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. Gold is the best of the best!
Dr. Gold is one of the most thorough, caring, and compassionate physicians I have ever come across. He truly cares about his patients and their family. Dr. Gold is so passionate about GI Pediatrics. He spends 30 minutes with us at each appointment. He talks my infant daughter through each appointment and soothe her when she’s upset. When he does exams, he even does the duties that nurses would normally do. Whenever we are having a hard time at home with our Gastro issues, he call on his lunch, or after hours to walk us through how to help her our little one. He squeezes us into his busy schedule when there’s no more availability. I wish he could be our pediatrician. He is truly one of a kind with a heart of gold. I would recommend Dr. Gold to any and all parents.

Dr. Gold has been my son’s Dr for 5 years. You will never find a more invested, devoted, caring doctor. He gets truly invested in the care of his patients.

Patchogue, NY – Apr 05, 2018

This doctor's office has deceptive billing practices. I went in for a typical office visit at his office in Deer Park (not the hospital). Instead of paying a usual copay, this doctor now bills the same way a doctor bills if we saw him at the hospital itself which goes against my deductable and coinsurance. So instead of having a $40 bill, I had a $225.14 bill. I filed numerous complaints against the hospital, no answer. No choice but to blast this guy on social media and warn other patients

Dr. Gold was amazing. So personable and friendly. Spent so much time with my husband and I disgussing what was wrong with my son. He made sure we understood what was going on and answered all our questions. My son was so comfortable with him. His staff was also amazing. Got my son right in and were so nice and helpful. Highly recommend this doctor and staff.
