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.

Dr. Goldman has been my primary care physician for 10+ years, beginning when he was in a group practice. I then enthusiastically joined him when he opened his concierge practice, Wayland Personal Physicians. Two years ago my husband also joined the practice, with a number of serious health issues. Dr. Goldman is guiding us through these challenges by not only providing expert direct care, but also by coordinating with specialists on our care team. Dr. Goldman approaches all aspects of our care with compassion. He is very easy to talk to, and takes the time to listen. Our appointments sometimes last an hour. He is indeed available 24/7 and very responsive by phone and through an online patient portal. We have been able to get same-day appointments and have never waited more than 5 minutes to be seen. I am grateful to be able to put my trust in Dr. Goldman and highly recommend him and his congenial staff. This practice embodies what primary care should be. Marcy R

I recently switched from Mass. General to Dr. Goldman at WPP. Although my doctors at MGH were all competent, they were hampered by the MGH bureaucracy and tended to make decisions based on public policy rather than what was good for me individually. My first physical by Dr. Goldman was more than an hour vs. the 10-15 minute MGH standard. Personally, Dr. Goldman is highly competent and thorough, immediately available, and easy to talk to. As is the staff. I highly recommend them. E. Miller

I have a very complicated medical situation that requires a great deal of coordination with other doctors, hospitals and experts. Having Dr. Goldman as a PCP is lifesaving. Whenever I see a specialist, they ask me: "How did you get him?!" because of his stellar reputation Clearly a reputation well-earned. he is always available in an emergency andf easily accessible on a daily basis. He advocates for services that I need and comes up with creative solutions to institutional obstacles. The best!

Dr. Goldman has been my primary care provider for more than seven years. He has been the best doctor I have ever worked with. We followed him through three practices. He takes the time to learn all he can about our medical conditions and treats the entire person. He has a great bed-side manner. He enlists his patients to help in their own care to whatever extent they are capable. This makes following his advice very easy.

Dr. Frederic Goldman has a calm demeanor and is friendly, knowledgeable and sympathetic. He genuinely cares about his patients and takes the time to discuss your medical issues and/or concerns. His medical and office staff are extremely personable. If you need to see Dr. Goldman on the same day that you call, they'll do everything possible to get you an appointment that day. You won’t find a more dedicated doctor anywhere.

I have been a patient of Dr. Goldman for nearly 12 years. In that time has guided me through a number of issues with a caring and compassionate manner. His diagnoses, referrals and follow up are first rate. Dr. Goldman has succeeded in getting me focused on maintaining and improving my health. These are just some of the reasons I will continue as his patient and recommend him to others.
