Dr. Goldansky is a rare type of doctor in this age, he takes the time needed to help with whatever problems you are having. The care he gives is second to none, very personable and truly cares about his patients. I have been going to him for 30+years and he has always taken wonderful care of me. Still takes care of me. Very grateful for the person he is and the amazing Dr he is. I honestly can't say enough amazing things about him. Thank you

Dr. Goldansky, his assistant and the lab were wonderful. My only issue was with the front desk staff. The female was dismissive & rude. My question regarding two appointments for a physical & copay was answered with the same language over & over again while constantly interrupting me & talking over me. I have no issue with paying a copay for a valid visit and coming back for another visit. It was the explanation which was not provided effectively. It was also without empathy or respect. As I left the office, the person at the window had the same issue & experience I did. She ended up canceling her appt and going somewhere else. It’s unfortunate such a person represents a stellar doctor and staff.

When I first arrived at the office, I was very frustrated because the receptionist failed to acknowledge me, answered the phone while I was standing at the desk, and didn't really acknowledge me. I was so ready to write a NASTY review.
As it turns out, I was late, they have a HUGE sign that I missed that asks you to fill out a form before you walk up to the receptionist, and I'm the one who wasn't following instructions. Realizing that, she was VERY friendly with me. To top that off, I was taken into the exam room within mere minutes of taking a seat. I hadn't even completed my new patient paperwork, so despite my tardiness, the office kept their standards of timeliness. V Impressed.
Dr. Goldansky was thorough, made excellent recommendations, and was clearly highly knowledgeable. I haven't had a PCP for a very, very long time, and I'm very pleased to add Dr. G to my medical team. I'd definitely recommend this practice.
March 8, 2022Carly C.Verified patient
Dr. Zoldansky was most accommodating - he recommended patent treatments for my ailments, and he is trustworthy. I think there is room for more rigorous examination, though - at least, that is my experience with previous physicians.
March 1, 2022Peter S.Verified patient
To the point. If you DONT want to hear the truth then Dr Goldansky is not for you. If you’re drug seeking, forget it. Great Dr and bedside manner!
December 30, 2020Lisa R.Verified patient
Dr Goldansky,
Is always making sure his patients are really ok. Wants to know if there is anything he can do to help or possibly change meds to make you better.

Honestly BEST bedside manner. I work in healthcare and Dr. Goldansky listened to my history, understood and helped with a plan of action to improve my health.

The waiting time was about 75min because there was some confusion with the online appts not transferring to their system and they were sooo busy. After 23 days of being in pain and extreme itchiness from a persistent allergic reaction, that was my breaking point. When I met Dr Goldansky, he was wonderful. He took all my vitals himself, listened to what was going on over the past 3+wks and I genuinely felt as though he cared. He was very empathetic. I’m glad I sought him out and am excited to have a new PCP. Thank you!!
**I would Confirm your appt directly through their office so you’re able to get right in

Even though i waited 45 minutes, Dr Goldansky is absolutely worth the wait. He is the very best Doctor I've been blessed to know.
January 17, 2019Lynne H.Verified patient
I've gone to numerous primary care physicians over the years, but Dr. Goldansky is by far the best. He is thoughtful, caring, and listens to his patients. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
June 1, 2018William K.Verified patient
Dr. Goldansky is straight to the point, come prepared! I love that in a doctor, give me all the facts. He goes fast, so ask questions. The more you know about yourself, the more he can help. I loved him and am thrilled with my new doctor!

November 16, 2016Marta H.Verified patient
Nice guy straight shooter.
October 14, 2016Russell W.Verified patient
He is my primary care physician and he is always on time and always very helpful. You can almost always get same day appts (if not you can get in with somebody else in the office) and if you have problems/questions the office staff calls back very quickly!
August 8, 2016Crystal E.Verified patient
Vsry good. He will listen to what you have say
April 19, 2016Richard H.Verified patient
I was a first time patient. The front office staff had no idea that I had used zocdoc and was terse and almost rude when I stated that was how I had made the appointment. The wait time was a good hour before I was shown a room and then another 30minutes before the doc showed up. Dr. Goldansky spent most of the appointment trash talking the pharmacy I use and seemed more interested in pushing a new drug onto me than working with me on what I had been using. My experience was not good and I wouldn't recommend this office.
