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.

I would recommend Dr. Goldring
Dr. Goldring has treated me a number of years for cluster headaches. My experience with him has been quite positive the whole time. I communicate via the BJC patient portal when I have a question or need an appointment. The staff have been very responsive, no delays in getting back to me. My most recent episode was the worst ever, lasting months at a time. We were finally able to break the cycle via new medication not previously used. I was surprised to see so many negative reviews, but my experience has been all good and I will continue to seek treatment from him.

Terrible
Reading the previous reviews makes me happy I didn’t waste any more of my time than the 3 weeks of waiting for him to call me with “my paperwork on his desk”. I had an MRI that showed spots on my cerebellum, and I was trying to see him to figure out what that means. He called me and said there’s nothing he can do for me. LOL what?! This is basic knowledge that you went to school for. 0/10 recommend

Are you kidding me....
I called for an appointment for my grandson who was coming in from China. My grandson has tremors that were not successfully diagnosed in China. He needed to see someone here upon arrival. We submitted all detailed info from China, etc. The information arrived in the Doctor's office and according to the admin who answered the phone, "the information is on his desk." I called several times over the next 6 weeks and the answer was the same..."the information is on his desk." He never called to set an appointment or to just say he would not accept my grandson as a patient. I was disrespected by that behavior. If the materials were on his desk as his admin said, it would be difficult to recommend Dr. Goldring to anyone seeking neurology services.

Doesn’t listen!! Horrible human being......taps his pen on his desk when the patient talks.....so rude!!! I would NEVER recommend this jerk. Didn’t care that my seizures were worse....told me I wasn’t due to see home for 6 more months......what?? If the patient needs an adjustment he should be happy and responsive to talk to the patient. The jerk should not have any interaction with people!

I am so lucky to have Dr. Goldring as my neurologist! I have been going to Dr. Goldring for 7 years now. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. I have epilepsy....and he is the only neurologist who actually cares about me and my condition. Also Charlotte who works in the office is great....very caring and compassionate.

Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Didn't have to wait an unreasonable amount of time. I wish they used electronic prescriptions but that isn't a huge deal.

Dr. Goldring interrupted me while I was telling him why I was there, which he had asked me. He then started asking questions and allowing me to give short answers. He told me to come back in six months. I did, and he asked me why I was there and said something about wasting his time. Never again. Please do not waste your time or money on this doctor. He also insulted his staff in front of me.

I would NEVER recommend this doctor. We waited for over an hour with no apology. Doctor Goldring was incredibly rude, belittling and dismissive. It was by far one of the worst experiences I have had with a doctor. I would NEVER go back or recommend him to anyone.
