I had been going to Dr. Goliat for the last 15 years. Although he has since retired, I’ve not been able to find another like him. He is truly everything you could want in a doctor- a good listener, compassionate, intelligent, and genuinely cares about the well being of his patients. I wish him well in his retirement and I’m forever grateful to him for saving my sons life.

Dr. Goliat is the best doctor I've ever had. He is one of the very few doctors that actually cares about his patients and is smart enough to provide an accurate diagnosis. The world would be a much better place if we had more doctors like him.

Dr Goliat was a doctor who you KNEW would take of you. The day after surgery I woke up at 5:30 AM, there he was, standing in the window - looking out, waiting for me to wake up. I couldn't believe my eyes, but knew I was with the BEST doctor. Miss him, wish him much happiness and good health in his retirement years.

Without hesitation I do and will continue to recommend Dr. Steven Goliat. My wife and I have been privileged to be his patients for many, many years. Iâ??ve not met a more thorough, compassionate and caring doctor. He is clearly interested in his patients, as he takes time to listen, consider and answer any and all questions we may have. He is a talented professional who earns even greater respect with every visit.

My husband and I have gone to Dr. Goliat for probably 20+ years. We're always able to get in and he has always been on the money with what is wrong and things get taken care of right away. He's very pleasant to be around and I just hope he doesn't retire any time soon!

I have been a patient of Dr. Goliat since 1987. I have never met a doctor who cares more for his patients and always has time to listen to what you are saying. In my opinion, you will not find a better or more thoughtful doctor. I would trust my life to him and I have.
