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.

Remembering: Dr Goldberger is a great surgeon breast - no dimpling barely noticeable. Sentinel node scar healed beautifully and was a determining factor in pathology report - no cancer! 2010 amp

He saved my life i had a toxic Calcium level ended in the hospital and his office was able to accommodate me to surgery.Even though he had a busy surgery schedule.He was very attentive with my post surgical care his office did follow up calls and he even gave me his personal number on the event I ever had a problem .Every patient is different some are less tolerable than other but at the end he has years of experience in this town doing just thyroids and parathyroid surgery.Highly recommend

One of the rudest doctors I have ever met. Kept me waiting almost 2 hours, he walks in and doesn't even apologize and doesn't bother to introduce himself. Plus I had a very poor outcome when he removed my thyroid. Depending on what the surgery is I would not recommend him.

Dr Goldberger is a highly skilled surgeon who listens to Pt. complaints and does everything possible to provide post op comfort. He is respectful of pt concerns regarding quality of life issues. My post op experience was amazing as I had no pain after surgery for breast cancer. I maintained the mobility in my arm as I followed his post op directions.
