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 got a mysterious letter claiming that I needed to reschedule my appointment on blank (seriously, it was just a blank) a while ago, and have been trying to contact this office. Either their phone system is down or Dr. Goldhaber is no longer in business.

Cold, dismissive and accuses patients of faking
Dr. Goldhaber's demeanor was consistently cold and dismissive. Despite my initial concerns, I gave her the benefit of the doubt. However, encountering anomalies such as my ethnicity being changed on paperwork and clear bias towards a past mental health diagnosis, I should’ve run.Upon examination, Dr. Goldhaber's notes reflected skepticism towards my symptoms, despite my efforts to provide real life examples of my ongoing struggles along with imaging and documentation. She would say that I had “give way” motion and was “deliberate” and faking weakness. I lost everything including my job.Diagnosed with multiple conditions, including (untreated and disregarded) NPH, radiculopathy, and POTS, I received minimal monitoring and primarily symptom-focused treatment.The tipping point came when my concerns were once again dismissed following a visit to the ER, and further testing was refused, with mental health suggested as the cause of my vision loss and other cognitive struggles.

I'm sure he is or could be a great Doctor problem being his staff does not return calls I recently had a stroke my wife called at least five times and never received a call back even though his recordings assure a call back by days end I ended up at another neurologist within a few days.

Highly recommend Dr. Goldhaber
Dr. Goldhaber is the best in her class. She really knows her stuff and gave me good advice. She also was very caring and tolerated my reluctance to have MRI tests with contrast. She has tried some meds and up the dose and it worked! With any diagnosis, she is very careful and has helped me with advice and meds and I look forward to seeing her with our yearly appointment. I have found several herbs and meds that worked great and she has prescribed meds that help me sleep and get through the day. I had spinal surgery, so that could have created problems. Dr. Goldhaber has seen it all. She is there for you. There are Neurologists that are not caring. I know because I went to one. So I am so glad to have Dr. Goldhaber that is very sensitive and caring. I highly recommend her. If you communicate your problem well, Dr. Goldhaber can come up with some solutions.

I highly recommend Dr. Goldhaber
I have been a patient of Dr. Goldhaber for several years. She has always been professional and pleasant. Her examination is always thorough and she is helpful in explaining what is happening in my body. I always feel that she has my back when it has to do with my treatment.

I have been seeing her since 2013 when she diagnosed me with PPMS. I agree with the others, she has an extremely cold personality. She can also be rather nasty such as telling me I could end up in a nursing home unless I take more poison. Tried 2 including ocrevus which made me very sick. I lost my husband last year, and she was especially nasty to me this week. No empathy at all. Will not go back to such an uncaring doctor.

Dr. Goldhaber is the coldest person I've ever met in my life. I was in the hospital with a paralyzed leg and I had an MRI.. Since it was one lesion, she was going to give up and just discharge me! She already got her money so she doesn't care. I then had to ask her isn't there other tests to be done like a spinal tap that could show more and she's like well yeah.. so we got back results that I had a lot of inflammation in my CSF. She told me nothing about that and just said to get a 2nd opinion.
