All of my experiences with Dr. Golden have been fantastic, when I first met him he already had a comprehensive surgery plan in place. Surgery was just as he said it would be and any possible side effects were discussed prior to my surgery.Any questions or concerns were answered toy satisfaction during my follow -up appointments.

I think very highly of Dr. Joseph Golden. I was referred to him by my doctor here in the Tri-Cities, WA since I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Swedish was the only place to go. Dr. Golden was easy to understand and explained everything so I didn't need to ask a lot of questions. He was very professional and pleasant. I felt very confident with him and that he would be able to help me which was very reassuring. He is a great doctor!
