I just had rhinoplasty with Dr. Goldberg on November 17th. My septum was deviated, my breathing wasn’t the best, and my whole life I’d been insecure about the way my nose looked. After seeing so many stellar reviews and doing my research, I booked a consultation and the eventual surgery with him.

He’s incredibly knowledgeable at what he does! He’s kind, patient, and understanding. Everything you could ask for in a facial surgeon. All he wants is to give you the results you’re wishing for.

We initially consulted over video (initial consultation is free!), and my pre-op was with an extremely informative nurse. What I love about Dr. Goldberg’s pre-op is that they give you all of your prescription pamphlets, walk you through everything from prep to post, and they never make you feel pressured or insecure. His clinic is so unique in that he offers a pre-op supplement; a powder mix and some pills. This helps a lot with swelling, bruising, and tissue prep and healing.

When I was nearing surgery, I panicked and wanted to meet him before my actual procedure just to have that face-to-face introduction. His kind staff immediately accommodated this and got me a sit down with him. I brought in photos of what I liked and didn’t like in noses, discussed my options, and felt so relieved and sure that I’d made the right decision.

Come my surgery day, and hating medical procedures, he was once again nothing but reassuring and comforting when he saw how frightened I was. I truly felt like he nailed the perfect balance of professional and personable. Then, before I knew it, my surgery was done!

I think his supplements I got at my pre-op appointment, and just how skilled he is at craniofacial and rhinoplasty surgery has made all the difference in my healing. Barely any swelling or bruising! It differs for everyone of course, but I’m confident that his careful and experienced touch were factors in this. He contacted me after I’d gone home and was recovering, once again, being that reassuring voice to tell me that the surgery went just as planned.

It took me 25 years, and a lot of courage, but this has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve done. Dr. Goldberg changed my life, and I’ll be making him and his clinic my primary procedure spot.

I got my cast off today and I can’t believe how wonderfully it turned out! His staff even complimented and were supportive of my results. I hope it continues to heal this well to completion, but Dr. Goldberg has ticked off every possible box when it comes to choosing him as my doctor. Such a genuine and pleasant man, and such a magician at what he does both medically and aesthetically.

Thank you eternally to Dr. Goldberg and his team!

I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Goldberg and the whole experience from beginning to end far exceeded my expectations. I have wanted to have my breasts done for as long as I can remember but was very nervous and wanted to do as much research as possible. After having two babies my breasts were completely gone and I was even more unhappy with them. I finally decided to go through with it and over the moon I chose Dr. Goldberg to be my surgeon. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced and was very patient with me during my consultation. I was able to ask as many questions as needed and he was realistic with my expectations and surgical outcome- which I appreciated. I wanted a natural result and to have it look proportionate to my body frame. I trusted him fully in making his recommendations for the implant size and profile. I am very happy with my results and my scars are very thin and hardly noticeable, you can tell he spent the time and was meticulous while closing my incisions. It was reassuring that he was available at any point after my surgery. Thank you Dr. Goldberg, you changed my life, gave me more confidence and I am beyond grateful!!

I had my facelift done by Dr. Goldberg in July, 2020, but it did not result in ANY improvement. In fact, I now had puffiness under my jaw and chin, and my ear lobes were attached to my neck ('pixie ears'). So I looked worse.
Dr. Goldberg agreed to a revision, which he did in April, 2021. This time, there was some improvement in that my jowls were more lifted. But the skin in the rest of my lower face was as loose and saggy as before. Especially on one side, where there was a very noticeable 'sac' of skin. But Dr. Goldberg would not do anything about it.
So $18,000 and two operations later, my jowls are a little smoother, but that's it. And now I have pixie ears, which I hate.
Is it worth it? Not with this surgeon.

Dr. Cory Goldberg's response
Dear B.M. - I'm sorry that you are dissatisfied. However, your assessment that there was no improvement from your surgery is false. Also, your reporting of the "sac" on one side is a gross exaggeration and indicates a distorted self-image. I try very hard to achieve the results expected by my patients, and to identify patients with unrealistic expectations or distorted self-image whose expectations can't be met such as yourself. A disordered self-image can result in patients seeking repeat revisions and causing overdone and unnatural outcomes. I performed your surgery with due skill and care, and regret that I wasn't able to meet your expectations.

Dr. Goldberg, since the photos that you took before the first procedure were 'lost' from your database, I'm not able to show the evidence of my assessment. But the efore photos that I posted are the ones you took after the first procedure. And in these, it's clear to see all the sagging skin and jowls that should have been lifted in the first procedure. Regarding the 'sac', that is exactly what it is. I don't know what else you could call it. From your comments, it's clear that it is you that needs to re-evaluate the image that you have of your patients. If they are not satisfied with your work, it can only mean that they are silly women with a 'distorted self-image' and 'unrealistic expectations'.

