Dr. Smriti Goel, MD

Flatly refused to allow my husband nor I to have opinions in our care. She insulted our intelligence and my professional knowledge as a cardiac nurse of 28 years.. tragically, my husband was seriously ill having been transferred out inappropriately from North Shore University orthopedic hospital. She was extremely rude and incompetent, in caring for my beloved husband. Fortunately, we saw out the nurse practitioner who was outstanding. We returned to Glenbrook Hospital. Got outstanding care never choosing to return to Whitehall. in a great part due tothis doctor. There are no stars that I would give to this doctor, though the review forces too. If you or your family members or loved ones ,choose to live a long healthy life ,do not go to this doctor whatsoever or allow anyone to Protect them

I am never rushed and the doctor takes her time and really listens to everything I have to say. She is always spot on with her diagnoses and the remedy needed to overcome any problem that I have. She is not quick to medicate when it's not needed but will provide an RX if that's the correct route. I highly recommend her and have done so to many friends who are also very happy with their level of care.

I was in pain and had bunch of other things that needed attention. She was one of the doctor in my insurance list.She heard everything from me and all of sudden for no reason started yelling at me.I felt like leaving the office right then. She lacks bedside manners, is very arrogant, rude in behavior and carry great pride in her diagnosis, which she did none. She gave me a feeling that she is doing a big favor on me by hearing me. I came in pain and left with a heavy pain and more depressed.She didn't give any medication nor any plan of treatment. Please save your time and do not visit this doctor.She really needs some help and psychopath treatment for sure.

I highly recommend Dr. Goel. She can be a little bit scolding on occasion as noted when she does not understand a circumstance. I have seen this, but also, she is always responsive. She will not hesitate to contact a specialist to request a faster appointment or more aggressive treatment on your behalf. She is thorough, she researches your conditions, and she will call you in the evening. If you are not fond of instruction or are not going to keep appointment, I would not use her. If you have complicated issues and you need a champion to assist you, Dr. Goel is the right person, and other specialists respect her.

Do not see this doctor

Dr.Goel is a skilled doctor but she can be condescending, short-tempered and have poor bedside manner. On one recent occasion, I contacted her because I had acute pain in my shoulder. She told me that she couldn't do anything for me or make self care recommendations. She treated me like a nuisance and was curt. When I told her this was innappropriate tone and attitude, she said, "thanks for the therapy session". I can not recommend her. She will not give you the time and attention you deserve

Dr. Goel was rude, defensive and non-compassionate. I told her my symptoms and she asked me why I was seeing her and not my allergist. She gave a quick and not thorough exam. She didn't explain to me what she thought was wrong even when I asked and was quick to prescribe something. When I asked what the medication would do she said I was refusing the medication. I do have a right to inquire about my treatment. I ended up getting up and walking out of the exam room. I will never see her again!

I was in a rehab center, she was the Doctor working on my case. Dr. Goel came in to talk with me. sometime during our meeting I had an anxiety attack (something that has never happened to me before) where i did the universal sign of choking (two hands on throat) because I couldn't breathe. she did nothing, she just stood there. I finally pushed the nurse button and Dr. Goel left the room. I asked for her to be removed from my case.
