I went through physical therapy and injections. I was obviously intimidated by surgery but my doctor told me that Dr. Goldstein's patients had great results. I had minimally invasive surgery and was back to work in a few days and had no pain. I cannot tell you how happy I am.

Dr. Goldstein did a 2 level artificial disc replacement in my neck. No more pain! I went one the same day and back to work in a few days. His office and NYU were
also great.

Waited three hours He saw me for five minutes. Surgery was three hours late. He spoke to me for
five minutes. Post surgical visit was one month later spoke to me for 5 minutes. I am not exaggerating these times. Did not tell me who would remove my surgical dressings or how post op would go.
Most importantly he botched the kyphoplastly he performed. For nine months afterward I could only sit up for an hour at a time. He only put glue on the sides NOT IN THE MIDDLE. I finally found a reputable doctor who diagnosed the problem and redid the kyphoplasty. The next day I was able to sit up again normally.
THere is no excuse for his lack of communication and more importantly his inability to correctly perform a simple one hour out patient procedure.
DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR.

I flew to New York to have surgery with Dr. Goldstein and flew back to Europe pain free. I completely understand why he has an international following.

My doctor sent me to Dr. Goldstein. I went through physical therapy and had injections. I was obviously intimidated by surgery but Dr. Goldstein made me feel safe and secure. He was very compassionate. I had minimally invasive surgery and went back to work in a few days...PAIN FREE!

I had a microdiscectomy and went from living in chronic pain to zero pain. Also, I was in and out in a matter of hours. The followup with Dr. Goldstein and his staff has been overwhelmingly great. Thank you so much.
