Heidi E Goldberg's Online Review Report Card

amazing doctor! very nice and helpful

I have read all these reviews. All the negative ones are all correct that you wait a long time to see her but that is why all of us who have gone to her for a few years already know to bring a book, or at least call to check in and see how far behind she is. Dr. Goldberg treats you like family. She remembers your name AND she happens to be the best gastroenterologist in our area. She is a no nonsense Dr. whose goal is to get you and your condition better. I would not go anywhere else. I don't care how long I have to wait. She has done more for me and my other family members to treat us, and we have all immensely improved under her care. Doctors today are reimbursed at such a low rate anymore from insurance companies, you should be angry at the insurance company not the Dr. For you newbies that walked out, if she was spending all that un-rushed time on you, would you be upset? Too bad for you is all I have to finish up with.

It's typically a 4 hour wait the day of your appt. Also, you have to pay up front with cash or check (she refuses to pay credit card companies their little 3%).. I've ALWAYS been over charged for everything from the DR visit ($250. But my insurance says I only owe $64.). It's the same with colonoscopies, I pay almost $2,000 out of pocket but my insurance claim shows I only owe $700..00. It's exhausting trying to get my money back. I'd get a check in the mail at the end of the year for $250. then I'd get a bill for $120.00, then another small check, then another bill and so on and so on. Also the TV that was recently (2019ish) installed in the waiting room just plays a 15 min repeated video, theres no cable or satellite. Theres plenty of other Gastro Drs out there so you dont have to put up with this early 20th century environment.

Thoughtful and knowledgeable care with a doctor who has gone above and beyond to made my care a priority. Most grateful to Dr. Goldberg.

She’s definitely old school. She does NOT take debit or credit. Cash or check (check?!?!) only. Knows she’s the doc and you’re the patient and you can wait til she’s ready. She is who she is. Guaranteed “who knows?” eye-rolls when you ask anyone where she is. If you want modern, state-of-the-art medicine, she’s not for you. If you’re good with a Mayberry-style knowledgeable and respected doctor, bring your phone and be prepared to cool your jets.

I made my appt over a month ahead of time. The day before my appt.the office called to confirm and asked that I call 45 minutes prior to see if the doc was running on time or not. I called and was told to stay home until they called back which they did at 4pm. I went in, was checked in, paid my copay by check because they only accept checks or cash and was put in an exam with paperwork to fill out. It was not even 4:30pm.The room was old and very dusty and the sun was beating into the room which made it quite warm. The window had vertical blinds but had so many pieces missing there was no way to block the sun. I sat in the room until 6pm waiting with no one ever checking in on me or offering any kind of update. I walked out. Based on that experience I would not want Dr Goldberg as my doctor. If she is known to take time with her patients and is always running behind why don’t they adjust their appointments accordingly? And why doesn't her staff check on the patients when they are sitting and waiting? My time is just as valuable as hers.

Dr Goldberg is the Best of the Best. Worth the wait because she spends time with every patient. 20 years of the best care.

Superb. Excellent, careful, caring and simply the best Dr in her specialty in FL.

Listens and asks probing questions

If you only get scoped once every 5 - 10 years, make sure you get a physician like Dr. Goldberg., Even if you have to wait a bit.   She is so thorough and once you do get back with her you will be in the best of care.  She is worth the wait!
