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.

I experienced the same issue as another reviewer. I did not experience the dislocation . But I did experience the " poor placement " which means the poor judgement in selecting the hip joint Offset . Which causes the glutes in that leg to not fire . The Glutes are to walking , as the tongue is to talking. After many years of pain, and eventually unable to walk for ten months. Recently found a surgeon ,who made the offset correction. After 6 weeks this cured the 1/2""structurally shortened leg and incredibly corrected the muscular shortening on the same side., for a total of 1.5 inches . This sould never happen , dont let it happen to you. There are many excellent surgeons, and some not so excellent. Warning , be very careful in selecting your surgeon. Also ask your doctor , are you doing the actual surgery, or someone else.

Dr. Goldstein performed a total hip replacement on me 23 years ago. I was in terrible pain prior to surgery and have had no pain or problems since my surgery. Unfortunately, now I am having problems with both of my knees and I will certainly be making an appointment to see him again. The wait time is long in the office, but his confidence in what he is doing is worth every minute of waiting.

I have had both of my hips done by this wonderful doctor with no problems. He was professional and friendly. There were alot of things to be conscious of right after surgery but by paying attention to them everything healed as it should. I like that he has his own dedicated surgical staff too. This man made my life active and pain free!

Surgery with Dr. Goldstein was the worst thing that happened to me in my life. My hip dislocated 4 times afterwards, and he blamed me and my physical therapist. The reality was that not only did he make one leg shorter than the other, he placed the hip incorrectly so that my glutes no longer could function correctly and that the hip was also was unstable (therefore would dislocate). His arrogance and lack of concern still leaves me in shock. Go anywhere else but to see him.
