Dr. Harold L Goldstein

The office visit was quick, he didn't take time to properly inspect my child's problem. He was recommended to us as a pediatric podiatrist; obviously, though, he was either having a bad day or doesn't like kids (which my son noticed right away: "I don't think he was happy to see us."). He misdiagnosed my son's issue with Sever's disease, even though my son's heel didn't hurt at all. We now saw someone else who correctly saw my son's obvious overpronation and offered over the counter orthotics. I am NOT recommending him.

Unfortunately, I found Dr. Goldstein dismissive, disinterested and told me things I knew but not what I went to him about. Explanation and evaluation was lacking. The doctor never got closer than 5 feet (no pun intended) from me and certainly did not look at what I was actually there for. And I paid since I was still meeting deductible. I also paid with with my time and energy. Especially since walking is difficult for me. Which brings me back to why I was there.

I have seen Dr. Golstein for 4 years. He is a level-headed, competent, compassionate and kind professional who addresses my concerns at every appointment and answers all of my questions. I highly recommend him.

This visit was for an evaluation of my orthotics. Once the Dr. and l wish I could say he was one looked at me he said, “ Why do you need new ones. these are fine.” My orthotics are 8 years old and the foam is coming off the middle. I told him this and he said with a gruff delivery “ Oh, that's just the foam coming off.” He was rude sarcastic, condescending, and very irritable! I know hear that this man is getting horrible reviews from his other patients. Take heed, sir you are not the only one in your profession. You would be wise to change your ways.

From the people who answer the phones to the reception desk to the doctor, they were terrific! I thought he was smart and pleasant. I’m a psychologist myself and I appreciate good patient care.

Positive experience. Professional and polite. Fairly painless procedure and immediate relief. Short wait time.
