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.

DISGUSTING DR! Absolutely awful
Dr. Golding bed side manner is just bad. Not understanding of the pt nor does he listen. He also never once washed his hands. 100% will never go back.

Outstanding staff!
Dr Goldin is very compassionate and helps keep you anxiety level under control. April and Kansas go BEYOND their job duties to help the patient. They have even called my family doctor to get information about a different consult he has ordered for me. I feel very fortunate to have such a great staff to take care of me.

I had occasion to be examined and evaluated by Dr. Norman Goldin due to an illness and discomfort I was experiencing. Once Dr. Norman Goldin performed an examination, he advised me of his diagnosis and established a treatment plan for me. The diagnosis made by Dr. Norman Goldin proved helpful and has provided me with notable relief.

Stop! If you care about your health, do not go to this Doctor. Many, many years ago he was good and often recommended. You deserve better treatment.

Dr. Goldin and his staff have been extremely concerned and helpful to me. I just started seeing him this summer and he has already called me three time personally to give me results of an ultrasound and lab work, to answer my questions about a reaction to a medicine and called this morning to check on me after having gallbladder surgery yesterday. Each time I have called his office and left messages, Taylor or one of the nurses have returned my calls in a very timely manner. They act like I am there only concern and seem very sincere. I just wish I could have this same experience with other doctors' offices. I highly recommend his office.

I was referred by my ENT for evaluation for GERD and difficulty with swallowing. My initial visit was for evaluation and treatment planning. Dr. Goldin was professional,pleasant, compassionate and knowledgeable. He communicated on my level of understanding and listened to my questions and concerns. My next appointment was for endoscopy using IV sedation in office. The auxiliary staff were excellent in terms of professionalism, patient interaction, skill level and compassion towards patients.

I love Dr. Norman Goldin. He cares about me as a person and as his patient. He has a heartwarming bedside manner. Dr. Goldin explains the treatment, medications and what he is hoping to achieve for me. He encourages me and has admitted to me that my current treatment is "trial and effort". And this is ok with me because I know Dr. Goldin is searching for an answer to my current health problems. Had problem w/ Office Manager sending me an illegal collection letter on a bill that was already paid

If I could give zero stars I would. Despite the friendliness of the front staff and nurses, I was seen by doctor goldin and felt rushed and unheard. He did not take time to read the nurses notes describing the symptoms I was having and did not take time to look at my chart. I constantly told him what i was feeling and he basically ignored me. I am currently still in pain and looking for another GI specialist. I would not recommend this doctor.

Yes I have been with Dr. Goldin since April of 1993. I highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of his services. Dr. Goldin played a Hugh roll in saving my life. He never gave up even though most were sure that I would likely not make it. He has been by my side since. So if your looking for the best possible Dr. that you can get , go see him. All of the Physicians in the practice have been fantastic also however Dr. Goldin will always be my favorite not only as my doctor but also my frien
