Verified patient
The staff at the office were really kind and thankfully have a good sense of humor. They were very professional in all ways and at all times,but willing to listen and share a laugh with me. Dr. Goldsmith is very professional and seems to really know how to talk To a person,not At a person. I fully trust him and staff to do an excellent job on my hip.

Love the physician but everytime I have ever gone to his office the wait time in the waiting room is at least two hours.

Verified patient
I was dreading this visit as ortho offices are notorious for extremely long wait times. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by the relatively short wait! The office staff, and Dr. Scott were all super friendly and helpful!
Verified patient
Dr. Scott is the best but the wait everytime I go there is always 1 to 1 1/2 hrs just to see him. He's a great Dr. but very frustrating with that long wait.
Dr Scott Goldsmith wasn't able to address my problem. He did refer me to someone else that can and I appreciate how he talked to me and talked to the other Dr about my problem while I was in his office and planned my upcoming visit the to other Dr.
Verified patient
Saw Dr. Goldsmith assistant, Mat. He was so professional, personable and discussed all treatments available. It was a good experience.
Verified patient
My visit, although a long one, was good. The staff was very friendly and professional. I knew that they were listening to me and understood my concerns. Very compassionate and we're able to present me with several options for better quality of living.
Verified patient
I think everything was fine except this is my second time there and both visits I waited over an hour for a scheduled appointment. My time is valuable as well!
He didn't really give me much information which is why I went to the doctor. I am still wondering what is wrong with my knee. But the office staff was warm and friendly.

Verified patient
I have never had a bad visit with Dr Goldsmith. Staff have always been great and attentive. It's a doctors office of course and there will be issues along the way. But they take care of them effectively
Verified patient
I was seen at the Plant City by Matthew Smith who was really nice. He has great bedside manners and really knows his stuff. Everything was great up until my discharge. I was given a requisition to make an appointment for an MRI of my left knee. The first requisition was a receipt of a knee brace not a requisition form. So I had to drive back to the office and get the actual requisition form. Then that one had my name wrong and did not have a diagnosis code. Instead of driving back to the office I called instead. I spoke to someone very nice and very pleasant who really understood my frustration he said he was in Brandon office. He not only took care of the requisition form he even faxed it to central scheduling for me with CORRECT information! Then finally I was able to make an appt.

I would highly recommend Dr Scott Goldsmith to anyone looking for an Orthopedic Specialist. His office staff is very on point as well as all of the nurses and various staff through out the back of the office. Just a brief story about my visit, Dr Goldsmith had directed me to Tiffany who handles all of the scheduling. The only date they had was Feb. 2. As I was leaving, Dr Goldsmith was finishing up with another patient and had asked me if I had the date taken care. I told him the date and his response was no we are going to get you taken care of sooner than that. Now granted that may not happen in every single scenario, but the fact that he took the time to go and speak with Tiffany in scheduling was beyond what he needed to do. He came back out and my new surgery date is now Jan. 5. Thank You Dr. Goldsmith, and your staff for what you do each day.

Awesome

Dr Goldsmith took the time to explain everything in a very thorough manner. Gave me all options with regards to the condition I was dealing with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an orthopedic doctor.
Verified patient
I highly recommend this office and Dr. Goldsmith, very caring, he takes time to listen and to diagnose or give accurate treatment.
Verified patient
Excellent. All went well dr was great.
Verified patient
Did an excellent job explaining the diagnosis and treatment options-very pleasant personality and I left with full confidence in his recommendations
Verified patient
Did not see Dr. Goldsmith. Had emergency school. Was disappointed that they could not continue treatment. They are not spinal surgeons. Have to find another doctor. Everyone was pleasant. Wife will probably go to Dr Goldsmith for hip replacement.
Verified patient
The Doctor was excellent. There was a problem booking the appointment because they would not listen to me that I was on basic Medicare. They kept insisting that I have an advantage plan and I do not. I got to frustrated and went online to book the appointment. There wasn't an option in the insurance option box for my situation. It took the manager at the office to straighten the problem out.
Verified patient
He was nice and told me what I needed to do. Wasn't up for surgery right away. So, was glad to hear the other options and the shot in my shoulder worked. Thanks to him and his team.
Verified patient
Excellent Dr. & staff is extremely friendly and assertive. Highly Recommend!! I will continue making the 1.5hr drive for future appts with him due to his bedside manner & attentiveness.
Verified patient
I was so happy with my visit at Dr. Scott Goldsmith's office. He was very thoughtful and complete with his exam. He took the time to answer my questions and make me comfortable about my up- coming surgery. I would recommend him very highly for hip replacement surgery.
Verified patient
Doctor Goldsmith was phenomenal. The office staff was less than great however. My appointment was at 3. I arrived 20 minutes early to fill out paperwork but I wasn't even seen by the doctor until 5:15. I wasn't even going to write this review, but now I stand at the pharmacy where the receptionist said she sent my prescription for pain but they don't have it. I called the office and was transferred to the answering service and was told I won't be able to get in touch with them until Monday when they return. I'm ready to scream. Get it together.
I love Dr Goldsmith he gave it to me strait. and that's a happy office every one is so nice and make shore your visit goes good.
Verified patient
I was pleased. The dr seemed to have an interest in what is going on with my wrist unlike the last few I've seen, and he seems to want to correct the problem i am having.
Verified patient
Doctor was great. Very professional and friendly. All but one of the office staff was wonderful. Except for the receptionist. Very rude. No hello, please or thank you. Looked very unhappy. Being a previous office manager of a doctor office, I would not want her to be the first person patient's see. Receptionists should be friendly, polite and at least smile at you when you approach front desk.
Very professional operation, from front desk staff and initial screening nurse/xray techs, to the associate doctor who rendered medical evaluation/treatment. Most definitely recommend...well done all around! Hooah!
