Dr. Kenneth Goldaber, MD

I tested into the Gestational Diabetes range with my third pregnancy. I was told that Gestational Diabetes was "his arena" and that if I or my midwife chose to downplay his medical advice, then I basically would be risking my and my unborn child's life and the pregnancy would likely result in death for us both. He stated that he is not a fan of Midwifery and that he is the most qualified to assist patients "like me" regarding GD. I would never recommend any mother, especially a person of color who is looking to birth with a midwife, to frequent Kenneth's office due to his lack of experience or empathy with the mothers who choose this route to give birth. Professionally, he is condescending toward any other medical solution/treatment unless it is his suggestion. He made comments toward my spiritual/religious beliefs regarding my choices that made me extremely uncomfortable, and his attention to detail was subpar when discussing my medical history within my file.

Dr. Goldaber told me my baby had IUGR after one of my regular visits. I was 39 weeks. After my ultrasound with the tech he insisted I left his office and went straight to the hospital to be induced and delivered. He told told me I didn't have much time not to go home to get anything but go straight to the hospital. He handed me an envelope for the hospital and I left. Once I got to the hospital and provided them the envelope they checked me in and did another ultrasound. My baby was absolutely fine. Still confused I went and had yet another ultrasound by a different sonographer and again everything looked good. No one understood why he would have told me that. By the way Dr. GOLDABER NEVER rechecked my sonogram after his tech and refused to do so. I delivered my baby girl 3 days later and she Was perfect. I'm glad I didn't Listen to him. He stressed me out So bad I couldn't eat, sleep; or think. But thank God my baby is here and healthy no IUGR

It would be nice to know beforehand that there is a no kids under 10 years old policy, but rescheduling is quick and easy. The staff were friendly, and Dr. Goldaber was really nice and welcoming.

This office has a severe lack of communication and organization. I can't trust them to communicate efficiently, no way I would trust them with something as important as my child's life. Very disappointed.
