-
National Jewish Health Patient – May, 2025
We made a care plan together
-
National Jewish Health Patient – May, 2025
I wish there had been more discussion of next steps. For example, after the appointment I found out that several tests were being scheduled for me but no direct discussion during the appointment of what they were or why they were being scheduled.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – May, 2025
Good communication

-
National Jewish Health Patient – March, 2025
This is the first time I seen this doctor, he was attentive, I wish we had more of a discussion since he is new to me. I am sure the next time I see him he will have more to say
-
National Jewish Health Patient – March, 2025
Dr. Goldstein is a kind and caring Pulmonologist. He took time to go over my CT scan in detail and we discussed the results. I had several questions and he took the time to answer each one. He is fantastic.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – March, 2025
He was attentive & Very professional.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – February, 2025
He is an excellent doctor. But I have been trying to bring an issue which is how it would be in the future if I have to discontinue the medication. He seems not to understand that despite of how well the medication works, and that it has to be maintained, My life conditions might change and I am trying to think ahead of time.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – February, 2025
This was the worst experience with a Dr I have ever had. He did not ask me any questions, check anything (lungs etc) did not offer any options or referrals - I received zero information regarding my health issues and he had zero concern. I cannot believe a dr like this is employed by National Jewish
-
National Jewish Health Patient – February, 2025
Words fail me. I'm a huge fan.

-
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2025
Dr. Goldstein is amazing! He is compassionate as well as professional. He listened to my questions and concerns and addressed each one, talking "to" me and not "at" me. I would willingly recommend him to anyone and consider him an asset to National Jewish Health.

-
National Jewish Health Patient – January, 2025
Professional and listened to my questions.
-
National Jewish Health Patient – December, 2024
I waited longer for my appointment to start than the doctor spent in the exam room with me. He asked me maybe 2 questions and then felt my lymph nodes without telling me he was going to touch me. It felt very rushed poor patient concern. I had never been to a sleep doctor before so I didn't know what to expect.

-
National Jewish Health Patient – October, 2024
Dr. Goldstein seemed bored and uninterested. I've seen him 2 previous times. He was the same way then. I guess that's his "bedside manner".
-

-
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.

National Jewish Health Patient – April, 2024
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!

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
