Review

 

Mr Goldberg is a rare find – kind, brilliant, and he truly listens. Our daughter was in constant pain. Everyone told us it was “just flat feet” – but she couldn’t run, dance, or enjoy being a child. Mr Goldberg saw what others missed. He operated as a day case. Now she’s pain-free, dancing again, and smiling. He gave us our daughter back.

Mr Goldberg is unlike most orthopaedic surgeons. He listens, he cares and most importantly he is extremely knowledgeable. Whilst many of the dismissive comments made to me by other surgeons left me feeling despondent and hopeless, Mr Goldberg gave me a fresh ray of hope that something can be done. I only wish I had seen him first.

This man is pretty much everything you want from your surgeon. Excellent bedside manner, extensive and comprehensive experience - a good communicator. He freed me from decades of pain with my arthritic ankle with a total ankle replacement. It's coming up for 5 months now since the operation and I'm well on my way to pain free walking. All post op pain has been soft tissue - there was extensive ligament work needed and my Achilles tendon had not been stretched properly for years. All those issues are being worked on with the physio and in the gym. Every time I walk up a hill pain free, I say a little thank you to you. Mr Goldberg - you are the ''go to guy" for ankles without a doubt and in the nicest possible way, I hope I never see you again!!

I have suffered in pain in my ankle for years and doctors wanted to fuse my ankle stiff so I held off until I turned 54 and then couldn’t put up with the pain any longer. Two surgeons told me that a fusion was the only option for me. Then my chiropractor advised me to see Dr Goldberg, and I am so glad I did - he is such a nice, genuine person and a real expert in his field. He told me an ankle replacement was possible but only if I had my ligaments repaired as my ankle was tilted. I trusted him and his team and he did an amazing job and now I’m back to going on long walks and even got back on my Ski’s last month and am now 56 and have my life back.

Had in-depth discussions with Andy regarding two particular complex patients. He gave a fresh perspective and outlook previously not offered and this was to the advantage of both patients and translated into very good outcomes. This is a surgeon who thinks outside the box and he's also particularly personable. A true professional, outstanding colleague and would highly recommend.

I had my bunions done by Dr Goldberg and definitely recommend him. My ugly feet are beautiful now and I am able to wear high heels again . Thank you so much.

I am so impressed by Dr Goldberg. I ruptured my right Achilles’ tendon and saw him as an emergency last December. The care was spectacular as was his and his teams attention to detail. He advised me I could be treated without surgery in a Vacuum Boot and he sent me a full guide which was my bible and so I knew what to expect and when including when I would be back driving and when I would be back to work and sport. The journey took a long 12 weeks but I felt completely informed and now i feel my function is almost perfect on the right ankle. The reason I’m not quite perfect is that 6 years ago I tore my left Achilles’ tendon (the other one) and saw another doctor and he operated and the communication was shoddy and it has never been right. Now my right side is better than my left which is holding me back. I only wish I had been advised to see Dr Goldberg 6 years ago as now I appear to have tendinitis of the left tendon which is really hard to shift. I really recommend Dr Goldberg as he offers such amazing care and my previous experience was literally not even on the same score sheet let alone at par.

Dr Goldberg and his whole team are awesome. I saw Dr Goldberg for a second opinion. His opinion verified what I had been told but his manner was much more friendly and his explanation clearer. I liked the first doctor but sometimes you have to go with your gut and so I let Dr Goldberg do my ankle replacement and am doing amazingly. Sometimes I forget which one I had surgery on and am back playing golf and enjoying life. Thank you thank you.

I broke both my heels jumping off a wall in my garden. I was in agony and in so much pain I was crying. I went to the NHS hospital and was told I needed surgery on both ankles. My physiotherapist in Chelsea recommended I seek a second opinion from Mr Goldberg. He organised a scan and told me that I should avoid surgery on the left and have surgery only on my right ankle. I had the surgery in December by Mr Goldberg and am so pleased I did not have surgery on the left ankle as its perfect. The right ankle is still a bit stiff but I jogged 2k yesterday and am really hopeful that I can be back to running properly soon. The first doctor I saw said I would never run again. I am so glad I went to see Mr Goldberg.

I sprained my ankle but didn’t want to go to hospital because of the Coronovirus issue. I had a video call with Dr Goldberg who felt I had broken my ankle and brought me into the Wellington Hospital where I had an X-ray. He was right but fortunately was able to treat me in a boot and gave me pain killers. I am now mobile again and feel so much better. I would like to thank him and his whole team who are so friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough for me.
