Knowledgeable and kind
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.
