Patient Testimonials
“After suffering from a broken ankle in three places and being treated improperly by another medical group, Dr. Goldberger came through with the answer almost one year ago. This April 20th my new Scandinavia ankle (the S.T.A.R) will be one year old in my left ankle joint. I am walking like nothing happened prior to the medical botched surgery of three years ago.
Ankle Replacements are not heard of like a hip or a knee replacement, but with Dr. Goldberger's training and knowledge nothing is impossible. It is great to be able to move around, get up from a sitting position and walk a great distance without the terrible pain. I am so glad that he and I agreed to have this surgery. I was his first patient with the S.T.A.R implant - I don't regret one day of it. Being the age of 53 he gave me a second chance of being active again. Thank you!” -- Mary Beth C.
“I've only been to the office once for my initial consultation, but I was pleased. I didn't wait long and Dr. Goldberger seemed extremely knowledgeable and confident he could help my issue with surgery. I plan to schedule it in a few months when my schedule allows downtime for healing.” -- Lori C.
“I thought the office and staff was very nice. I went for a second opinion on an ankle injury and I was pleased with what the doctor said and how I was treated, as well as, his medical assistant and physicians assistant.” -- Kiera H.
“After not being listened to multiple times and told my ankle "was as good as it was going to get" by a doctor from another orthopedic group, I made an appointment for a second opinion at Tri-County Orthopedics. Thank God I did. I was listened to, looked directly in my eyes, shown my x-rays, and results were discussed with me. Then three options were discussed for treatment and I choose the best for me. I feel a much better outcome will result with my care with Dr. Goldberger, and I will walk again without aid, compete again with my Masters swimming, and finally get to swim in the National championships I missed last year from this injury. The office is clean, very professionally ran, and the staff were knowledgeable and polite. Even though this will be a hard road again, I feel that I am very good hands.” -- Meredith L.
“Excellent experience from the first phone call to end of the appointment. Everyone was pleasant and efficient. Office was immaculate. Dr. Goldberger was knowledgeable and quickly solved my problem. Hope I don't need to come back, but if ever do, I know it will be a positive experience.” -- Maureen R.
“I have never met a more friendly and helpful staff!” -- Jacob S.
