Avoid this guy. You’ll see that he has all 5 star reviews, but most of them are old. I wondered about that before I had my surgery. This Dr doesn’t care about you. You are a dollar sign and you fit into a box. You are not an individual with individual problems and your own medical history. He may be a nice guy but I made a terrible mistake and hope someone sees this and avoids this guy/northwestern like the plague. You will get zero support post op once he gets your $$$ from the $55k surgery.

He is the best doctor. No one spends more time with his patients trying to decide the best course of action. He is affable and intelligent. I recommend him to one and all.

It is so comforting and refreshing to have a medical professional with such a big smile treat you, especially when he doesn't cut you unnecessarily and gives you an honest opinion with much confidence. I almost skipped out of his office today. Highly recommended!

Dr. Goldman is an outstanding doctor/surgeon. He takes time to ensure you understand what is happening and answering all questions before and after procedures. He took the time to evaluate me until he found out what was causing problems unlike my regular doctor. He said if my family has any questions they can call him, as well as, if I have any further questions. When results came in from my colonospy, he called the pathologist to ensure the accuracy of the tests. I would recommend Dr. Goldman to family and friends, and if I ever need surgery again, I would go to Dr. Goldman.

Dr. Goldman is truly excellent, for not only is he brilliant but he is also caring, concerned, and kind. I don't know of a better surgeon, and I have seen many.
