Seeing the other review regarding Dr. Goldstein, I felt prompted to post my own experiences with this place. While I fortunately didn't receive any sermons while I was there (someone in the next room over did though...), I can second the statements that Dr. Goldstein seemed disinterested in listening to anything I had to say regarding any of the problems I was having. The examination felt very rushed, as if he had already decided what was wrong without even speaking to or examining me in any way. (This, of course, turned out to be wrong.) At the end of the examination, I felt belittled and upset that I hadn't received any proper diagnosis, and indeed I will need to seek care at another doctor soon. To top things off, after this was all done, he proceeded to speak with a family member nearby, saying some very inappropriate things. Neither of us were pleased by this, and found it very unprofessional. I can't speak for the other doctors working there, but overall I would just stay away, it's probably not worth the risk.
Pros: Other staff was friendly.
Cons: No worthwhile treatment or examination recieved, unprofessional doctor.

I have never had a worse experience when seeing a doctor. Dr. Goldstein was his name, and apparently he has been there for just a couple of months. Let me start off by saying that I never write reviews about anything, but I felt that I needed to in this case to save others from experiencing the trauma that I went through this morning with him. First off, he started by saying that even though we aren''t the same religion, he could tell that I was a holy man. My first thought about this comment by him was, "What the heck is he talking about? How does he know what religion I am?" In addition, I am not a religious man; if anything, I follow Buddhist principals, and I am somewhat bothered that that this doctor would assume I am holy. The doctor continued by stating that "God led me down this path to see him (Dr. Goldstein)." He then proceeded to give me a hug. The entire experience was very bizzare, and I felt uncomfortable throughout our whole meeting. As soon as I mentioned to the doctor that I suffer from Ankylosing Spondylitis (a form of juvenile arthritis) and that the only thing that I have been taking for it that has been working for me has been Vicodin (as prescribed by my former Rhumatologist), he snapped at me, "Well I won't be prescribing any pain medication to you today." What? I was not even asking for pain medication from him at this point, and merely answering his question. Besides, how is he going to make that decision without even checking me out or asking me any other questions? I felt as if he was yelling at me and accusing me of being a pill abuser before he even bothered to look into my medical history. When I tried to politely tell him that I wasn't asking for pain meds, he wouldn't even let me say that - he just wouldn't let me get a single word in. He practically had me in tears during my visit. I've never had such a negative experience seeing any doctor...ever!
Pros: None
Cons: The doctor thried to preach religion to me during my visit. He also wouldn't listen at all.
