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.

Great experience with Dr Goldman
Dr Goldman expertly diagnosed and surgically treated my meniscus tear. Less than a week after surgery I’m feeling great with minimal pain and recovering well.

Dr. Goldman tried Cortisone injections , Gel And
Cortisone and Gel injections did not help. HeMentioned I could have partial but would only last few years, my husband in cancer palliative care, so he said he would work with me with more injections. Very kind, caring

Dr. Goldman performed knee surgery 6 days ago. At post op visit he explained what he done and had photos to illustrate. Not only did he repair my torn meniscus, he also took steps to help me with my arthritis! Thank you Dr. Goldman!!

MVP, GOAT, The Best!
It has been 16 days post-op since my total knee replacement surgery and so far…..so good. No surprises/complications and proceeding according to schedule. Anticipating full recovery and back to normal activities at the 16 week mark. More to follow.

Finally Painless!
I had back, hip and knee pain for over a year. After back surgery did nothing, a friend recommended I see Dr. Goldman. He explained how the hip can impact all three areas. Six weeks after a left hip replacement, I have no pain and can begin to be my active self again.

In 2007, Dr. Golden replaced both knees and apparently it was a great job as both are still working , this visit was to check the left knee as a tendon above the knee was damaged, knee was fine .

So Glad I Chose Him!
From a recommendation by a close friend I consulted with Dr. Goldman for right hip pain. As it turned out I needed it replaced and he performed the procedure. That was in 2009. In 2014 it was my left hip and even though we had moved to Somerset, there was no way I would consult with any other surgeon. My recent visit was just a checkup on both and Dr. Goldman assured me they both looked great!

A very busy surgeon
Dr. Goldman has performed three surgeries on me to date. Two arthroscopic shoulder surgeries and a hip replacement. The shoulders both went well and were done prior to 2011. Yhe practice has come a long way since then. Office is always very busy. Despite this, they are still very efficient. Hip replacement was in 2020. Went as well as can be expected and I've had no issues since. Dr. Goldman is a man of few words, but he still explains what the issue is and how it needs to be fixed. He is a top notch surgeon IMO.

Great experience for a hip replacement
After I woke up from the operation, I never had to take a pain medication and 3 days later I walked over a mile.

None better
Well I have to say there is no better orthopedic surgeon as good as Dr Goldman! He has done my replacement knee over 20 years ago and still doinggreat,where as I had a WC surgeon (who was chosen by Ins Co &judge)to do the other knee 7 years later & have had nothing but pain n swelling.Dr Goldman is a true caring professional who is blessed with the knowledge and wisdom needed to ease the anxiety of replacement surgery! Most recently he completed a reverse shoulder replacement and it was done with impeccable care. and skill! Thank you to Tri County &. Most of all Dr. Robert Goldman!

Dr. Goldman
Your Review: 5 star rating icon Dr. Goldman is the best knee replacement surgery. Dr. Goldman and I reviewed my left knees and gave me a cortisone shot which is our plan of action. He replaced the right knee in 2015 and used a minimum invasive procedure which avoided cuttIng threw muscle. The replacement for the right knee took a half hour. At the same time he performed a meniscus repair. We reviewed our plan and he checked both knees. Since the left knee bothers me sometimes. we will do cortisone shots when needed. Dr Goldman is the knee man in New Jersey. Sandra Greene - June 21, 2023
