“This was my first visit to this office, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I received a call prior to the appointment and was offered the option to come in earlier, which I really appreciated.
Upon arrival, the building manager was strict about parking, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Dr. Ari Goldsmith was very friendly and gentle with my son. He asked thorough questions, evaluated the situation, and clearly explained both the cause of the issue and the solution.
The staff was also very kind and informative. I would definitely return if needed and would highly recommend Dr. Goldsmith to anyone looking for care for their child. It’s just a shame he only treats pediatric patients!”

“He was very thorough and not dismissive explained my son issue in away that we were able to understand clearly and broke down the medical term made sure we understood the prescription instructions and the outcome he schedule a follow up which was a relief. We actually felt heard and listened to about the concerns we had while he was still straight to the point. ”

Super friendly and helpful staff. Dr Goldsmith is a very patient listener and was very informative, very telling of his years of experience. My son has ASD and was very distressed (and loud) but Dr Goldsmith and the staff were gentle and supportive. Wait time was barely 15 minutes, they don’t overbook, office is spacious and clean.

Dr. Goldsmith is the best! He listens to all of your concerns and explains everything very clearly. He performs the tongue tie surgery quickly and allows you and the baby to nurse and recover in a comfortable room. He speaks to you after and provides clear instructions for aftercare.
