National Jewish Health Patient – May, 2024
Dr. Goldstein is an excellent provider.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – May, 2024
He came in and acted like he didn't know why I was there.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – May, 2024
Dr. Goldstein is worth his weight in gold (sorry, pun intended!!). As ever, he is attentive, listens closely, is extremely knowledgable, communicates clearly, answers all of my questions, lays out a thorough treatment plan & offers encouragement. He successfully elevated a rather unique Issue for me regarding a research study I am involved in & then was extremely modest In downplaying his role In the ultimate resolution. I feel extremely fortunate to be one of his patients.

Compared with other providers I have encountered at NJH Dr. Goldstein ranks pretty low. He hardly looked at me, didn't express any interest in my heakth. Seemed very rushed.

-
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2024
Dr. Goldstein as well as the nurse, receptionist there in person & on the phone were all very respectful, professional, personable & caring. Everyone I came onto contact with (including the valet parking guys) were excellent representatives or "ambassadors" on your highly regarded National Jewish Health Sustem. I now am beginning to understand why you/National Jewish Health are held In such high esteem !!!
-
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2024
Would not recommend this physician to anyone.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2024
Dr. Goldstein is an excellent physician.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2024
The doctor was very dismissive. I arrived with sleep results from another doctor and was prepared for my visit. I had scheduled the appt. specifically with explanations of what tests I had one. The doctor would only tell me I needed another sleep study.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2024
I'm very happy with my Dr!

National Jewish Health Patient – December, 2023
Dr Goldstein is the best! He is my hero
-
National Jewish Health Patient – December, 2023
Dr. Goldstein explained very clearly the sleep study data. He explained the differences between OSA and CSA and how CPAP could help with them. He made sure I understood and didn't have any additional questions before concluding the appointment.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – November, 2023
Care provider seemed Pre-occupied
-
National Jewish Health Patient – November, 2023
Dr. Goldstein seemed to understand my condition and advised me to monitor my condition and return to NJH if necessary.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – November, 2023
The whole experience has been exemplary
-
National Jewish Health Patient – November, 2023
I especially liked viewing the computer screen together with all physicians as we reviewed my health information. Together! As a team!
-
National Jewish Health Patient – November, 2023
There were no treatment plans or discussions until after he saw the Tests
-
National Jewish Health Patient – June, 2023
Time taken was totally focused on my health status & not rushed. All issues thoroughly reviewed & questions thoroughly answered. I felt I was the sole focus of the MD's attention.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – June, 2023
Dr Goldstein Is excellent and I'm blessed to have him as my pulmonologist.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – June, 2023
He rushed the whole appointment and I didn't feel comfortable with him.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – June, 2023
Excellent doctor. THe reason we flew back to Denver!
-
National Jewish Health Patient – May, 2023
Dr Goldstein spent a lot of time with me, explaining in detail everything that I asked. I did leave wondering exactly what my future would likely be with my current level of bronchiectasis -- he wasn't very clear about that.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – May, 2023
*Dr. Goldstein explained things better than anyone else had. He really listened to my concerns and is trying to find the root cause of the problems -
-
National Jewish Health Patient – May, 2023
He said he would send prescriptions to my pharmacy but he did not send them.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – May, 2023
Dr goldstein, not a very good listener, only wants to quote clinical views and not listen to what the patient is describing their lung problem to be. Come across as arrogant and uncaring
-
National Jewish Health Patient – April, 2023
Dr Goldstein is great. He listened and helped me understand something that other doctors haven't done. Very kind and helpful.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – April, 2023
In all my 63 years I have never had a doctor spend that much time taking a history and discussing my symptoms.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – April, 2023
I feel he is in a hurry and spends minimal amount of time with me. It would be nice not to feel rushed I would appreciate more time to discuss what is going on with me and long term outlooks. He is a nice man though and likable just in a hurry
-
National Jewish Health Patient – April, 2023
I came to Jewish for Long Covid. Was told it's not long Covid, but no other explanation was given, except it could be in my head.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – April, 2023
Dr. Goldstein was very knowledgeable of my problem. Im a physician too and my going there was worth the travel from xXXX.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – April, 2023
I would have liked more explanations or what to expect.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – March, 2023
Dr. Goldstein is wonderful. I have all confidence in him.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – March, 2023
I call a patient advocate and described in detail the situation as I wanted to request a new physician. Dr. Goldstein was late, didn't acknowledge or apologize, did not answer the question about my vocal cord dysfunction playing a role and I asked him 3 times, he was gone in 10 minutes even though we had an hour scheduled, etc etc
-
National Jewish Health Patient – March, 2023
National Jewish is outstanding. Well worth the 2 hours drive each way
-
National Jewish Health Patient – March, 2023
The Dr treated me like I was a patient at the VA. He came in talk for 5 min and rolled out like he had a golf game to go to. If I want to be treated like at the VA, I would have gone to the VA. I've seen him 3 times, and every time I go in there, it more tests. I need answers, not tests.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – February, 2023
Doctor provided excellent care. He gave me information that will certainly help with my help. He was very knowledgeable about my condition.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – February, 2023
Dr. Goldstein was very professional and very personable. He explained things to me so I could understand them. He listened to me, to my concerns, and he adjusted my testing schedule to meet the needs of my care.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – February, 2023
Dr. Goldstein was friendly, professional, concerned, knowledgeable, and engendered confidence.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – February, 2023

-
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2023
*Dr. Goldstein is always excellent.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – December, 2022
Great eye contact and genuinely invested in my concerns.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – November, 2022
Dr. Goldstein explained what needed to be done (causes, further testing, etc.) very well. Felt comfortable with session.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – November, 2022
I think Dr Goldstein has great knowledge, however, it's pretty clear that test results far outweigh patient experience/symptoms as the prime consideration. It doesn't help me much if my lung volume and ability to empty/refill is good if I'm still wheezing every day.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – November, 2022
I'm still unsure about the outcome of this covid induced disability and what future health will be but after leaving the hospital last week it is 100 percent hopeful if I can stay healthy despite no immune system left.