There are NO WORDS to describe the excellence, professionalism and kindness of Dr Goldberg and his team. My 10yr old daughter needed a procedure to remove a mass on her face in a very delicate area. She was extremely extremely nervous about the surgery but Dr Goldberg was unbelievable at consoling her and building her confidence with age appropriate descriptions of what the procedure entailed. I am still honestly speechless at how incredible he was, I have never had such an amazing experience with a doctor and their team. The surgery was ahead of schedule, it went perfectly and afterwards my daughter thanked Dr Goldberg for encouraging her to go through with it. We are SO grateful for his excellent service and can’t recommend him and his wonderful staff enough (especially Simone who was also SO kind and wonderful in our correspondence). Thank you so much for everything!! One billion stars :)

I went to see Dr. Goldberg about a medical issue that was done by another plastic surgeon.
Firstly, his staff are so pleasant and welcoming.
When I saw Dr. Goldberg, he took his time with me and answered all the questions I had. He offered options on what could be done to correct my issue. There was no rush to get me out the door and he really wants to help his patients look and feel their best.
I’ve had one procedure done and he did a wonderful job. A few weeks After the procedure some swelling developed and the office had me come in right away to have it looked at by Dr. Goldberg. He assessed and everything was fine. I’m doing the second procedure today and I know I am in the best capable hands. If you want to see someone that is honest, caring and really wants to make you look and feel the best you can be then Dr. Goldberg is the plastic surgeon for you.

It has been five months since I had an upper and lower blepharoplasty performed by Dr. Goldberg. Without hesitation and with absolute confidence, I can recommend Dr. Goldberg and his team.
At all times, Dr. Goldberg and his team were professional, polite and personable.
Due to Covid, I chose to postpone my surgery; Stephanie was very understanding. When I did decide to go ahead, she made sure everything was in order. She went over the pre and post-op surgery protocols, answered all my questions, and put all my fears to rest.

My eyes look fabulous if I do say so myself! Dr. Goldberg is a brilliant surgeon and a master at his craft!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Dr. Cory is friendly and charming but condescending. I waited 2 years for a referral after going to my doctor for an inflamed cyst. Was told by Dr. Cory would be $450 to remove. I told him would be good to know that in advance since I waited 2 years and could have gone somewhere else. His response was super condescending and I did not appreciate it. He might do good work but not worth the wait to remove a cyst call someone else if you need it done now. Also front desk wasn't wearing a mask properly in the medical office during COVID!!

He also said the cosmetic list was fast. Then why did I wait two years? Seems like I was an administrative error combined with bad customer service

Dr. Cory Goldberg's response
I regret that you felt I spoke down to you as it was certainly not my intention. Unfortunately, your minor skin issue does not meet OHIP requirements to be covered. I draw your attention to the Ministry of Health Physician Schedule of Benefits - Appendix D. If I charge the province for removing minor skin lesions like yours I risk my license.

I also tried to explain how I most often need to see patients for consult before a procedure to confirm the diagnosis and plan, and get consent.

I recognize that after I told you your cyst is not covered by OHIP that you were upset and not able to listen to me since you misinterpreted or failed to hear much of what I said.

Thank you for making us more aware of mask practices, even behind Plexiglas barriers.

Dr Cory Goldberg is an amazing surgeon! He has impeccable bed side manners and great knowledge that leaves you feeling comfortable and informed. I had liposuction of the abdomen and flanks and I can already tell his technique was precise and sculpted to give you outstanding results. He is humble and honest about expectations to which I appreciate knowing the outcome. Would recommend to those wishing to receive the best care from him and his staff.

I found Dr. Goldberg to be an extremely skilled and friendly plastic surgeon. He's super down-to-earth and is such an artist with his work. I had a breast reduction done with him last year and I couldn't be happier with the results.

The only downside was that, as an OHIP patient, I didn't feel like the staff took my concerns or phone calls very seriously. I found it nearly impossible to get answers to important follow-up questions whenever I called the office -- and sometimes never heard back from them (even when they promised to do so). This was disappointing because it was an urgent question about medication interactions, and I instead had to turn to my pharmacist for answers.

From reading some of the other reviews, I'm guessing that his front staff give more attention to paying clients. So, if you're an OHIP patient, that's something to consider. However, even with these issues, I would recommend Dr. Goldberg purely based on his work as a plastic surgeon.
