Dr. Goldstein is an exceptional physician. She really cars about your health and listen to your every concern. I'm so glad that I am able to be one of her patients along with my family members. Thank you for being an amazing doctor who cares about the needs of her patients.
She is the best doctor and she is uniquely suited to helping with my needs. She did everything that she could to make me feel comfortable and to feel that her recommendation would be an excellent fit for me personally. We discussed all concerns and she made sure I understood and was informed and confident with the treatment plan. Every doctor should strive to approach patient care with the same knowledge, bedside manner, and expertise as Dr. Goldstein.
Dr Goldstein was very patient, listened to me, and gave me all the information that I needed. I feel very fortunate to have found her.
Dr. Goldstein is the best provider at Family Medicine.
It was a good patient experience from the the young man greeted me and checked me in (I don't remember his name) to Rona the nurse, to Dr. Goldstein's excellent care, and to Brenda who checked me out. Everything was great.
[...] went above and beyond the expectation. She explained everything to me. She was real patient, and she gave me feedback, everything, and made sure I understood. She was excellent and very, very, very thorough. Tell her to keep the good work up, and she'll (INAUDIBLE) to the hospital. Have a blessed day. Thank you. Yeah, everything went well. Excellent. Above and beyond expectation.
My PCP of over 30 years recently left his practice at Village Medical and after being very disappointed with two potential PCP's there I was referred to Dr. Goldstein by a very good friend of mine and I was not disappointed. She exceeded my expectations and I am so relieved to finally find someone who truly seems to care!
It was excellent all the way.
All staff showed good professional treatment toward my medical conditions. THANKS
The appointment itself was overwhelming, there were 5 people plus myself in one room. Usually I'm okay with medical students shadowing, but this particular day it was difficult for me to speak clearly or share my symptoms because I felt watched and nervous which in fact hindered my overall care treatment. I was also advised by my nurse to keep my symptoms short and vague due to time constraints - all of which were attached to my appointment reason.
Dr Goldstein is one of the best physicians I've ever had. They are a wonderful human
I got all the referrals at the meeting. That was really cool, but I realize that I needed more than one visit, especially for allergy because I see them routinely monthly and then almost a month where I see them four times and such and such, and when I did respond to the checkout lady and the portal, I just haven't heard back so I wish that was a better.
She is wonderful. I love her. She explains things very, very nicely. She's a very caring person, especially with seniors, that I am a senior citizen, and she cares what happens. She's just absolutely wonderful. Thank you.
Good experience, good service
Staff was very friendly and helpful
As always Dr Goldstein is thorough, knowledgeable and kind.
Dr. Goldstein and the other providers who helped with my visit are quite competent.
it is always a learning experience to help my provider help myself. i find each visit challenging on how i can benefit from my visit.
Dr. Goldstein is an excellent provider and she listens carefully. She acknowledges concerns and does an amazing job at providing feedback. She caring and compassionate and just overall great at working through issues to find the best solutions. She takes the time to explain and answer any questions.
Another patient was loudly and persistent y distracting the office staff when I arrived, but the lady told me I was checked in. I WAS...for an appt 3 hours later. So I sat and waited over an hour. Nothing. So I enquired about my appt. With Dr. Goldstein. Turns out I had never checked in for that visit, and was now late. She worked me in very graciously. I prefer talking to a human at check in, but will do self check in from now on. Also I don't have the patience or skills or DESIRE to let my phone tell them I am in the building.
They wonderful and very care for me
She a good doctor
Fantastic provider. She always willing to listen to patient and family.
Dr. Goldstein was the best PCP that I have ever encountered in my life. I used to not even have a consistent PCP because I didn't feel like they cared for me as a person at all and Dr. Goldstein definitely does. Besides, I feel like I can trust her with any of the next decisions about my treatment and care. I feel like she not only knows medicine and the best practices, but she also has a wonderful approach to patients where she makes that connection that a lot, a lot, a lot of doctors don't. I really appreciate her. Thank you so much for having Dr. Goldstein.
Maria and Dr. Goldstein is so polite I always enjoy my visit.
Dr Shira Goldstein and her assistant are excellent in every way. Dr Shira Goldstein is extraordinary!!!!
Everyone was kind. Signage was clear so that I could find my way without difficulty. Test results were available quickly, as were prescriptions and follow up appointments. The facility was pleasant. Waiting room chairs comfortable. Pleasant.
She was a very concerning provider who cared about my well-being. Thank you.
Excellent
Dr. Goldstein is a gem. I've already recommended her to family and friends and will continue to do so.
