Allan Goldstein MD

Dr. Goldstein found his calling, and embodies everything I look for in a caregiver. People mention long wait times, but this a by-​product of him spending the necessary amount of time with each patient. Even if he’s already behind, he won’t rush and not listen. He listens to everything, and he looks at you as if he’s genuinely interested in what you’re saying, and takes your feelings into consideration just as much as the physical evidence. No shortcuts, and a genuinely caring guy. He has 100% of my trust and respect.

He is absolutely the best doctor I have ever had.
1. Knowledge: beyond that of any doctor I have ever seen. He not only knew more than anyone else I had seen, but he also could recognize what he didn’t know, and he found out on his own and got back to me. I literally had five different diagnosis from five different doctors. My illness was confusing, and he was the only one to correctly predict what I was going to experience as time went on, and how to deal with (and cure) what I had despite the lack of tests to verifiably diagnose me. He noticed within moments what no other doctor had the insight to detect.
2. Bedside manner: fantastic. I was extremely comfortable. I felt taken care of and respected. He didn’t ever oversimplify or dumb down his diagnosis. He was clear, honest, and helpful in describing what he saw honestly and completely and without unnecessary lingo. He made everything extremely easy on me (He partly filled out forms for me so I didn’t have to figure it out and he mailed them to me at my apartment (name, type of care etc). It was incredible how caring and how important it was to me!) They really made a great effort to make you comfortable, and give you mental ease while you’re sick.
3. Wait time: Above and beyond. I always came in in the morning if I had an appointment, but there were times when I was sick with a fever and just called in hoping to see someone sometime that day. They always got me in right away with maybe a 10 minute wait! It was fantastic.
I can’t speak highly enough about Dr. Goldstein! I am super hard to please and kinda critical in general, but that is especially true when I’m sick. Dr. Goldstein was fantastic. I never had to worry about anything from billing to accurate information to staff remembering my history, to paperwork, to general caring atmosphere, and most of all I had confidence finally that he knew his stuff, and I was going to get well after quite a lot of searching!
My highest recommendation goes to him!

Dr. Goldstein has a patient manner and takes the time to explain what’s going on with your sinuses instead of just giving you meds. Try to get an appointment first thing in the morning though else you’ll likely have a long wait.

I could not agree more that Dr. Goldstein definitely has quite the personality ~ or maybe that is just with the ladies? Funny, as I am a married gentile woman in my 40s, I never entertained the thought of an older Jewish man… But he is quite funny and rather charming, especially when the chaos of the day finally calms down in his office. He looks you right in the eye when he speaks to you and he notices little things that either other people don’t observe or don’t take the time to mention.
Now on to the review: The first time I went to his office I waited for hours, as they were so far behind schedule and my appointment was still mid morning. He did take the time to send me for the tests I necessary; nevertheless, he was unable to diagnose what my particular problem was. He was actually baffled. As the other Unilocaler indicated, he did not issue and Rx unnecessarily, which is always appreciated and he okayed my to fly.
He scheduled a follow-​up appointment and sent me for repeat tests, same results and still no idea of what the problem with me ears is. «We», and I say we, because I have been looking for answers as well, have looked into drug interactions and other factors and have been unable to come up with anything. Yet, the problem persists.
I have my third appointment coming up soon. If he does not find a solution to my ongoing ear problem (this has been 10 months) ~ I am going to break up with him…
