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.

Avoid. Not a good doctor. She won't let you talk, "thinks" she knows everything, contradicts herself, and then blames the patient for their serious illness. Don't trust your precious health with this one.

Dr Goldstien came highly recommended, so I made the trip for an appointment. I understand why she is so revered. I left the appointment without an unanswered question, and I am totally confident in the diagnosis and treatment plan. Thank you Northwestern, and Dr Goldstien.
