• Dr Goldstone is one of the most compassionate, empathetic, and gentle providers I have ever met. I credit him to being a key player in saving my life in 2021 when he came across me in the ER with necrotizingfaciitis. I have never had a provider meet me where I am at mentally the way he has. 4 years after him helpinh me during the most traumatic event of my life, his empathy and patience has not changed.

• Dr. Goldstone was very, very cordial, very knowledgeable, very helpful. He listened really well and he had a lot of things to say. He was very knowledgeable about the topic. He seemed like he really knew his stuff, which is always good to know. Very, very, a nice person. You know, had a very nice manner to him, worked well with the nurse that was, you know, in with him, you know, doing my visit, the visit with me. And he had a lot of good things to say and a lot of good ideas and, you know, ordered an MRI, which is great because we talked about this has been, I've had a longstanding problem that no one can seem to figure out what's wrong. So he did have some ideas and so he wanted to research a little bit more. So had the office schedule and call me to schedule an MRI or told me how to do it. And it was great.

• Dr Goldstone is incredible. He was so informative, clearly dedicated to his profession and so able and experienced. He patiently explained what he does for an operation like mine. Listening to him was an eye opener. His nurse by comparison...meh. Nice but no helpful info from her. Conversely my consult with the B.I. doc and her nurse was very different. Almost 45 mins w nurse after doc consult where she went over in detail how I would prep for surgery and what to expect post op...etc etc. Having said that Dr. Goldstone covered the some of the same ground. Finally, I had never been a patient at Newton Wellesley. Its the craziest quagmire I've ever experienced so no thank you. Ill be doing my surgery at B.I. downtown.
