Dr Goldberg is leaving. I'm confident his replacement will be just as thorough and helpful. My medical issue is minor in the scale of diseases, I believe I get the attention it warrants! Thank you. .

As always, my appointments with Dr. Goldberg are really good. He has continued to provide care for me for the past four years. He always listens and he hears what I'm saying and feeling and he shares from his abundance of knowledge and experience in any way that is helpful. I highly value the relationship I established with him and would recommend him to anyone

Dr Sheldon Goldberg has been my doctor for the past 12 1/2 years. He has saved my life twice. He has fought with insurance companies to get me the treatment I needed. He is just simply amazing!I understand he is retiring at the end of this year and I am devastated to lose him as my doctor and as someone I trust with my care. I know he will put me in good hands, but I will miss him deeply.

Everyone is sad to see Dr. Goldberg retire. He "gets" my advanced education and intelligence -- not quite as high-level as his, understands my threatening blood condition and senses my frustrating home life, enjoys mutual humor, appreciates my high-level aspirations, and interest in a fare-thee-well retirement party for him.
