I recently moved to NYC and was in search of a physician to refill my RX. I found myself setting an appointment with Dr. Goldberg based on location and available appointments. But what a lucky surprise I found in her. Dr. Goldenberg is one of the few doctors I've found that REALLY listens. This skill allows her to ask the right questions to get to the root of a problem, rather than just throwing medication at it. She has a motherly quality about her that aides in helping the patient understand the importance of her instructions. Dr. Goldenberg and her team are now my primary physician and I couldn't be happier. I have never felt so genuinely cared about by a doctor and the ENTIRE practice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I came in for an annual physical and the doctor doesnt speak english and refused to give me the check and started arguing with the nurse in pulbic. Besides this is after an hour wait.
Very good!
Verified patient
I think overall it went well. It would be nice if they put all of their forms on Zocdoc. Prepare to fill out more forms when you arrive.
Nurses were quite nice. Dr. Goldenberg was quick and efficient. I went to get blood work done and I got my results back in a couple days.
Verified patient
I loved my visit! The office is beautiful and clean--- the staff was kind and efficient. My appointment was thorough, and I never felt rushed.
Verified patient
Went into this facility for an annual physical with Dr.Goldenberg, who was not only very nice and professional but also very attentive of what I had to say and what I needed from her as a patient. I highly recommend Dr.Goldenberg as a PCP Doctor because she provides such sincere care which is very important for a doctor/patient relationship. Also, the front desk in the facility were also very nice and friendly with minimum wait time to see the Doctor.
Verified patient
Laughably bad experience, over 90 mins to finally see the doctor and then she did not even have the simple tools to do the job that every other primary care has. Never again.
Verified patient
excellent bedside manner, pays very close attention to detail. Made me feel comfortable. I'm definitely going to keep her as my PCP.
Verified patient
I recently visited the Madison Ave location where I was greeted by a welcoming bright office and enthusiastic front desk. Everyone was so eager to help me, Dr. Goldenberg greeted with me with a big smile which gave me a sense of comfort that I normally wont get from a regular office. Her bedside manners are impeccable and she knew just what I had came in for. Her team ran a couple of tests on me that reassured me I would be fine after treatment. I recommend this facility to anyone looking to establish a new pcp relationship.
Verified patient
The visit was great. Dr. Goldenberg was very thorough through out the visit. She listened to my complaints and made me feel at ease. The staff was amazing and they took me in right away. I would recommend Dr. Goldenberg to all my friends and family.
Verified patient
I think you should seriously reconsider recommending her to patients. She was incredibly rude and unprofessional and I had to actually walk out on my appointment. She would refuse to listen to my symptoms, and almost jammed a wooden stick down my throat after I had asked her to check on it because it hurt.
Verified patient
Clearly set in her ways. Rude and quite bossy. Spent time going over unnecessary information and it was overall an ineffective meeting. Spent a lot of time in the waiting room as well.
I went for my annual physical and this is the first time the doctor checked my pulse with her hans on my wrist. They didn't have the device that checks your pulse and oxygen level. Even more surprising was the fact that she didn't even check my height weight temperature. (The doctor herself was doing everything, no nurse). It was a strange and confusing experience. One minute I was talking to her about my post partum pain and next minute I was rushed into seeing a pain management specialist they had in. I am not complaining that she was concerned about my pain, but the whole setup specially that the pain management doctor didn't take any notes of my evaluation and referred me further to another doctor for treatment (Next time that I go, how will they know/remember what my problem is) seemed too informal and bit shady. Even more annoying is that I wont get the results of my annual blood work online or in mail, I will have to go for another appointment to actually discuss the results with the doctor. I have been going to NYU and Mt Sinai and never had to this before. I just wanted a last minute appt, thats why I chose this doctor. But the practice seems shady.
Walked in today and I was welcomed by the staff appropiately. Place is beautiful and the doctor is very pleasant. She treated me and prescribed me medication for my sore throat. I will definitely recommend her to any patient.
Dr. Goldenberg has been my primary care doctor for about a year now. She is very friendly knowledgeable and has great bed-side manners.
I was feeling very overwhelmed and very ill today. Booked at last minute, but I was able to be seen by the doctor. I felt welcomed and the atmosphere is admirable.
Dr. Goldenberg was very nice, sweet, comforting and detailed. She listed many options for my cold and home remedies that can help.
My visit with Dr. Goldenberg was amazing. She was very thorough throughout the visit and I was very pleased. I would be returning to see Dr. Goldenberg.
