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 give Dr. Goldstone 5 Stars but the office without him has become rather insular not to say catty.

Beware
I had a surgery 20 years ago with Dr. Goldstein, where he lasered off a lot of the inside of my anus, and it has been a very difficult recovery since. It was allegedly an incredibly aggressive approach and to this day I still have a lot of pain. So make sure you get a second opinion because you could have long lasting consequences.

If I could leave zero stars, I would. Goldstone injured me in a surgery and it required 5 corrective procedures with another doctor to get me back to almost normal. (Yes, you heard that correctly. I had to go through 5 more surgeries to correct the damage he had caused.) He IS knowledgeable but his skill as a surgeon is remedial. I was told by several other doctors that Goldstone's surgical work on my body was unreasonably severe AND unnecessary. Stay far far far away. I can't begin to describe how damaged and traumatized I was by my experience with him.

The worse doctor ever! he does not follow up with patient. I tried to get hold of him with emails a few times, but he did not respond back, and finally he related message through his secretary. If you prove him that he was wrong in diagnosing your illness, he’ll get angry, and won't return your call, or won’t try to help you again.

Nothing good can be said here. He's knowledgable, of course, but he's rude, impersonal, and seemingly short with the patients

Dr. Goldtone and his staff are extremely competent in their areas of practice. From Reception, to insurance billing , doctor care and surgeons- all are friendly and patient. Jonathan Baker, the PA is an exceptionally good healthcare provider. I never had any post operative complications and a last minute appointment or change is always granted.
