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.

Doctor Goldberg has saved my life at least twice. He also works with me to make better life choices and often strategies that go beyond or instead of prescriptions. He is a true partner in my well being and I work hard to do my part for my health. Can't recommend him enough.

Could not have been better. Those who left negative feedback were probably the kind of patient that God could not satisfy.

The negative reviews here are all spot on. Dr. Goldberg hasn't a shred of bedside manners. In a prescription mishap that was his fault, he blamed me, left a nasty message on my voicemail saying he was not going to write another one and I'd have to go without until the next month (a medicine with serious withdrawal symptoms if taken off cold turkey), and was generally very unhelpful in solving the problem. I finally had to have the pharmacist call him (because he refused to call them), and then it was solved because his nastiness (and fault) was exposed. He treated me like I was an addict looking for a fix when in fact I was merely physically dependent on a medicine that I was taking as prescribed and expressed concern about a lapse in treatment. For that matter, an addict should never be treated as I was. Stay away unless you're a masochistic.

This is absolutely the worst doctor I've ever seen. His attitude is abysmal. Every visit feels as though your causing him a great inconvenience, his demeanor is very aggressive, and I did not feel safe in his office. I would not visit this office for any reason.

Avoid at all costs. Dr. Goldberg does not care about you and prescribes inappropriately. Prescribed me a drug, only to grossly overdose me to a toxic level---then take me off temporarily, and then later prescribe me the same thing and shrug when I questioned that!! I have no idea the long-term effects the long period of toxic dosage I received (not that he even checked me for that), but you can bet I'm changing doctors asap. This office is a MALPRACTICE lawsuit waiting to happen.

I have been to many doctors in my lifetime and no matter where my life has taken me I have never even come close to the care I receive from Dr. Goldberg’s office. He has saved my life more than once and now his wife, who is in practice with him is providing me with the same care and thoroughness.

Worst Doctor ever, if you want to call him a doctor, doesn't care about his patients or their needs or his staff. I thought I had a heart attack and I'm in my early 30's (thankfully it was depression and anxiety) first thing he accused me of being was a drug seeker, than I became his personal test rat being take and put on different type of meds every few weeks with life effecting side effects. I stopped go

Dr. Goldberg is a mean and terrible man. I have had repeated bad experiences with him, and this last one caused me to decide I will no longer see him. He is always in a rush. He is very rude- he is literally gruff and angry, acting like the patient is wasting his time. he has no diagnostic skills or helping ability. I can get more help from a google search than from him. He was so mean to me when I went in sick last week- making me feel terrible. He also has no good doctoring skills.
