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. GOLDBERG is a great guy, I would recommend
Dr Goldberg is someone I trust. He has done a lot for me and I truly appreciate him and respect him as a Doctor and a person.

Great Docter!
The Doctor and his staff have helped me in every way! I wouldn’t say this if it wasn’t true. Dr. Joel and his staff, Dan etc… have been there if there’s a problem with insurance. Each time they return my call and have always found time to help me straighten things out! I see other people complain and I really think they’re speaking of someone else? As I said everyone in that office has been prompt, courteous beyond all expectations I could imagine. I just wanted the Dr and his staff to know it’s truly appreciated! If you need a kind and caring doctor, yes. If they have any openings, you’d be lucky to get the care they offer!

Left him years ago after having a glucose test that required drinking sugar solutions and then have three blood draws every hour. The problem was his phlebotomist was about 90 years old and could not see. She stabbed the hell out if me 3 times and wasn't successful in the entirety of the test. I gave him an earful and said we were done. On top of that he does not believe in fax machines so I couldn't have results faxed. Had to be hand carried. He need to go out to pasture.

The office is an old house. Computer system is archaic. Parking lot is a joke. I've witnessed disabled people trying to use the "handicapped" entrance and been panicked for them! Concrete isn't up to code and they throw out a transportable ramp, very scary to watch! You won't see Dr. Goldberg you get shuffled to PAs. No relationship, no warm fuzzies, no understanding for chronic disabling diseases, son is his office manager and doesn't respond to messages, I have used the practice three times and felt the same way every time I was there.

The office makes appointments and doesn't document them, you go in and they refuse to see you. My child has Keystone First as a secondary and billed incorrectly (confirmed by insurance bills not submitted correctly or not at all) and they refused to see him because of a balance. Dr himself quotes made up law and regulations that I verified with the state. Very rude and unprofessional. He is now hurt and out of medication for a chronic condition and they don't care.

Dr. Goldberg (and Dan) + the rest of the staff are amazing, always accommodating to my annoying habit of being late or rescheduling last minute. I never had to wait more than 5 mins in the waiting area, and have always gotten prompt call-backs after business hours (emergencies or meds called in). Dr. Goldberg is the bomb!

I have been Dr. Goldberg's patient for many years. Last year I spent several days in the hospital and Dr. Goldberg and his staff were very concerned about me. Dr. Goldberg called the hospital several times to check on me and saw me in his office shortly after my release to check on my progress. His staff goes above and beyond, frequently solving problems the patients could have handled themselves. I am grateful to have a helpful doctor like Dr. Goldberg who seems to genuinely care about me.

I have found the best Dr. He and his staff are the best I have seen in many years. I have a rare chronic disease, and Dr. Goldberg has been the best at handling this in at least 25 years of seeing many different types of Dr.'s. If you want a caring Dr. and staff, these are the people to see !

Dan runs the Suboxone program better than any dr I have been to! Hes always on call, on top of prior authorizations- never lets them expire. He spends time with everyone. Gave me his card with phone and email address, also helped me find out the cheapest version of suboxone since I don't have insurance. He worked with the pharmacy to compare prices of Sub tablets, sub film with coupon, Zubsolv, and Bunavail. He even helped me sign up for an assistance program through the manufacture of suboxone.

This is the best experience that I ever had at a Doctor's office. I visited him a few years ago and could not imagine finding a new doctor. He has a great balance of experience, compassion, knowledge and practicality. In a time when it is common to practice automatic medicine, it refreshing to find a physician that does not use an "one size fits all" approach. His staff is well trained and very accommodating. I have to travel a distance to see him but it is well worth the drive!
