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.

He has been my doctor for 7 years. I trust him explicitly. Easy to talk to. He patiently listens to you. You never feel as if you are a number and that he is trying to hurriedly get to the next person. Dr Goldansky truly cares for you as a patient and not just a condition or symptom that needs to be dealt with. Staff is very courteous. The medical assistant answers inquiries in a timely manner.

I GET AN APPOINMENT IN A SHORT TIME, SOMETIMES THE SAME DAY. HE IS FAMILIAR WITH ME AND MY PROBLEMS AS SOON AS HE ENTERS THE ROOM. HE KEEPS US CURRENT ON ALL THE NEEDED SHOTS. HE IS JUST ON TOP OF EVERYTHING WE NEED ALL THE TIME. WE ARE 81 AND 77 YEARS OLD AND HE IS THE BEST WE HAVE EVER HAD

Doctor Goldansky is a true professional Doctor! Very attentive and thorough. He is not only very knowledgeable, but always looks at all the options and just doesn't write prescriptions right away.

Dr. Goldansky is what you would look for in an Internist/Family Doc. He always takes the time to explain everything. Not easy to find a Doc that does as well as one this knowledgeable! Would not hesitate recommending him!

Dr. Goldansky is an old time doctor. He cares about his patients health and will take what ever time is necessary for each patient. He spends the time to thoroughly examine you, explain in detail the results of his examination and takes the time to discuss treatment options if they are necessary. Dr. Goldansky has always taken the time to listen to all my questions and answer them in great detail. I would highly recommend Dr. Goldansky if someone needs an internal medicine physician.

So happy I met him! He's a REAL doctor and not a wannabe. He's caring, takes his time, actually listens, explains everything and he's got a great sense of humor. The staff is fantastic.

I was a patient of the good doctor for 6 or 7 years, until I forgot to make my 3 month follow up appointment. It was not until my pharmacy told me that they had faxed 3 requests asking for a refill for my injectable diabetes medicine. It was not until I called and left a message that his assistant returned my call and was told "until I make a appointment, he was not going to refill any medicine". I ask should a patient be punished, let alone refused medicine for a serious condition? Ethical?

The moment I met Dr. Goldansky, I knew he was the right primary care physician for me: friendly, direct, focused, thorough and asks a lot of questions about me. His professional approach and holistic perspective on my health, today and in the future, is what struck me as a doctor who cares and wants only the best for me. Thank you, Dr. Goldansky.

Dr Goldanski has been my doctor since 2008. My insurance that pays his office. Last week, I was declined my yearly appointment because I owe them $109. In the past, if there is a balance due at my appt time, I have ALWAYS paid it. His staff suggested that I go to Urgent Care or find another doctor if I could not pay. How unethical. I always take care of any outstanding balances when I go in for my appointments. Today I was declined my dental visit because my blood pressure is high due no meds.

Dr.Goldansky seems to be generally competent and open minded, listening to your concerns. Nevertheless, he behaved extremely unprofessional at the end when for no reason at all indeed, he decided to terminate the care to me. I got no phone call, no warning letter, just an only one and final notification stating that I was not longer his patient. I was his patient for almost 20 years. One time I was very understanding about a major mistake he made on me for which I still have consequences.
