“The person designated as the pre-op point of contact not very responsive but everyone else was beautiful. Dr. Goldman is mellow and confidence-inspiring as was his PA Laura, who seems like she could be a surgeon herself. All the others were easy and pleasant. It's a hard procedure to recover from, but the staff made it as painless as possible.”

He listened to my concerns and at the time of surgery as far as I could remember, he focused on providing me with his full attention and the full attention of all the staff that was in the operating room.

“From the start, everyone I dealt with at Tri-County was professional, courteous and caring. Dr. Goldman explained the procedure fully. Since my surgery. I feel great. I forgot what it was like to walk without excruciating pain. I followed the PT Dr. Goldman prescribed and I could see my progress daily. I started walking 1/2 mile daily within a few weeks after my surgery. I now can take 2 mile walks without any problems and 4 miles on weekends. I'm back to my previous activities. Dr. Goldman did a fantastic job, and all my progress would have been wasted if I didn't follow the PT that Dr. Goldman prescribed. Thank you, Dr. Goldman!”

“I only have good things to say about my experience with Dr. Goldman and Tri County Orthopedics. From my first visit through to my last visit, everyone is so efficient and friendly and professional. They are well organized and the experience in Morristown Hospital was very good as well. The new Davino section of the hospital and the nursing staff are wonderful. They were really helpful and attentive and taught me some tricks to help get out of bed and use the bathroom. The whole experience has been enlightening. I am pleased with every aspect of my knee replacement and intend to go back after I'm healed to have the other knee replaced.”

“I saw Dr Goldman in September for my chronic knee condition. We agreed to do the knee injections of hyaluronic acid for now before any knee replacement. We did the injections in October. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I did not have to have 3 injections per knee as I have had in the past. His technique to administer the injections was also a surprise from what I had experienced in the past. There was very little pain. So far my knees have been feeling fine. I am hoping these shots last awhile.”

“I have been seeing Dr. Goldman for a number of years. He was my surgeon when I had a double knee replacement 7 years ago. I tell people that Dr. Goldman gave my life back to me. He ensured that I understood what the surgery would entail and what I could expect post surgery. I admire his clear explanations and feel he cares about his patients and their outcomes. My daughter, who lives out of state, was impressed that he took the time to call her, himself, after my surgery, to assure her all had gone well. I have recommended Dr. Goldman and Tri-County to a number of friends contemplating surgery. He's the best!”

“I went to see Dr. Goldman seeking second opinion in March,2016. I have come to him highly recommended by a colleague. I was anxious and just needed to trust someone about my knees and find a suitable solution to my problem. The fist thing that Dr. Goldman did for me was to ease my anxiety and explained that I have three options. I decided to go with option number 3, which was bilateral knee replacement. Now I wanted to be inform and take control of everything ahead of me. I know I'm not the typical patient because I work in healthcare, but I knew from the moment I met Dr. Goldman that I was in the right hands. After all I have spent the last 4 years with the debilitating pain and agony of severe arthritis in both knees and frankly I was at my breaking point. We decided on June 9th and Morristown Hospital will be the place to be for me. I received a package with instructions for all my pre-op tests but more important I was referred to a class that provided me with immense details about surgery, from what to bring to the hospital and what to expect after surgery. I still have one more surprise from Dr. Goldman; one day after surgery in a clear morning I was scheduled to have my dressings remove and I was really impressed to discover that no other but Dr. Goldman came on a Saturday morning to finish the job. I have no words to describe how good I felt knowing that this incredible orthopedic surgeon has come himself on this morning. Then it was recovery road and lots of hard work with physical therapy; but I knew by the time of my follow-up visit that I was on my way to full recovery. I know that a great man is only as great as the people around him, so I feel and I have to mention the incredible people in that office, the from front desk, the x-ray technician, the surgical scheduler and every one involved with the patients. I still remember my last appointment ,when Dr. Goldman told me it was not necessary to come back and I felt that I regained my freedom of mobility .Six months later I have only gratitude and my health to be thankful.”
