Very good neurosurgeon. Experienced, kind, and a true professional.

Dr. Goldsmit preformed a spinal fusion on me this past Dec after an accident which happened early Nov. I had to wait 6 weeks before he could schedule the surgery due to the fact he takes vacation every few weeks, 0which resulted in a burst fracture. Since my surgery I had 2 ER visits for acute pain, sciatica, and pain now in my left hip. I saw DR Goldsmit for my 5 month follow up and was trying to explain the difficulty I am dealing with on a daily basis everyday since my accident, instead he was arguing with me that the surgery was a success, I am completely healed, no further follow visits needed and opened the door while I was speaking to him so I could leave. This doctor has a huge ego problem and more import to him to feel he preformed a successful surgery than to listen and try to understand the needs of his patient. I asked if he could refer me to another physician who could possibly assist me with the issues I am experiencing and was told he can't do that because a specialist can not make a referral to another specialist , however he forgot he referred me earlier to an endocrinologist. I am very disappointed with my experience and will be contacting the chief of staff of MT Sinai Neurosurgery dept.

When I met Dr Goldsmith I wasn't able to move my left arm and my neck and shoulders were always in chronic pain. After meeting with Dr Goldsmith I decided to have the cervical spine surgery and I cannot begin to tell you the remarkable difference in my life. Dr Goldsmith was and is an amazing doctor with a great personality and a great bedside manner. I would highly recommend Dr Goldsmith to anyone who is suffering with neurological pain.

Excellent Physician. Highly recommended. Even do His Image and the image of many I ther doctors is being put on the line, due to the retrograde scheduling system Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami Beach has in place; and a lot of the non properly trained staff working at many of Doctor's offices, people like me is giving up with MSMC and getting doctors outside the Hospital. Besides that any diagnostic tests and /or X rays you take at the hospital are charged with a copayment for an ambulatory service. Why??? That's outrageous.

Both the office visit and Televisit were outstanding. Dr Goldsmit was thorough and reassuring

Dr. Goldsmith, MD definitely exceeded my expectation! He is very kind, gentle with excellent bedside manners. He is great and very gentle surgeon and he recovered from my suffering!

Leading up to the appointment the office called me twice to let me know that I needed to have CD images of an MRI or X-ray showing something significant. I only had an X-ray that my primary care ordered before referring me out because I needed a specialist to order an MRI. I went in for my scheduled appointment and handed my CD over. The wait was a little longer than what I expected but I later found out that it was because the doctor refused to see me based on the images. He sent his physicians assistant; Patricia in to see me. She kept asking me the same set of questions repeatedly as if my first set of answers were insufficient. Afterwards she went out into the hallway to have a conversation about me with another staff member. I overheard her telling the person that she didn't know if I was lying and that she wanted to get me off her case. She came back into the room and I politely declined any further assistance, I confronted her about what she said, and I asked to speak to the office manager. Given my history of injuries to the spine, given that the pain shifted from moderate to severe I was shocked that this happened.
