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.

IF I COULD RARE HIM A NEGATIVE 5 I WOULD
DR. GOLDMAN KEPT HAVING ME RETURN EVERY 6 WEEKS TO GET MY CO -PAMENT AND BILL MY INSURANCE. HE DID NOTHING TO HELP MY PAIN. HE IS A DISCRACE TO HIS PROFESSION. AFTER 4 VISITS AND NOTHING BEING DONE, I WENT FOR A SECOND OPINION. IN JUST 1 VISIT AT THE NEW DOCTOR, HE TOOK AN X-RAY OF MY SHOULDER, TOLD ME I HAD TERRIBLE ARTHRITIS, INJECTED ME WITH A CORTISONE SHOT, SAID TO COME BACK IN SIX MONTHS IF IT WORKED FOR ANOTHER SHOT, IF NEEDED, IF IT DIDN'T, HE SAID, I WILL PROBABLY NEED SURGERY. IT IS 4 MONTHS SINCE MY INJECTION AND I AM DOING WELL. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO DR. GOLDMAN ( AND I USE THAT TERM LOOSLY) AGAIN.

Not the best any more
I'd been seeing Dr. Goldman for quite a few years when I went in last year for shoulder pain. I'd seen Dr. Goldman the year before for the same pain, but now the pain was getting worse. Dr. Goldman dismissed my pain and decided that his diagnosis from the year before was still correct. I chose t get a second opinion. The second doctor took an Xray and ordered an MRI and...Dr. Goldman's diagnosis was not correct.

Shoulder pain – Jul 30, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Goldman?
Very professional and empathetic. The women at the front desk are super welcoming and thorough. On my first visit, I was prepared to wait a long time before I saw Dr. Goldman. Not so. There is nothing like going to a place that respects others time without making you feel rushed. The day of my surgery, a few hours after I made it home, I was pleasantly surprised by receiving a call from Dr. Goldman making sure that I was okay. I was also amazed of how helpful the staff was, assisting me with getting dressed after my surgery. How I wish he was a primary care Dr!! I’d NEVER go anywhere else. Dr. Goldman does not let a title dictate the man that he is. Very humble and caring and that has been passed on to his great staff!!

Dr. Goldman is fine, but the ladies at the front desk are so rude. I have been waiting for a prescription for a week. While I was waiting on the phone for twenty minutes to inquiry the prescription, the lady just told me she was so busy and didn't wait for me finishing my talk and then hung up on me. I have never met a doctor's office lady like her. She should be educated: The person you are talking to is a patient. If you are a rude or impatient person, do not work at a doctor's office.
