Richard S Goldstein

Good having pain and found a Polyp then removed it

Doctor didn't wear mask during Covid Pandemic. When I inquired, he said it was a media and political (Democrat) overblown hype.. it is just a flu. I found out (from an outside source and not the doctor or his office) that he contracted Covid a week after seeing me. I found out 3 weeks later. I asked why he did not call me for tracing or to warn all I came into contact with and he said "they" told him he had too many patients and told him it was "too much work". I called the Pa. Dept. of Health and St. Mary's Hospital (where he works" and found out this was not true...that they would have demanded he call all he came into contact with. He may be a good doctor but this was very unprofessional, borderline immoral and quite dangerous! His political views should not affect his patient care! I do not like to criticize but this was way out of bounds!

Doctor didn't wear a mask into exam room during COVID pandemic. Didn't wash hands when he came into room. I can't get into details with respect to privacy issues, but Dr. Goldstein was incompetent and put my life, as well as his other patients live, in jeopardy by not taking proper safety precautions during the pandemic.

I saw this doctor a few years back and I was not happy with him or his staff. Considering the problem I had was supposed to be his expertises, he failed to diagnose it.
