Adam B. Goldin, MD, MPH

Dr. Goldin is one of those special sorts of doctor that graces a family's life. My son has a complex grouping of birth defects, so we see many medical professionals, doctors and even surgeons. Dr. Goldin's care, not just for the patient, but for the entire family is a fantastic testament to his caring personality. When we were faced with delaying an important surgery again due to scheduling (and no fault of our own), Dr. Goldin stood up for us and helped the arrangements be made. He consistently took the time to explain complex procedures in detail and in ways that were easy to understand. We were in his care for four months, through a few "bumps" and scares, and he always made our family feel as though he genuinely cared for and remembered us. It was certainly a day of mixed emotions when he told us we no longer needed him. Thank you, Dr. Goldin (and Alexander's "site" still looks fabulous!)

We met Dr. Goldin on our baby girl's 8th day of life in a very stressful, emergent situation. Dr. Goldin was very caring and honest about the procedure our daughter had to go through. We weren't sure she would survive the night or the surgery. He told us he would do his very best and kept us updated throughout the procedure. When he finally came out, he said that she made it through like a champ and she was doing better than expected. He did another surgery a couple of months later and treated us just as well as when we first met. Throughout our long stay with Children's he followed our baby girl's progress and now at 18 months old- she is doing amazingly well. I honestly do not think she would be with us today if it wasn't for Dr. Goldin. I can't say enough about him.

We are so thankful to Dr. Goldin and his kind, caring attitude toward our daughter during her consultation, surgeries and follow up visits. Dr. Goldin makes you feel that you are the only patient he will see that day taking all the time we needed to answer our questions with patience and kindness. During a big mess up on the part of our insurance company, Dr. Goldin called me personally to express his concern and to set up care for our daughter at Seattle Children's Hospital. Post surgery, he again called personally to make sure our daughter was doing well. We were very fortunate to have had our daughter in the care of this excellent man and very fine surgeon.

I cannot speak the name Adam Goldin without tears welling up in my eyes. What a blessing he was and still is to my son, Micah, and myself. If you need specifics, please feel free to write to my email. He is kind, caring, extremely intelligent and very good at what he does. He will not perform any surgery unless he knows for certain it will work and he spends hours in research prior to surgery of any kind. He explains everything in detail and makes certain that everyone is on the same page prior to making any decisions. He is also very gentle and takes the time to listen to everyone's needs and respects that. He has a place in our hearts forever. We love Dr. Goldin and miss him very much.
