Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Goldfarb performed bilateral mastectomies on me 17 years ago. I can’t speak highly enough of her. She was always professional, with a considerate, kind bedside manner. She worked seamlessly as a team with my plastic surgeon. I felt very blessed to have her as my doctor.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Goldfarb?
Dr. Goldfarb performed a biopsy/lumpectomy over 20 years ago. I'll never forget that when she did the node procedure, she made it a point to put the drain where it would be most comfortable. I've seen her every year since for followup. She is kind and straightforward and reassuring and spends as much time with you as you need. I highly recommend her. I myself chose her after a friend/patient and two doctors recommended her.
