Dr. Donald Peter Goldsmith, MD

Dr Goldsmith is intelligent, thorough, and understanding,. He listens to both you your child..

Long wait time was ridiculous even though we were the second appointment of the day. Also, cost for the visit was obnoxious. Who can afford this, even with insurance!

I have never been to an office where the staff is so rude. The girl who answers the phone is the worst. I think her name is Ella. I was told she would have to stop what she was doing to help me. I wish I never took my child here, so many better options.

When I was 12, I was always tired, achy, always had a low-grade fever and often had migraines, I missed a lot of school that year. My pediatrician ran test and because of the results he recommended that I see a rheumatologist. After a few visits, he essentially told my parents that I had schoolitis and was a hypochondriac. Luckily for me, my parents trusted me and not the doctor. We went to another rheumatologist for a second opinion and I was diagnosed with SLE, with steroids, anti-malaria drugs and aspirin therapy, I began to feel well again. Dr. Goldsmith made me feel that it was all in my head. Even years later and with 3 rheumatologist having confirmed the SLE diagnosis, when I experience a flare, I still have them run my blood work to check for elevated lupus markers. His diagnosis still negatively effects me. Save your child the heartache and see another rheumatologist.
