Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

On the fence with service
Generally, I am satisfied with the service I receive from Dr. Goldson. However, calling to make an appointment or obtain information is a horrible experience. I am always put on hold for several minutes and since the change in staff it appears the new staff are unaware of several services. Having to have my Rx refilled is also horrible. My pharmacy and I both called and after 4 days my Rx still was not filled due to no one from the office returning the call.

Bedside manner lacking
This experience reminded me why i stopped going to one of my past doctors. She was very stoic almost robotic and no bedside manner. She was nice but i prefer someone that at least is personable. I don’t need to be besties but she did not make me feel comfy.

I'm a current patience the quality of service was Good at that's when I was seeing Dr. Goldson I felt comfortable and Happy to have a Black Doctor. fast forward 3 years later maybe 4 the quality of service has dropped TREMENDOUSLY!!!! (my insurance coverage change I was sent to the blue office) as I'm typing this I've been on hold for over 30 minutes to ask why my rx hasn't been called in yet I've been without for 5 days now. The pharmacy has called, I've called and left a message Monday to is now Thurs. sadly to say I'll be looking for a new Doctor. Finally get thru and the young lady who answer had the nerve to try and get a little snappy but I slowed her down. FINALLY GOT RX FILLED. signed FRUSTRATED !!!!

I used to go there but her practice had advised me to go a counselor that made my mental health become worse than it already was.

Early on as a patient, I was quite pleased. Prior to obtaining company sponsored insurance, I received Medicaid; which Dr. D.G. Prophet did not accept, however, I had the opportunity of being seen by a Nurse Practitioner in her practice. At that point, it was the end for me. How uncaring, arrogant, snobbish and rude. To tell someone they may be seen by a Nurse, but not by a Certified Board Physician, due to the insurance. Sounds like the GOP to me...

Went to her office twice, never saw anyone resembling a doctor. After long wait, though I was the only one in the office, I was seen by a physician's assistant who sent me off to get blood tests and scheduled me to come back in a month. When I returned, they lost my appointment and refused to see me. No one ever contacted me to rebook or other.

She develops an understanding of your health by learning about you as a person. She listens and makes reasonable recommendations. She is not a pill pusher.
