Dr. Benzion Goldwyn, MD

I have had at least 6 appointments with Dr. Goldwyn. His interpersonal and listening skills are below average…many of his responses to my questions are either dismissive, condescending, or incomplete. I have severe ear pain when descending during air travel. He put tubes in my ears several times which definitely helped, but it is so painful when this is being done, I almost jump out of the chair. I feel demeaned when asking a question.

My experience with Dr. Goldwyn has left me deeply saddened and disappointed. I sought his expertise to have a benign parotid tumor removed, hoping for relief. Unfortunately, the outcome of the surgery has been devastating – it has resulted in permanent facial paralysis and synkinesis,robbing me of my ability to smile again, and causing a permanent shift in the course of my life.What makes matters worse is the absence of any viable solutions and the abrupt dismissal from his care. Dr. Goldwyn attributed this to a reason that now appears to be false, citing an insurance change. However, I can't help but suspect that it may have been because he had already received payment for the surgery. Unfortunately, the damage he has caused is irreversible.This has been an excruciating experience, one I wouldn't wish on anyone. I strongly discourage anyone from considering Dr. Goldwyn for any surgical procedures.

Butcher, in every way. Low class. Messed up my nose completely- I can’t breath and had to have another surgery to fix this doctor’s incompetence . Find another doctor; save yourself from lots of suffering. I would NOT recommend this doctor.

I was referred to this MD under Sutter Health's emergency code. Dr. Goldwyn decided... without seeing me or speaking with me... that I wasn't an emergency and I could wait 10-12 weeks for my first appt.. Months later I was finally seen in the Elk Grove office and my ear was in big trouble and I was, and had been, in significant pain. Dr. G. referred me elsewhere for surgery he did not/could not perform. Result...I lost the bones of my middle ear, a major nerve in the ear and part of my mastoid. I am now faced with additional surgery/surgeries to try to restore the hearing in that ear. I'll never know if things might have been different if I had been seen in a timely manner. I will never return to this man's "care".

Incredible caring and highly skilled physician. Hands down is one of the best in all things you could want from a doctor/surgeon.
