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 have been a patient for a year I called office and needed a refill A staff member called the next day said I had refills I explained I did not my PCP wanted me to see him for a different type of headaches The staff member instructed me to come to his office for an appointment the same day I drove 40 miles one way I got to his office while in the parking lot was called by staff member told that my appointment was cancelled I spoke to office manager asked why I was cancelled her reply was that the computers didn't connect and there was no appointment My reply was that the staff had not connected She said I couldn't talk to her that way office manager said the Dr wasn't going to stop what he was doing manager wanted me to make another appointment for another week in another city just as far away This office is notorious for having staff issues I wouldn't refer this practice to anyone My rating for them would be a number zero

Dr. Goldberg is just awful. I came to him in February, 2023 with a six month history of vertigo and dizziness and he did NO examination of me - did not ask to me to walk (stumble), turn my head up, down, to each side (standard during assessment.) He did not touch me or examine me in any way. He ordered an MRI. I received a copy YESTERDAY because his office would not send it to me. It said I have had an infarction and both carotid arteries and occluded. He never called me about this, did not send me a copy of the report, ordered no follow up. I called the office several times asking for a copy of the MRI. Never came. My husband WENT to his office yesterday and said he wanted my entire record. I did not know about the infarction until yesterday. He should not be practicing medicine. He is a danger to others. I am happy to say that I am seeing a NEW neurologist tomorrow.

Definitely unqualified !! – Feb 16, 2024

The office staff is terrible, horrible, awful.
After waiting 6 months to see Dr. Goldberg, my visit was fine. I liked Dr. Goldberg. The problem is the office staff. It's hard to reach anyone and if you can get a call back they're rude and unpleasant. I had to reschedule an appointment and it's another 5 month wait. I guess that's an indicator that Dr. Goldberg is a good doctor, but I'll probably try to find somewhere else to go.

Dr. Goldberg was a lifesaver for me!
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Goldberg for 20 years. He has done so much for me and improving my life, I could never thank him enough. I will agree with others to say, the front desk doesn’t seem to care much about the patients. I needed something from the Dr and she was putting it in my chart. I told her I just need a second of his time, she was a bit rude to me, so I just waited for him. Seconds later he came in, recognize me, told her to just print out what I needed and I was on my way. Thank you Dr. Goldberg.

Seems like a nice guy, but clearly incompetent and dangerous. Dr. Goldberg misdiagnosed my husband with ALS (!!), but a second - and then third - opinion confirmed it was actually side effects from a cholesterol-lowering medication. We went through a miserable time, but now my husband is absolutely fine. Dr. Goldberg, may God bless your patients.

I started having seizures and was sent to him. He told me “if you lose 50 pounds I guarantee you will never have another problem again”. 6 years later and still have seizures. Oh, and I lost 70 pounds!

I call the office multiple times each week and they never call back. They still can't figure out how to put the correct diagnosis code on my paperwork to get my MRI approved. It's simple, I have a lesion that needs to be monitored every six months to see if it is growing. This has been going on for over a year. If you need medical care, do not go to this doctor.

Dr Goldberg is the blessing I needed. He was understanding and took the time to help find the cause of my migraines ... Even though there is no cure, he has helped manage the pain. Dealing with his office, I've never had to wait more than 10 to 15 mins to be seen. Dr Goldberg is amazing.

The office staff were rude and unprofessional. The signs posted all over the front glass are very unprofessional and tacky. We had 2nd thoughts when we saw all that, however Dr. Goldberg was very nice and explained everything to us.

WARNING! Dr Goldberg fails to return calls. Fails to inform of test results. Absolutely cannot be reached over the weekend even in the case of an emergency. Will include false diagnosis on patient's result reports without explanation.
