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.

He was my ob-gyn during a difficult pregnancy. He always put my health and well-being first while recognizing that, for me, the priority was the health of my baby. In the end, though things didn't go according to my birth plan, both mommy and baby were healthy and thriving, and continue to thrive 3 years later. If I have another child, I will definitely go back to Dr. Goldman.

I have seen Dr. Goldman multiple times when my own OB/GYN was not available. He does have a gentle manner about him, but during the visit, he has a list of his own agenda and was rushed and dismissive of my own concerns outside of his checklist. I asked him what I can do to reduce the risk of a c-section, and his reply was "Gee, there's nothing much you can do. Do you have any ideas?" I was surprised that he would turn my own question back on me, when he is supposed to be the physician expert. Dr. Goldman always has slots when the other OBs do not, which I can see why because I would not knowingly choose him to be my primary OB.
