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.

Extremely rude office staff. I called about an appointment, and a female staffer started yelling at me. She said that they did not accept my insurance. I tried to explain that I would pay cash, but it did not help. I've never experienced such unfriendly, aggressive, insulting behavior from a medical office receptionist. Just unbelievable. After this incident, I did not have any intention of going to this doctor.

I echo a previous review because Dr. Golub is surrounded by rude staff and incompetence. If he cannot organize his staff, I'm not letting him cut me open. I was charged $20 copay for a 5 minute chat and he didn't even have the MRI results of my cancer that I had HAND DELIVERED to his office 5 business days before!! I am trying my best to organize and be professional about my life threatening cancer but this outfit is not operating at my standard.

Dr. Golub has taken the time to help me figure out what was wrong with me and then correct the issue. I have been through five other doctors who were not able to diagnose me. Dr. Golub has been personable, informative, has offered me hope Yet realistic about my condition. I cannot say enough good things about him and the progress that he’s made so far on helping me feel better. In addition his nursing staff is wonderful.

Horrible experience. Came to see the Doctor after seeing another doctor and going to the Er all he did was go by the other two diagnoses which were incorrect. If he had done a scope like he was supposed to I wouldn’t have been in pain 16 hours a day and almost passed away.

Dr. Golub is competent and helpful. His front-office staff is not. I received insurance information from his staff that contradicted that from my insurer, I called Dr. Golub's office to clarify. My call was not returned. I went to the office, overheard the staff member complain, " I don't work for the insurance company," and was kept waiting for 20 minutes. Rather than helping, she chose to argue with me about the reason for my initial visit. I will not be returning to this practice.

Dr. Golub performed surgery for a prolapse and just prior to entering the OR I had to remind him he had planned to perform it laparoscopically. He seemed very annoyed and in a hurry, as it was quicker and easier for HIM to open up the abdomen. I quickly developed a prolapse right below what he tacked up as well as another area not fixed. He denied these problems and had total disregard. After confirmation exams by 2 other drs. I had to have surgery to fix these issues by another surgeon.
