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 was very impressed. Wait time was a bit long.The
The locations was easy to get to. Staff was ok. Talked too much about outside activities. Patients didn’t need to hear those conversations.

Excellent visit. She was the fifth doctor I've seen trying to solve my vision problems, and the first to give me any hope. Spent a long time reading everything I brought her and asking pertinent questions. She set up a plan, and explained everything. Office staff was also very helpful and friendly. Wait time was quite long, but worth it to me.

Was referred to Dr. Goldstein for a consult on cataract surgery. I had a lot of anxiety about this surgery and shared that with the nurse or assistant we spoke with first. This was relayed to the doctor. When she came in, she was immediately combative and not at all reassuring. She did not explain the condition or options and when we asked questions, she was short and rude with her responses. I will never go through with surgery if I don't feel respected or comforted by the surgeon. Worst bedside manner I've ever seen. I will find another doctor that I feel more comfortable with, one that listens, explains, and reassures.

When I had a bout of optic neuritis due to my MS, she was amazing in treating me and was very concerned for my well being. She is friendly and very thorough.
