Review for Dr. Cruz
Dr Goldman spends time with his patients. I never felt rushed. He took time to explain everything and answered all my questions. If I have a vascular problem in the future Dr Goldman is the firstOne I call.

Review for Dr. Goldman
Dr. Van Mater was unprofessional and not caring. Her focus wasn’t on the patient but on filling out questionnaires for insurance purposes. She lacks compassion and patient support. Wouldn’t recommend her at all.
