Dr. Eugene Emmanual Goldman, MD

My Specialty and Why I Chose It

I am an emergency physician. This means I am the first line of defense for our care facilities. I chose to be an emergency physician because this work is extremely challenging, but emotionally rewarding. I leave the hospital at the end of the day knowing I positively impacted the lives of my community.

My Practice Philosophy

I believe that patients should be empowered to take control of their own health and well being. I try to provide care and consultation based on many years of education and experience but I also genuinely respect individual choices and beliefs. I am deeply committed to providing the most support and encouragement when patients need me most and work diligently to help build a patient’s personal foundation for healthy, happy living.

My Tenure with Kaiser Permanente

I’ve been with Kaiser Permanente since 2008. Having been exposed to several other health care methodologies and programs, I grow more confident every day that Kaiser …Permanente has the most effective model of delivering the highest quality health care to the community. Nowhere else is there such a smooth continuity of care where I can treat someone in the Emergency Department and ensure that they can follow up with their primary doctor or specialist the following day. Nowhere else have I seen so much emphasis placed on disease prevention and a healthy lifestyle – I routinely enroll patients with chronic conditions into special education pathways where they learn about managing their disease and staying healthy. I am privileged here at Kaiser Permanente to have the freedom to practice the best care practices available and all of our efforts are directed to a single goal - to provide the best care to our patients.




On a Personal Note. . .

My family immigrated to the United States from the USSR when I was a teenager, an experience that helped shape me forever. I am very lucky to have experienced many cultures, spending frequent time abroad. I am supported by a loving wife and three fantastic sons who keep me humble, happy, and on my toes. I have always been fascinated by the immense beauty of the land that surrounds us in California and enjoy taking hikes with my family and friends. I also love spending time watching my children grow, reading a good fiction novel, and practicing martial arts.
