Dr. Steven Goldfarb, MD

BEWARE Ladies with DV PTSD- AVOID THIS MD AT ALL COSTS. He didn’t listen to a single issue I told him, talked over me, used demeaning & condescending tone, raised his voice at me, and caused me even more pain and damage. This arrogant man thought he could ‘fix’ my back-pelvis pain by violently jerking my feet together, while I have a leg length discrepancy based in my pelvis. My spine and pelvis were being misaligned and twisting, while I was crying on the exam table. Eventually got the solid results that my issues aren’t surgical(via genetic testing from new PCP), and the ONLY ‘decent thing’ he did was violently throw his hands up & screech “I can’t help you! Go to Pain Management!” and stormed out. Absolute garbage way to treat vulnerable patients. No bedside manners. Quick to anger and outbursts. Triggered my ptsd. If you’re okay with possibly experiencing his behavior, by all means, schedule that appointment.

I went to him in pain in my hip from tripping. I have a replacement from a different doctor. They took x- rays and he walked in the exam room and said your hip is fine but you have a bad back, turned around and walked out. On his way out he said if it isn’t better in a month come back. I am still in a lot of pain from my waist down but he never asked me about it. I can’t even tell you what he looks like because he never looked up. Horrible experience

Beware! Do Not make an appointment or schedule surgery with him. His medical license should be taken. He did a partial shoulder replacement on me. I'm scheduling another surgery for my shoulder. Goldberg's mess has to be removed and a total replacement done. I was told a partial replacement should never be done. This is from a reputable source. This man is RUDE! Please stay away from this so called surgeon.

I was reluctant to schedule an appointment after seeing the negative reviews, however, I was in the market for a competent knee surgeon not a new best friend. Dr. Goldfarb exceeded my expectations. I wanted to discuss a knee replacement, he was attentive, concerned, informative and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend him..

Was next to rude in his consultation and lacked any compassion or warmth. I would never see him again and definitely NEVER recommend him to anyone!!

Saw Dr. Steven Goldfarb about a hip problem. He took x-rays and I did indeed need a hip replacement. He did the surgery and I am very happy with him and his work. He answered all my questions and I had no problems. I would highly recommend him. I am 75 years old and I was up and walking the same day as surgery. At home we have stairs and I had no problem going up and down the stairs.

I will say ..as the comments indicate he is not a “warm and fuzzy”type however I will say I went to his office in March and he quickly diagnosed a very serious infection in my hip from a hip replacement that was performed 13 years prior .He performed emergency surgery the next day and replaced the femoral ball .His quick actions perhaps saved my life .No we will never go for beers or exchange recipes however he gets it done.He will tell you things you don’t want to hear.but that’s his job .

Very rude, likes to hear himself talk more than he does listening.

He needs a dose of bed-side manners. There are ways to say things to people without belittling them and making them feel like crap on the bottom of your shoe. I've never been talked to so rudely in my life. He just said he's blunt, well I guess so! When you are overweight, you know it. I did not need to be humiliated and told again and again that my size is my whole issue. It is not! However, you had no interest in anything I had to say and talked over me constantly. Please be wary if you are a "large" person, and find someone else to see. The xray lady was amazing and his nurse was nice too. They get much higher star ratings!

Awful. Goldfarb does not listen at all. Constantly talks over patients, has little personal skills and does not seem to understand that listening is a critical and key component to diagnostics. Seems to prefer washing his hands of issues instead of solving them. My husband has had pain from surgery for many months longer than he should after surgery and is regressing. Goldfarb does not care. Just wants to be done with him. I would never recommend him. Horrible.

Dr. GOLDFARB is VERY caring & concerned about his patients health. He is excellent & anyone who becomes one of his patients should feel rest assured they are in good hands.

He was absolutely rude as soon as he walked in the door. He didn’t even let me tell him what was wrong or why I was there. He told me that there was nothing wrong and there’s nothing he can do. And that the other doctors Had no idea what they were talking about. I do not recommend him at all

Bad surgery. Left my wife a cripple for life. More than one inch longer leg during hip replacement. Ignored pre diagnosis of leg clot resulting of near death. Disclaimed any responsibility over and over again. Stay away!!

Listen Goldfarb haters. This doctor may not have a good bedside manner but he knows his stuff. You may think he is rude and cocky-but this guy knows his stuff. He is confident and yes caring. He came in on his scheduled off holiday weekend to do my surgery. I dont know about you but he is the man I want doing my knees. I can take his personality issues for the short time I'm with him. Bottom line... Goldfarb is the man. I wouldn't have anyone else.

Reviews are correct, no bedside manner, talks down to you, in a hurry, very dismissive, I will not go back!!!!

A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME SEEING GOLDFARB. I am a senior citizen with serious hip pain. His answer, get an Ultra Sound guided cortisone shot. He couldn’t give me the shot. Was very abrupt & insulting. Left the office with a three week appointmet for the shot ( 1st available). Definitely feel worse than when I went because I got no real answers or help. No explanation about my x-ray - nothing. Never see him again. Am so sorry I chose this Doctor

His bedside manner is horrible. He ignores your questions is dismissive of your concerns. He talks at you not to you and will excuse all of it by saying he is "blunt." He is rude. A doctor should answer your questions not dismiss them. Will be getting a second opinion and will not be going back to him!!! Also I had to give a 1 star it wouldn't let me leave it blank, but I would actually give him a 0!

I have recommended him to others. Dr. Goldfarb was knowledgeable, caring, direct, thorough and helpful in all aspects of his care - from pre-op to op to post-op; we thought he was great.

Whilst visiting the Mason Trihealth Sports Med in regards to other issues, I scheduled an appointment on 1/4/19 with Goldfarb on my way out. The total time he spent with me was five mins. Diagnosis? Either a torn Meniscus or a partial tare to my MCL. After him talking me out of an MRI, his response to a work note was, "Lebron James tore his and played the entire second half..." Lebron also has thousands to pump steroids and painkillers. I won't speak of how you personally ref yourself...

I had a knee replacement on Halloween 2016. The visiting nurse thought I had an infection so suggested to call him. I did and he was not accessible. The visiting nurse said go to ER. They admitted me and when Goldfarb came back in town he kind of took it out on me since it wasn’t infection according to him I should never have been there. Other than feeling like he took that out on me, I would recommend him for sure. Just expect him to be straightforward
