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 Gold was truly amazing. He worked with me through insurance confusion, definitely cut me a break and did my operation the day I saw him. My sister and I both have seen him now, and have nothing but high praise. On top of that, his office staff are so nice. They really create a family atmosphere at Dr. Gold's. They are true healers!

Good luck
I scheduled an appt for the only time I, a teacher who teaches the class load of two people, could. Today, I was told that my appointment, booked weeks in advance, is being canceled so the Dr. can have a longer Christmas break. They will not have availability until after the doctor retires. Literally. In the future , I feel the office staff could have been kept apprised of this and other people won’t have to wait a further 6 months to get care.

Gold has absolutely no respect for patient's autonomy or for his nursing staff. His ego is larger than life. This MD has no problem pressuring patients into painful, unwanted procedures. Not caring and acts condescending. Save your time and money and find a better physician with some empathy.

I would recommend Dr Gold to anyone I care about. I had a bunionectomy, and it changed my life. I spent years dealing with pain and insecurity, and I cannot tell you how happy I am to have had this surgery. But aside from the surgery itself, he and his staff are amazing. Every time I've gone into Dr Gold's office, he and his staff make me feel like I'm an old friend. I have literally never walked out of there without a smile on my face. Believe me, i was really nervous to have the surgery; let's face it, it's scary! But they were patient with me, informative, supportive, told me what to expect, and what to do if I had any issues. They are kind, warm, understanding and attentive. I don't think I've ever enjoyed going to the doctor before! I'm all healed now, and frankly, there's a part of me that is sad because I won't see them anymore! If you're looking for a doctor that will care about you, don't go anywhere else, he's the one. He and his staff will take care of you!

Dr. Gold is amazing. I came in with what I called a bump on the bottom of my heel. He scrapped the heel and now it feels 100% better. Thank you Dr. Gold and staff for making my experience a great one. I will definitely go back again.

Dr. Gold was outstanding! He did a laser surgery on an ingrown nail and it turned out great. He was very careful and talked me through the procedure. The staff was very helpful and caring. It was easy to make an appointment with the staff and they answered all my silly questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I went to get a bunion done on my foot. After the first surgery my big toe did not sit right and then I ended up with hammer toe. He did a second surgery which in turn did not fix any thing but made it worse. He wanted to do a third surgery but I went else where. I would not recommend him.

I had an appointment with Dr. Gold at 2 pm. I show up and the office told me he was on vacation, No one bothered to inform me. If the doctor has no discipline to let his patients know is absence he is not trustworthy.

His knowledge in this profession is unsurpassed. His female employee' in charge of scheduling surgery is a different story. The dr.instructed her to schedule surgery on a specific week to accommodate the patients time line. She took down our info and said she would call the next day with the hospitals location & time. 8 days later still no call' A call was placed to her on day 9 only to receive a bogus reason of why it's not done then vowed she would call tomorrow to confirm 3 days now' no call

I had a bunionectony done and now have CRSD from the surgery. Within three days from surgery I was admitted to the hospital due to infection at surgical site. Informed doctor on call that weekend I was in severe pain. Was told to undo dressing to the site and see Dr Gold on Monday. Dr. Gold sent me to Er asap. Terrible hospital experience. Don't ever let interns touch you. The only person that really cared was the nurses. Dont expect his staff or the doctor to see you when you have CRSD

Although it was too long a journey, I'm glad I finally found Dr. Gold. He does something hardly any podiatrists do nor the previous doctor I saw. That particular thing is... laser! Not only is it different, easy, and quick, but most importantly EFFECTIVE! Thank you so much Dr. Gold, for saving me many wasted hours spent in podiatry waiting rooms.

2 visits for same issue still not resolved, office staff are rude & unprofessional. Not at all helpful or caring..Office manager cares more about $$ than customer satisfaction. At THIRD visit wasn't able to even see DR bc our insurance had changed and they hadn't rec'd referral yet, left pt waiting in lobby, then was told lost appt time even though referral was faxed over. No call was ever made b4 appt to let us know they still had not rec'd the referral, very basic business practice!! AWFUL!

Dr. Gold and his staff were welcoming and helpful throughout all treatment, helping me to return to 100% in a short period of time. Dr. Gold's goal was to treat my problem in the least aggressive way possible while ensuring I achieve long term healing. My goal was to return to physical activity with no discomfort. I can say without doubt that I am back to 100%+ and have returned to all activities that my pain/discomfort was prohibiting. I would recommend Dr. Gold to anyone!
