UofU Patient May 07, 2013
Excellent
UofU Patient May 06, 2013All the "Good" evaluations probably would have been "Very Good" were it not for the time pressure Dr. Goldston faced
UofU Patient May 05, 2013Dr. Goldston is the nicest Dr. I have seen in a long time. I had hurt my back and he made a special time out of his day to see me due to my injury to ensure that I was taken care of. He took time explaining what was wrong with my back and what we could do to get me out of the pain I was in. I just want to say thanks to Dr. Goldston for the care he has given me and to let you know that all provider should be like him. I think this experience at this clinc tells me that this is a very special clinc and staff. They all seem to be very happy and work very well with each other. This gives me hope for my care. Thank you
UofU Patient May 03, 2013My doctor is certainly my first choice for my medical problem care
UofU Patient May 03, 2013Dr. Goldston is wonderful! I don't know what I would do without him! I appreciate him and his staff very much. There were problems with my insurance/billing but the office staff worked with us so that we could go ahead with my procedure which was very much appreicated. I was in such pain and had driven 3 hours and I really didn't want to have to re-schedule and make a second trip at a later date. I want Dr. Goldston and all the staff to know my appreciation and gratitude!!!

UofU Patient December 17, 2012Dr. Goldston is a wonderful physician. His attitude is one of care and concern. I appreciate him so very mluch.
UofU Patient November 19, 2012I was a little surprised that an MRI done in April was the basis of where to place the injection. That incident had resolved it's self and this was a new incident with somewhat similar indications but not entirely. We didn't have a chance to talk about on going and repetitive incidents in this spinal region. Past surgery was in the L3-L4 region but this treatment was targeted to L4-L5 from what he said. No explanation of the reason for shifting focus was explained.
UofU Patient November 12, 2012Very professional team.
UofU Patient November 05, 2012Dr. Goldston is one of two doctors that I have who patiently describe procedures, answer questions, give explanations, and show the utmost consideration to me and to the concerns that I may have. He is an extremely skilled doctor who I trust without question. I am grateful that I was given his name (from another doctor) as a doctor who could take care of my situation.
