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. Goldstein is always available when I need him, no matter what time or place. He is a very caring and kind person and I have had several surgeries performed by him and will continue to as I will be having several more surgeries in the near future. He has a wonderful bedside manner and always takes the time to explain everything so I can understand. When my family has questions, he always takes the time to explain to them as well. He is a great person and excellent and very knowledgeable surgeon. Douglas L Angle family

I never actually got to go to my appointment. I couldn't find their office, so I called them to ask directions, they didn't answer, had to leave a message. Miss my appointment, plus kept calling them, they never even called me back! Wouldn't except anything less from someone from Pulaski.

Excellent physician and surgeon. He's caring, compassionate, and listens. He never pushes surgery but waits until you're ready to accept it.

This whole office has it together - refreshing. Dr. Goldstein, the nurses, the staff all seem to actually enjoy their jobs, and they each stay focused on the patient, exhibit professionalism, complete competence, and do it all with good humor. We have been patients there for years. We wish we could go to them for every type of medical need!

Dr Goldstein is an excellent surgery. He is that rare physician with the ability to explain procedures, tests and results on a level you can understand without feeling he is talking down to you. His concern and compassion for his patients is real. Dr. Goldstein listens and addresses concerns or questions you might have regarding your healthcare without feeling rushed. In fact, he encourages you to ask questions. I personally would recommend him to everyone. Rhonda Whitehurst

Dr. Goldstein and his staff are the best period. They treated me with a very caring attitude and made be feel at ease from the beginning to the end of my colonoscopy that Dr. Goldstein performed. I would highly recommend Dr. Goldstein and his staff for any one looking for a caring and skilled surgeon.
