This doctor had the audacity to write that I became agitated when he mentioned pain medication! That is so far from the truth. I was definitely agitated because I was left in a room for over one hour, he comes in after I went to ask a nurse where he was. Talks to me about constipation and not about my bladder prolapse. He talks then leaves once again, had me waiting for another 20 minutes and I left. Why would you bring up pain meds in my chart writing that was the reason I was upset. You are a liar with no bedside manner who asked me if I stick my finger up my butt to have a bowel movement. I found that to be embarrassing. You NEVER addressed my problem. How dare you!!!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS NUT JOB BECAUSE HE IS NOTHING BUT LIES. TELL THE TRUTH!!!! BTW, I'm the one that told him what medicine I was on, so I guess he LABELED me. He should have gone what I went through with 5 back surgeries. I will not stop until he revised mhis notes. Tell the truth, you had me waiting for almost 2 hour and I have proof, because a friend of my was in the waiting room when I walked out. Yes, I did ask the receptionist for my check bad and told her the doctor is a f....nut job. I got there 1:15pm was taken right in to a room and walked out a 3:30 with yet no physical exam. Anyone in their right mind would've left and found another doctor.

I waited a long time before leaving a negative review to make sure it wasn't the hormones talking. It has been over a year and I have to tell you that this office has the most unprofessional workers there. HIPAA regulations are supposed to protect your privacy and this concept is clearly lost among his employees. During check in and check out I have heard the most intimate of details about other people's health history. The employees do not care.
Dr. Goldman clearly does not care either. Employees complain about each other right in front of patients. On my very first mammogram, two lumps were found. He told me to go talk to a surgeon - wouldn't even talk to me about it - or even make an appointment. Would not even refer me to a surgeon, was a complete jerk. I will NEVER forget how scared I was and how uncompassionate he was. Never went back. Don't be fooled by his friendly, caring first impression, when something important happens like a breast lump or needed surgery - you will regret choosing him.

Very Arrogant and condescending attitude. He should not be taking care of women. All he cares cares about is your $ and demeaning you. Steer clear of this male-chauvinist.

Rude chauvinist. Tries to put fear into the minds of women if they show a strong desire to deliver vaginally or without meds. VERY high C-section rate; not a fan of natural birth. SAYS he will do a water birth, but will not. Everyone I know who has used him has ended up with a c-section. I was very informed, hired a doula, and always requested the midwives over him (MWs don't seem to like him either) so I was lucky to deliver vaginally. Trying again soon for another baby and will not go anywhere near this practice! Don't even bother! Yes, they have a fancy office, but unless you want unnecessary surgery, steer clear! AND he started talking about c-sections with me when I was only 20 weeks pregnant bc baby was "too big!" Umm, delivered my 9.0 baby naturally with only 2 stitches thank you very much!

I have seen 3 different OB's for my kids and he was by far the nicest one. He never seemed rushed and never left the room before I assured him I had no questions. He is soft spoken and just very friendly. I went into labor at 11pm on a Saturday and he was at the hospital shortly after we got there. I ended up rupturing my uterus while I was pushing and he got my daughter out in just a few minutes, keeping us both perfectly healthy. We both owe alot to this wonderful doctor. I highly recommend him!

Not helpful at all. I went in to ask about my pregnancy-related depression and the first thing he asked me was "Don't you have a doctor for that?". I thought he was a doctor?? After that day, he referred me to the other doctors in his practice. I guess he didn't want to deal with something he supposedly has experience with.

I recently used this office for my first pregnancy. The staff was never on the same page about my care. I went into pre-term labor and he couldn't even take the time to stop by the hospital to check me out. The hospital staff ran many tests and administered drugs to stop the contractions. They stated that he would fully go over restrictions/tests/events during my next appointment(which was in the next couple of days)but when I went to the office NO ONE knew that I had been in the hospital. When they went to look up the info in my file...it wasn't listed!! Another staff member told me "well obviously you're alright, otherwise they wouldn't have let you leave the hospital." This is not the explaination or type of care that I expected.
