Geri Goodman & Her Professional LASIK Success Story

Geri Goodman has always had a steady hand. As a young girl, she had a knack for the fine precision required for needlepoint - a craft that prepared her hands and mind for the work she now does as a nationally recognized corneal specialist.

Goodman was one of the first ophthalmologists to perform refractive eye surgery (more commonly known as LASIK surgery) in the United States. She was involved in the studies, which gained the surgery approval from the Food and Drug Administration, and is now recognized as an authority on the subject. Fortunately for residents on the South Shore, Goodman and her family recently relocated to Cohasset.

Goodman and her family, which includes husband Dan Counihan and their son Brian, moved to Jerusalem Road from Baltimore, Md. in 2005. Counihan was offered a job at Gensyme in Cambridge, which initiated the move.

"We thought we’d live closer to Cambridge," said Goodman, but after driving through Cohasset, they fell in love with the town. "It's very picturesque," she said, adding they have met many very nice people, her son loves attending the Osgood School, and the whole family loves the small-town feel, which they did not have in Baltimore.

Goodman is a doctor for the Nielsen Eye Center, which has offices in Quincy as well as Derby Street in Hingham. "We're trying to expand our services on the South Shore," she said.
