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 have to say Dr Goldfarb took great care of me. I had so many problems with other doctors & was referred to Dr Goldfarb. I found him to joke with me & to take great care of me before surgery and then after. He operated on me twice & they were three years apart. I couldn’t have been more grateful for him & his skill as a surgeon.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Goldfarb?
I was referred for a surgical procedure by another doctor. He never read my notes, which was apparent as he dismissively asked about my symptoms & previous procedures. Didn't let me finish, constantly interrupted me & stopped taking notes after 5 min. Judged me based on my seemingly young, happy, healthy appearance. Spent more time belittling me for taking psych meds and said I don't need them and should meditate. Only examined 3/7 concerned areas and suggested a procedure I already had and left
