Dr. Goldstein was very helpful, very informative. He was just fantastic. I mean, you can't ask for any better. I'd had five doctors. Everybody had a different opinion, but he seemed to know exactly what I needed and what needed to be done for me. So I was very happy with him. Thank you.

Dr. Goldstein is highly professional, knowledgeable, caring and attentive Cardiologist. He went over my cardiac bypass surgery which was done 20 years ago prior to seeing me to refresh his memory about the complication I had during that surgery. I don't know another doctor who would take time and efforts to do that. The quality of care this specialist provides is superior to any other experiences I had.

I was impressed with Dr Goldstein overall on all counts besides what I was there for, he not only answered all my questions in a understanding and calming way, he also took time to explain some other health concerns and how some medications would elevate blood sugar/pressure spikes. I wish I could put him in my pocket and whenever I have a concerned question or something is bothering me, I could get a quick response with explanation like he does so well. I realize we are all human and do not have all the answers, however I was very happy with meeting Dr Michael Goldstein and having him as my Cardiologist! Thank you

Unable to speak with the doctor between visits of six month appointment. Nurses relayed my concerns and questions to the doctor about 3 or 4 times during the six months and returned my calls very promptly after consulting with the doctor. My questions were answered but it is disconcerting to be unable to speak with the doctor for half a year.

My experience with Dr Goldstein was amazing. He is my new cardiologist since mine retired. However, 10 years ago Dr Goldstein was the surgeon who inserted my pacemaker. He was extremely thorough, listen to my questions & concerns. When reviewing my tests, Dr Goldstein noticed from a test a year ago that I have some plaque in my artery & ordered a stress test. I feel so blessed to have him as my new cardiologist & know I'm in goods hands!!

Dr G was exceptional in caring for me. He payed attention last year and was very thorough. This year, he referenced last year and tied it together to this year's appointment. Again he suggested losing weight in a very nice way, even with a little humor. When I asked how much we were talking about, he was fabulous! He said, how about ten pounds, which is very manageable. We both know I need to lose more than ten pounds, but he helped create a manageable goal. If I only am trying for ten pounds, I can do that. Then possibly another ten pounds. His attitude was refreshing and a just a little humorous, and very realistic. I appreciated him so much during and following my appointment.
