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.

Watch out for upcharges
I came in with plantar fasciitis. The doctor charged me $330 for laser treatments he said was not covered by Medicare and then $560 for orthotics. Also $50 for a jar of “medical food” pills. Total rip off. Plus his offices keep all the doors open and you have no privacy. Go elsewhere.

Waste of Time and Money
I have been seeing Dr. Goldbaum for nine months for a very common foot ailment, and despite spending a lot of $$$ on co-payments, treatments, orthotics, and other things not covered by my insurance, I am no better off today than when I first began with Dr. Goldbaum. Dr. Goldbaum is very personable, and he seems to be competent, and his office is very well appointed. However, the staff seems very disorganized, and there is constant turnover, and it always seems like its someone's first day on the job (as in they do not know how to operate the equipment, or provide treatments). I like Dr. Goldbaum, but he just wasn't able to help me. And the last straw for me was that Dr. Goldbaum's staff constantly gets the billing messed up and I need to spend a lot of time on the phone with my insurance getting the billing straightened out. I am now looking for another foot & ankle specialist.

A really nice person !!
This review is to Dr. Ian Goldbaum’s character. Our 15 year old grandson was struggling with a tie down device on a hot airport tarmac . Dr Goldblaum noticed Jameson struggling and came over to help. He stayed with Us until he freed all 3 devises. We were complete strangers, yet Dr G Took out his tools, rolled up his sleeves and helped us. This kind of behavior speaks volumes to character!! At our first sign of foot discomfort we will become patients. Thank you again Dr G for your help , kindness and enthusiasm towards strangers.

I broke my toe- the big one.. I did it Friday night.. the pain was horrific.. I call Dr. Goldbaum who knowing I am immune compromised (on dialysis) did not want me to go to an emergency room or other clinic and be exposed to COVID.. so.. the man was kind enough to open his office Saturday Morning at 8am and treat my busted toe. I was in horrid pain so bad I could not think. He examined me, injected my toe with some concoction, splinted it, gave it cold laser therapy and put it in a boot. By that night the pain relief was dramatic, by Sunday morning it was 70% better (meaning less pain). He followed up with me on Monday and got me into his office at 7:30am before any other patients arrived- he was very careful to not allow me to be exposed to COVID .. I was out of his office by 8:15- cold laser treatment, xray and all.. Dr. Goldbaum is a gdsend.. the best that has ever been..

Terrible Doctor, only interested in the Money!! Self-verified patient of Dr. Ian S Goldbaum - Posted on February 1st, 2020 As you’ve probably read in some other reviews. This doctor loves to give injection after injection after injection. Being a type 1 diabetic these steroid injections blew my blood sugars into the 300 to 400s, for a week to 10 days after each injection. Yet this doctor wanted to continue. I spoke to my Endocronoligist and he said to stay away from this guy and find yourself a Real doctor. Only interested in extended treatment, not curing your problem.

Went in scared of pain. I left after a painless procedure with great care given to my numbing shots. He was reassuring and explained everything in detail. So far, so good! I will go back in 11 days for follow up and at that time, discuss treatment on my other foot.

From the moment I stepped in the office I was impressed. Staff was so friendly, office was clean and bright. Dr. Goldbaum was friendly and I felt like I've been seeing him for years instead of it being my first visit. He explained to me my foot problem and what the best treatment would be. I left the office feeling good and confident in him

I've been seeing Dr. Goldbaum for several years, especially after my diabetes diagnosis last year. He's a very good doctor and has been helping me manage the effect that the condition has been having on my feet. His bedside manner is impeccable and he's always eager to chat, which is very comforting.

Dr. Goldbaum and his staff are excellent! After dealing with plantar fasciitis for several months, I finally decided to seek treatment and found Delray Beach Podiatry online. After only a few laser treatments my pain was 90% better and has continued to improve in the weeks since my visit.

There's no question that Dr. Goldbaum has by far the most tools to treat patients. I went to Delray Beach Podiatry seeking help for nagging foot pain that he was able to treat first with cold laser therapy and then with stem cells, which made the problem go from 90% better to 100%! The office and staff were pleasant and my wait time was minimal. I would highly recommend Dr. Goldbaum to my friends and family.
