gyn the next day.. A month later joan called from the office to let me know i had an infection. .my sister answered my phone and asked to take a message, she told my sister i needed treatment and to call back.. i called back and asked for joan, she got on the phone and i asked that they not disclose my personal information to others, she got an instant attitude, i said regardless, i just need to know what's wrong, what do i need treatment for? She went off on me saying if i didnt want my personal information given out, i shouldn't be letting ppl answer my phone.. i told her ur being very unprofessional, can u just give me my results.. its been over a month that they've known something was wrong with me.. she then said don't worry about it and hung up on me, i called back immediately, , the next lady who answered the phone, i begged, please don't transfer me to joan, can u just tell me what us wrong?.. she put me on hold , then came back on the line to tell me i had a uti.. for over a month i didnt get these results, it could have ruptured . Cold as ice, and very rude. Unprofessional. . & I ENDED UP MISCARRYING .. :-( read more
