Where is Dr Mitchell N Goldstein practicing now?? He's been our orthopedist for 25+ years, and we love that fact that he isn't quick to recommend surgery

Lovely, caring doctor who left Central Orthopedics without being able to notify his existing patients. UNBELIEVABLY Central Orthopedics’ staff & doctors “play dumb” as to where he went. All they can say is “We don’t know where Dr. Goldstein went.”
Despicable, egotistical & spiteful behavior for physicians & staff not disclosing where a doctor went when it effects the care of patients. Medicine is just a business now - no longer about caring for patients. ??

Disgusted Patient in RVC, NY – Sep 18, 2018
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Goldstein?
As I had wrote about Dr. Goldstein before, I mentioned that he is an excellent doctor which is true , but am annoyed as I just started going back to him, to find out he no longer works for Central Orthopedic. This is the second time this has happened first when he was at Orlin and then now at Central orthopedic. I am so upset because it means, now I have to see who I am going to now.

Dr. Goldstein was great. On my first visit with him, we got right to the root of my back pain problems. He provided an excellent and proactive prescription for next steps on getting better long term. He's very thorough in his examination and takes and interest in the patient holistically, not just the symptoms and singular issues. I'm very much looking forward to working with Dr. Goldstein.

Incredibly responsive and caring professional. Staff responded immediately when requested an emergency appointment and I was in pain. I was seen within 2 hours of my request. In the past, doctor always returns my phone calls and is patient when answering my questions. Is willing to go the extra mile when additional documentation is needed for insurance reimbursement. Dr. Goldstein has seen my Dad, who is in his 80's, in the past and was patient and insightful with his recommendations.

Dr. Goldstein provided excellent care and was very prompt. He provided excellent insight and treatment for my lower back pain. He took the time to review my entire issue and made sure he performed the correct procedures to diagnose my pain and send me on the path to recovery.
Thanks again Dr. Goldstein :-)

I can't believe how much better my shoulder feels! Dr. Mitchell is very patient and polite. He does not rush you, and is happy to answer your questions. The one time he was running slightly late, he was apologetic and clearly values your time.

I had to have both knees drained with a cortisone shot. I was extremely nervous due to a prior bad experience. Dr Goldstein was reassuring, patient might I add funny but most of all there was no pain involved. I would never go anywhere else! Great doctor!!
