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 seemed in a real rush during my appt.

Beyond typical
Misdiagnosed in Holland, 6 days to get home, only to learn I had 2 fractured vertebrae, a dislocated neck, & a completely compressed nerve. Dr.Goldman had a mess to fix with a PCLF, but I’m getting my life back. It’s been a wild journey, and he has been my rock. Unbelievably blessed by his knowledge & skill! Thank you. (5 Months & striving. )

This guy is a real credit to his profession. Did an emergency Craniotomy on me after my Cardiologist screwed up by not monitoring and listening to my complainst while I was on Coumidin, and let me develop a subdural hematoma that nearly killed me. He was clear and concise in explaining everything, very attentive in my recovery. My other physicians all commented on how great a job he did on my skull-kinda unexpected. But he made the entire experience almost enjoyable-after the surgury.

Had two ER visits weekend of Feb 17 Pain level. 10. Have only seen PA and RN . First EMG scheduled April 23, talked to everyone was able to get one March 7, but steroid injections not till March 21. I have yet to see Dr. Goldman. I have repeatively talked and begged for treatment because of severe pain and fear of losing my job. I have only been given drugs and muscle relaxers where I have lost two weeks of memory...and still no appointment. I I want to know how all the others got in so quickly

Vaughn, WA – Mar 12, 2017

I had developed a sudden weakness and numbness in my left leg, along with severe pain over my quadricep and around my knee. After my primary provider, Dr Smoots, reviewed the results of my MRI, he made a call to Dr Goldman's office, and they got me in the very next day. After he examined me, Dr. Goldman scheduled me for surgery the next morning, which was even more amazing to me because it was a Saturday! I am definitely impressed with his caring and compassion and his skill.

Dr. Goldman did a great job in explaining everything that was going to take place regarding the surgery he was going to perform. Although I am in still quite a bit of pain, he said that there was nothing more than he could do for me & I appreciated the honesty. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Goldman was very nice and came up with a plane to fix my neck and arm pain issues with his colleague. Waited almost a month to see dr goldman at time of appointment i was assured that once they come up with which surgery i needed he would make sure to get it done ASAP! Now waiting again for another month to see his colleague. Then again wait to be scheduled for surgery. Very frustrating when i am in so much pain and cant get help. Prior dr goldman i was sent to NeoSpine same
