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.

Not dignified.
Money is the number one driving force of Dr. Goldberg. Maybe because his wife is the Office Manager and has college aged kids so it would make sense. Botulinum toxin is his answer to everything. His aesthetician that was moving to Florida told me his patients come to him with prescribed bottles of botulinum toxin and he injects them with it. I had originally thought he was nice. But through the years and after a couple of procedures my opinion has changed considerably. I don’t think he’s very honest and is definitely heavy handed with the botulinum toxin.

I recently had a face lift and fat grafting by Dr. Goldberg. He is easy to talk to, takes time to understand what you want and lets you know exactly what will and will not work for your unique situation. The results were much more than I could have hoped for. The look is very natural and not overdone. He made me look like myself but much fresher and younger without changing my appearance drastically. I would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Goldberg is the most amazing plastic surgeon on the Monterey Peninsula, he is a true artist. Two months ago I had a full facelift and I can't find enough words to say how pleased I am. I look like me but better. All my girlfriends have been incredibly impressed by how I look. In fact one scheduled her appointment for a facelift shortly after mine and is now recovering beautifully. I also want to add that his staff were phenomenal!!!!!
