His interests include hip, shoulder and knee arthroscopy, complex knee and shoulder reconstructive surgeries, ankle arthroscopy and ligamentous stabilization, and fracture care.
Dr. Goodman is a native of Russellville, Ark. After completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Central Arkansas, where he played collegiate soccer, he then completed his medical training at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Dr. Goodman then spent five years in Orthopaedic Surgery Residency at San Antonio Military Medical Center (Brooke Army Medical Center and Wilford Hall Medical Center) in San Antonio, Texas. During this time, he trained at Level 1 trauma centers as well as the Air Force Academy and Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, Calif.
Dr. Goodman was active duty in the U.S. Air Force during his residency and was promoted to major while serving at Eglin Air Force Base outside of Destin, Fla. During this time, he cared for airmen, seaman, and army soldiers and spent time as lead team orthopaedic surgeon for the Army 7th Special Forces Group Green Berets and Air Force Special Operations Squadron. While serving as a staff surgeon, Dr. Goodman was deployed to Afghanistan for six months, where he served as Medical Director at Craig Joint Theatre Hospital at Bagram Airfield from June to Nov. 2020. At the conclusion of his active service, he was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal for the care he provided for his fellow service members, and the specific medical needs for the local Special Forces community.
After his tenure in the Air Force, Dr. Goodman went to fellowship training at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Orthopaedic Surgery Sports Medicine. While there, he learned the skills required to take care of complex shoulder, knee, hip and ankle injuries, including ligamentous injuries, cartilage injuries, instability, tendon ruptures, and restoration of complex joint biomechanics. He had the opportunity to treat and care for high performing athletes, weekend warriors and individuals of the community with both acute and chronic injuries. During this time, he served as a team physician for the University of Kansas Jayhawks football and national championship men’s basketball team, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Kansas City Royals.

The hospital has implemented new equipment to accommodate Dr. Goodman’s surgeries, including a postless hip arthroscopy table, a computerized imaging system that is patient-specific to allow the physician to plan in advance for their hip surgery.
In addition to holding hospital privileges at Ascension St. John Owasso, Dr. Goodman will also have privileges at Ascension St. John Tulsa, Union Pines Surgery Center, St. Francis Hospital and St. Francis South and Natalie Surgery Center. He will perform surgeries primarily at Ascension St. John Owasso.
