    Dr. Goldberg was exceptional! Extremely pleased with my experience after one visit. I had seen a previous provider for my issue and left disappointed (I was seen for only 5 minutes). Dr. Goldberg took care and time to explain everything that he was seeing and thinking about in his diagnosis. Very pleased.

    Excellent and caring doctor.

    Dr. Goldberg may be one of the best doctors on earth, If not the best already! This is not an exaggeration. His 2 doctor residents that I met are very nice and fortunate to be learning from Dr. Goldberg. They will carry on his legacy once they go out on their own. Lots to learn between now and when that happens but it'll happen before they know it! They both seem to be very capable doctors already.
