Dr Goshko was my intake physician at SHCH this week. He is professional, knowledgeable and very open to questions. Unfortunately, the residents (newbies) need a lot more training and can't prescribe the right drugs to match the problem. Two pharmacy gentlemen turned my life around for the better.

This “doctor” has sooo many bad reviews and I wish I would have read them before seeing him two days ago. He was beyond ignorant and nobody was right but him. I was in a sledding accident and was having speech delay and really bad shakes. He basically told me it was all in my head and to go home. Piece of sh*t doctor!! We will be going after him to make sure he never works as a doctor again!! I ended up at rockyview where I was properly diagnosis with a concussion and got the proper referrals in place. The amount of people on here stating how bad of a doctor he is, I’m surprised he still has a job!!i made a post about him and it went viral and people from the 80s commented and stated they worked with him then a dare surprised he’s still practicing. Biggest loser of a doctor I have ever Met! Go work at McDonald’s and let the real doctors see people you racists @ss

Very Racists doctor depends on the color of your skin to the care he decided to give. Assuming you are there for narcotics only talks over you and will refuses tests needed to find out what the issue may be. Very un- professional manner I only selected one star because you can not give review with out it.

I have never been treated so poorly in my life. Saw this doctor at south health campus emergency room where I went after suffering from extreme abdominal pain for several days. He told me he was not going to help me, suggested I was there for pills when I flat out told him I just wanted to know what was wrong and sent me home unhelped, still in pain. Thankfully a few days later the pain subsided. Though I spent 4 days in agonizing pain, laying on my bed in tears from the severity of the pain. It's one of the worst feelings in the world to be in that kind of pain and know that you already went for help and got denied help. So you just lay there scared and in pain, knowing your last resort, which was going to the hospital was useless. I hope one day someone treats him that way. The hospital should be a place where you can go for help and feel cared for, not leave without any help and feeling demeaned and insulted among other things. Thanks to this experience, I recently suffered a severe infection where I should've gotten help sooner than I did and the infection spread throughout my body. I didn't go get help as quickly as I should've because I didn't want to go and get treated horribly and sent home without any help. When patients are scared to go to the hospital because doctors treat them so poorly, there is a big problem.

Dr. Goshko is such a caring MD! He listened to me, and was very professional and knew what he was talking about. I wish every doctor could be like him!

He is now located in Calgary Alberta at South Health Emergency. He is quick to voice his opinion without really listening to the reasons you came into the ER. My family doctor had told me to go there as she was worried why I'm still in pain awhile after my surgery. He did not treat me well. Multiple times he aggressively told me he will not give me narcotics for my pain, telling me people abuse the drugs and crush them up. It was like he pinned me as an addict. At the end he told some BS reason of why he thinks I'm in pain and every question I asked him he backed up closer to the door as if he was trying to get away. I have never had a doctor treat me this way and don't think he should be in practice. He is a bully and all the reviews below resignate with my experience. I had to go back to the ER the next day because my condition worsened.

This doctor is Terrible. Has no bedside manor at all. Was rude and said insulting things. Didn't care enough to do any tests. Horrible. Doubt he could diagnose or fix a broken finger nail. Have never met a worse doctor than this. Then when I asked for his full name, I was met with even more rudeness. Not right at all.

This doctor seems to have had trouble making accurate diagnosis. Which isn't completely his fault because medicine is not always accurate, however his lack of empathy and his poor character is not something that I would expect in the medical field.

Worst doctor I've ever had. Didn't care at all about me or the severity of my pain. Wouldn't do anything necessary to find out what was wrong other than an x-ray when I probably need an MRI. Then suggested I'm just a drug addict. Treated me like absolute garbage. This guy should lose his license. He shouldn't be a doctor. Now I'm back at home in extreme pain and feel hopeless and depressed and degraded because of this horrific excuse for a doctor and maybe even a human being.

Very rude male called doctor . He is a waste of my tax money . Did not take my full medical history and the reasons I was at the emergency . He did not listen but kept arguing and refused to treat me . When advising I wanted to know his name to complain to the College of physicians , he became aggressive , refused to provide me his full name and ask the security to remove me from the hospital . The security did not remove me but helped me to reregister . This emergency doctor is an insecure bully . Make sure you request a different doctor the moment you register at the hospital , and complain to his boss , Dr Castilho . He should be fired and go back to his country of origin to keep bullying .
