Dr. Goodreau was raised in the dairy farming area of Corning, New York, with three brothers and one sister. A typical day was spent playing in the woods, participating in sports such as baseball, football and lacrosse and of course doing his school work. He studied chemistry at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and attending the University of New Mexico School of Pharmacy and School of Medicine. After completing medical school, he did his residency in family practice at Scenic General Hospital in Modesto. After touring Europe on a motorcycle for two months and practicing medicine for one year in Belen, New Mexico, he returned to Modesto to join the physicians at Family Health Care in 1994. Now his favorite pastimes include spending more time with his wife, Michelle, and children, Paul and Mia, traveling, playing golf and riding dirt bikes in the woods of California. His goals in medicine revolve around providing the most comprehensive and compassionate care to his patients.
