“Wonderful experience. Dr. Goldman is clearly very experienced and a wealth of knowledge. He spent a lot of time going over my concerns, more than most doctors offer. I felt at ease knowing he has been in the “business” for a long time and is very knowledgeable. Plus— he didn’t push any products on me. You can tell he runs the practice with integrity. 100% recommend.” - Kali-Ray S.
“Goldman Dermatology is conveniently located just outside of World Trade Center and is a clean, organized and friendly office! I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Helen Radoszycski, and she was very thorough, attentive, professional, and helpful. She answered all of my questions and presented a thoughtful, effective plan to address my skin concerns. I would highly recommend her!” - Alison T.
“Dr. Goldman's office is top notch. Beginning with the ease of scheduling, to being seen at the time the appointment was scheduled, to a very friendly and efficient front staff to skilled nursing help, the visit with Dr. Goldman was first rate. He is a skilled, physician who listens well to his patients and really knows his medicine. Can't recommend this practice highly enough. Richard Beck” - Richard B.
