“This was my initial visit with Dr Goldstein. He took time to listen to me and answered all my questions. I was concerned that he was going to propose surgery to solve my issue. Dr. Goldstein assured me that we have many different avenues that should help. Surgery would be the last option if nothing else works. However, he felt comfortable that he would find something that will help me. ”

I saw Dr. Goldstein at the Great Neck location. My first visit was very pleasant, and he referred me for an MRI. Later, I contacted the office several times regarding a letter I needed for transportation documentation, but I felt my concerns were not addressed. At my follow-up visit, when I shared these concerns with Dr. Goldstein, he seemed to brush them off. He was very brief with me and redirected me to see a pain specialist. It felt as though he hadn’t reviewed my records to see that I had already tried the prescribed medication and therapy without success. I left feeling unheard and very disappointed with this visit, and I will not be returning to him.

1st time seeing Dr. Goldstein. He is an absolute gentleman. Listened to all my concerns and understood them as well. My wife was with me during my appointment and he showed just as much respect to her as he did me. Not disappointed at all.

I went in for a consultation appt. Dr. Goldstein was great. He listened to my situation and although additional tests need to be done, he provided next steps for my treatment and eased my anxiety. The office is clean, the wait was not long and the staff was nice and friendly.
