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.

Efficient service
For more than 15 years Dr. Goldstein has been my doctor and he has provided me an excellent service.

5 colonoscopies by Dr Goldstein over past 20 years. He has my complete trust as a practitioner, and is very empathetic with the patient. Answers every question and concern with good humor and patience.

I will give Dr. Goldstein 5 more stars. He is compassionate, highly skilled and a wonderful personality as well. The entire staff was fabulous. The Surgical Center in Mclean is the finest in the area. Precision teamwork and very kind.

Wife had a colonoscopy 4 weeks ago, prescribed an enema steroid, it was ineffective and wife felt worse and developed lesions a week ago, called and asked for him to call back- a week goes by and a nurse calls to say- oh I’ll let him know. Wife develops fever and has to check into ER last night- they admit her and here we sit. When wife called to let them know she was in hospital the nurse said ok we’ll cancel your follow up appointment. Still never asked if it was related to GI. This is the worst Dr I’ve come across in years. Even patient first who sent us to ER has called to check on her. Dr. Goldstien- no one has called or even inquired about her from his office.

Blackburn family – Aug 19, 2020

Dr. Goldstein’s office is one of the most helpful professional offices I have ever been in. Recently my mother- in-law was diagnosed with colon cancer at Inova Fairfax Hospital during an ER visit, where she had surgery very quickly to remove the mass, and treatment. It was devastating for our family. We met Dr. Goldstein for follow up and continuation of care. We were very anxious, but are so grateful to have met Dr. Goldstein. He is very caring, calming, has a conservative approach to care, and made us feel like he listened to our concerns. We recommend Dr. Goldstein’s office because we would like patient’s to feel as welcome and confident in the care they receive as we do. Good news: my mother-in-law’s most recent colonoscopy confirmed she is colon cancer free.

Dr. Goldstein is a wonderful, kind, brilliant doctor. No wonder he is always named in the Washingtonian. His office is great and extremely kind. His partner's Dr. Prosky and Vemana have helped my family with their stomach issues. Don't waste your time with those larger groups that give you horrible customer service.
