It's really important that doctors listen and be humble, otherwise they might make mistakes. This…read morewas NOT my experience with Dr. Goldberg. Dr. Goldberg did not have a good bedside manner. He was arrogant, he was not a good listener and, in my experience, he did not have empathy. After thinking about my experience with Dr. Goldberg and doing more research, I felt like I should write this review. According to the New York Post, Dr. Goldberg was sued because the infamous anesthesiologist Dr. Brian Goldweber AKA "Dr. Disease" administered anesthesia during procedures in Dr. Goldberg's office! https://nypost.com/2007/06/17/doctor-disease/ According to this court summary "Dr. Goldberg did not independently investigate Dr. Goldweber's qualifications and, instead, relied on Dr. Carni to do so." https://law.justia.com/cases/new-york/other-courts/2012/2012-ny-slip-op-50214-u.html Eventually the case was dismissed because it turned out that the patient did not get sick because of "Dr. Disease." BUT IT BLOWS MY MIND THAT DR. GOLDBERG RELIED ON A THIRD PARTY TO VET HIS ANESTHESIOLOGIST! That's really scary. Imagine if you're having a procedure under anesthesia in an office and something goes wrong. You're not in a hospital setting. Can you imagine if your doctor, who you trusted, did not independently vet the anesthesiologist?!?! There is also an article about Dr. Goldberg in the New York Times that sheds light on my experience. https://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/08/nyregion/enhanced-medical-care-for-an-annual-fee.html According to the article, Dr. Goldberg also runs a "concierge" medical practice in addition to the private practice where I saw him. He once accompanied a patient to an MRI and "held her toe" to comfort her. Give me a break! In my opinion, VIP medicine is not good medicine (Prince, Michael Jackson), and I don't trust doctors who model their practice on VIP medicine. The office was in a convenient location and the receptionist was nice and professional. The waiting room was nicely decorated and people were friendly. I spoke to another patient who was good friends with Dr. Goldberg. I was taken aback by the conversation. Maybe you're thinking "who becomes good friends with their gastro"? Well, it turns out that the patient was friends with Dr. Goldberg first and apparently Dr. Goldberg doesn't have a problem treating his friends. It made me uncomfortable and it felt like Dr. Goldberg doesn't have professional boundaries. Most medical ethicists would agree that doctors shouldn't be treating their friends. But if this is common practice for Dr. Goldberg, it would explain why he has so many good reviews: are his friends writing reviews for him? Because the reviews just don't match up with my experience. Dr. Goldberg does not take insurance. If you're lucky enough to have a PPO and you only care about location, then Dr. Goldberg may be right for you. If you are looking for a patient centric doctor then I would look somewhere else. If you're looking for an "important" doctor, I think there are a lot doctors in the city who have degrees from higher ranked schools than the school that Dr. Goldberg attended or who have impressive positions at hospitals. The best hospitals in the city also offer concierge services for patients who can afford it. So whether you're looking for VIP treatment or whether you are like me and you're just looking for a trustworthy and professional doctor, I think there are much better options out there. No matter what, DO YOUR RESEARCH. I did not know about Dr. Goldberg's association with "Dr. Disease" prior to my visit to his office. If I had, I never would have trusted him.

I called, the kind staffer fit me in the late afternoon and kindly called back to tell me of an earlier cancellation. Seeing Dr. Bernstein was a dream. He sat me down and asked real questions about my life, my family, etc... He really listened. He examined me and gave me sage and funny medical advice. What a wonderful Dr. I grew up with old school docs that were friends of the family for years in IL, they've long retired, or sadly passed -- but Dr. Bernstein is definitely a kind old-school doctor.

I was in NYC with mom for about 3 weeks taking a course. We came all the way from the middle east…read more After arriving to new york, perhaps because of the long flight, she got congested and had a very bad cough. So we went to the nearest City MD near our hotel, the doctor seemed so terrified knowing that we came from the Arab region and started asking about MERS and things that were completely irrelevant to what was happening to her. Not only that, but he immediately prescribed her an antibiotic without any blood tests or thorough check up. So the next day she took the antibiotic + the cough syrup he prescribed her and her situation got worse. Way worse than anyone can imagine. Upon recommendations and reviews we contacted Dr Primas for urgent in-house care and not only did they give us a quick appointment but they also welcomed us to the clinic in case the time was not suitable. I am not going to take longer than I did but he actually asked about her entire medical history and was completely considerate of the entire situation and recommended a treatment only after assessing her medical condition. He usually prefers not to treat his patients with an antibiotic which is what we always prefer as patients so it was perfect. The antibiotic prescribed to her gave her severe effects and nausea so Dr Primas treated her with a shot (injection) and she literally felt better in 5 minutes. He was also kind enough to prescribe me medications to avoid getting a flu while studying for my course in new york city during that period. He also does not charge for follow ups after the first appointment, in case you needed to see him again. I left his clinic so happy and relieved and took her to the park right accross from Dr Primas building for fresh air, and we enjoyed the rest of our time together. If you are reading this, thank you so much again, Dr. I know who to go to, whenever I am in NYC now.
