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 will never return to this Dr., nor the one that referred me to him. Like one stated, he has changed. I was referred to him for weight loss. He was pushing pills and protein bar product. He said that "Happy pills" would help. I told him I did not need "Happy pills" and wanted to lose weight in a natural and healthy manner. Further, the pills would not have been good for my health with pre-existing conditions. Keeping a food diary was the only helpful suggestion I found. He checked my ears, nothing else. The office also wanted payment up front since they said many patients cancel. I had to call to get part of the payment returned after insurance paid. They also had no bathroom handicap bars, which I found odd. Sadly, he was the closest thing to a Dr. in practice for the money, and not for the benefit of patients that I've found. Beware,

As a patient, in my honest humble opinion, I feel Dr. Stephen F Gold, Dr. David Silverstein, nursing staff, office management they're the best family practice in Lancaster, central Pennsylvania compared to other family medical practices in Lancaster, Hershey Medical Center too. Dr Gold truly cares about myself his patients, actually listens to all questions & concerns that I may have. I kinda feel like family. Highly recommend Dr Gold, Dr. David Silverstein!

Patient of Dr Gold in PA – Oct 16, 2018

Dr Gold changed :/(. One time he was concerned with helping his patients now drug testing his patients despite their poor health comes before helping them with choosing a new depression medicine they can tolerate along with a social security claim his patients NEEDS for life or death. If you take opiates your assumed to be a drug addict. I've been going here 36 visits and suddenly get drug tested? Patients have feelings too :/(

Takes the time to listen to you and has a positive attitude. He's what old time doctors used to be, and has a great personality to boot. Five stars.
