Dr. Goldman is wonderful! He explains the procedure thoroughly and allows patients to ask questions. He is extremely knowledgeable about his field of medicine. His wait times for office visits are about 15 minutes or so. His staff is friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. I had an extremely good experience with both Dr. Goldman and his staff. I highly recommend him!

I suffered from an internal hemorrhoid grade 2, an external one grade 4, and a fissure that opened up to the gates of hell. I went to six doctors around Asheville, Hendersonville, and greenville. Not one had a complete non surgical plan that worked on all three problems. Dr. Goldman patiently listened to my issues took time to understand how it was effecting my quality of life. He then presented. A three part non surgical treatment to fix all three. He was accurate and responsible in describing how each part would help cure ... read more

If you are looking for someone to be your BFF, Dr. Goldman is not the guy. But if you want expertise and someone to address your colo-rectal issues in a professional and effective way, then you've found the right guy. I've been to see him twice for my hemorrhoids and he has taken care of my issues effectively. I don't need a friend. I want a qualified doctor ... and Dr. Goldman is knowledgeable and effective at what he does.

The banding procedures performed were done during an office visit, were painless, and enabled me to not have any downtime. Even though I had to have multiple procedures done over a few months, the benefit of not having hemorrhoid surgery was invaluable.

Dr. Goldman took the time to explain my diagnosis, the treatment he was administering, the prognosis, and the expected recovery time. He answered all of my questions and we even had a few laughs. I'd highly recommend and I'll be seeing him again should I have any flare ups.

I never knew about Hemorrhoids, until after child birth. I started having stomach issues a few years later due to my gallbladder and it made my hemorrhoids worse as time went on. It is very uncomfortable on a day to day basis, especially when you have responsibilities to tend to. I came to Dr. Goldman for the ligation treatment vs horrific surgery. I can tell you it has been a great experience to feel less irritated by the swelling and pain/discomfort that hemorrhoids cause, all by just a simple rubber band. I recommend you ... read more

This guy is running a scam. Many more visits than he initially said I would need and the hemorrhoids are still there and painful as ever. I know he took advantage of me.

Worst bedside manner of any doctor I have ever encountered. Literally walked out of the room while I was in the middle of asking a question. Spent TWO minutes in the room then immediately left (with every appt). Gave basically no explanation of what he was doing/why it needed to be done. Did not AT ALL communicate the level of pain or what to expect after the procedure. Gave me no instructions on how to recover- I had to research everything myself to figure out what to do- which OTC meds to take, to prop up feet, use aloe, t... read more

Dr. Goldman is the greatest!!!! I have suffered with painful hemorrhoids for years. During my consultation Dr. Goldman explained all that needed to be done and how many appointments it would take for everything to look and feel normal. He was kind, informative, and gentle. He provided exactly what he said he would and I look and feel great! It was an in office procedure and I should have done this a long time ago.
