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.

Dr. Goldgrabber
I feel like I have been deceived by Dr. Goldstick. He told me that if I paid him an extra $6,000 for an upgraded cataract replacement lens, I would NOT HAVE TO wear glasses. After the procedure, my mid range vision was excellent, but my near and distance were not improved.Questioning if the surgery was done correctly, I went to a renowned Retina specialist who, in his medical report, said that this patient WILL NEED GLASSES even though the surgery was done properly. A second opinion confirmed that the surgery was also done properly.However, both the Retina Specialist and the other Ophthalmologist said that Cataract Surgery DOES NOT work for everyone. When I challenged Dr. Goldstick multiple times in writing and verbally about this, asking why did I pay you an extra $6000, HE NEVER ANSWERED THE QUESTION. He just kept saying the surgery was done properly...he will not refund my money and dropped me as a patient.He took my money, didn't fix the problem and denied any fault.

I have been going to Dr. Goldstick for many years, on the recommendation of other family members. He is incredibly thorough, patient, and has the uncanny ability to connect other health issues to any current eye problem, which makes him an excellent diagnostician. He knows how to listen to his patients and takes the time to do so.
