Philip P. Goodney, MD, MS

I am a board-certified neurosurgeon focused on brain, spine and peripheral nerve disease. My goal is to restore patients' neurologic function. I'm here to improve their quality of life. An important part of my care is walking patients through the decision-making process. Meeting with a neurosurgeon often involves conversations about difficult diagnoses and complex treatments. Those conversations can be hard to digest. That is why I address patients' concerns clearly, comprehensively and compassionately. I want them to feel comfortable and informed about their care decisions. While I love taking care of all patients, my specific areas of focus are: Peripheral nerve surgery Functional surgery Epilepsy surgery Facial pain These conditions are often chronic and painful. They can make life's activities difficult to enjoy. But with the right surgical approach, patients see life-changing results. My team at Dartmouth Health makes achieving those results possible. We pursue evidence-based, personalized care for patients. Through innovative research and collaborations from the laboratory to the bedside, we advance scientific discovery. Together, we provide world-class care to our community.

I love working with older adults and their families. I enjoy helping my patients meet their goals so they can live as well as possible, no matter what medical problems they are dealing with. It can be easy to get lost in our country's complicated and imperfect medical system. Patients deserve to have doctors who really listen to their needs and help them coordinate their care between providers. I work hard to communicate with my patients, understand their wishes, and help them get the care they need. Before coming to Dartmouth-Hitchcock, I worked for the Indian Health Service in New Mexico for 4 ½ years. Working in a resource-limited setting and learning cultural humility helped me become a better doctor.
