After graduating 'First' in his class (Cum Laude) from Temple University, School of Pharmacy with a Bachelors Degree in Pharmacy (1971), Dr. Goodyear attended Temple University School of Medicine where he received his M.D. Degree in 1975. He then pursued his General Surgical training at Abington Memorial Hospital in Abington, Pennsylvania, completing his surgery residency training in 1980. After serving as Chief Surgical Resident at Abington Memorial Hospital, he came 'home' to Lansdale, Pennsylvania to begin his practice of General Surgery.
Quickly developing an interest in the diagnosis and surgical repair of primary and recurrent hernias, as well as complex hernias of the abdominal wall, Dr. Goodyear developed expertise and has focused his continued surgical education and training in this highly technical area. He has truly 'Specialized' in the field of Hernia Surgery (Herniology) for over 24 years. He has been a pioneer in the Benchmark approach to Tension-Free abdominal wall hernia repair. While Dr. Goodyear is a frequent speaker and educator in the area of Hernia Repair Surgery within the medical profession (RE: CHINA LECTURE SERIES), and often appears as a public service to the citizens of the surrounding communities as well, it remains his major focus to be primarily involved in direct patient care in the specialty field of hernia surgery.
