  • Patient Testimonials

    • Katie Eagle River, AK 10.11.23

      Dr. Goldstein is an extremely talented and compassionate doctor. Before and after our daughter's surgery, she took time to explain and encourage us. She always wanted to make sure all our questions were answered and was very kind and humble. We are so thankful for her and her team!!

    • Stacy Bellingham Washington 12.31.21

      I can’t say enough on how much we appreciated Dr. Goldstein. She is one of the best of the best. We had the absolute pleasure of having Dr. Goldstein on our daughter’s surgical team for her temporal lobectomy. She made our family feel relaxed in such a stressful time. She was so thorough in answering all our questions before surgery and took the time after surgery to answer additional questions. To say that we will miss her is such an understatement. We couldn’t have asked for a better surgical team. We are so thankful!
