The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Goldman
- “While I am waiting for my hip replacement surgery I have had occasion to contact Tri-County Orthopedics with various questions. I have been very pleased with the timely responses to my inquiries as well as the courtesy and concern I was accorded. Thank you!”– Barbara R.
- “Excellent experience. Dr. Goldman spoke clearly and succinctly as he explained his observations and my options.”– Marvin L.
- “I had a total right hip replacement three and a half weeks ago. This has been a positive experience from my first visit to the office through today. The office staff is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I was seen within five minutes of arriving at the office and met with very pleasant staff. Dr. Goldman is very professional and an excellent surgeon. I have experienced little discomfort and the incision is very small. I am walking very well with a cane and I am starting outpatient physical therapy tomorrow. Thank you for making an anxious situation go so well and turning an anxiety-filled situation into a positive outcome. Also, the staff at Morristown Memorial is to be commended as well.”– L. B.
- “He was great and changed Max's life around in one day. He went from not being able to walk to walking 24 hours later. We're so glad we chose Dr. Goldman to correct Max's torn meniscus. Thanks!”– Sharon P.
- “My first time to your office I was amazed how smoothly everything went. Dr. Goldman explained my choices and listened to my concerns. Although I am very nervous about my knee replacement, I look forward to being able to get back to doing things with my children and their children. Also, I love your website, felt like I knew Dr. Goldman after reading all about him. My paperwork package arrived and everything was spelled out and what must be done before the surgery. No one likes going to the doctor but your office is very professional.”– Mary T.
- “I would like recognize and say thank you to Dr. Robert T. Goldman for an excellent job. I went in to his office on crutches and was unable to walk for the past four months. His staff are also very professional, polite, and you feel very relaxed during your visit. Dr. Goldman is very professional and an excellent surgeon. I have experienced little discomfort and the incision healed quickly. After surgery, I was able to walk within two weeks with a single crutch and was walking without a cane within a month. I was able to resume my normal life within six weeks of surgery and I'm back at work. I would recommend Dr. Robert T. Goldman to everyone who has issues with their hip and requires surgery.”– Luiz P.
- “Very positive!”– John W.
- “From my initial impression upon entering the reception area, I was greeted with a smile and the utmost professionalism. During my visit with Dr. Goldman, he was very thorough in his evaluation and explained the results in terms which were easily understood. I look forward to being treated by Dr. Goldman and having a full recovery.”– Joann T.
- “After being treated by two previous doctors in the last year for my arthritic right knee, I came to Dr. Goldman with hope because of his great reputation. I was in so much pain. It was getting harder to walk and have any quality of life. Dr. Goldman put my mind at ease by answering my questions, explaining the procedure, and the follow up post op care for my total knee replacement. I am now two months post op and have my life back!”– Mary Ann C.
- “Excellent! The staff was warm and courteous. -- John R.”– John
- “Dr. Goldman is a tremendous surgeon. I had no pain after my ACL surgery. His office is sweet, polite, caring, and efficient. I will always go back to Tri-County Orthopedics if I need anything.”– Amy
- “My first experience with Tri-County was with Dr. Robert Goldman. I needed bilateral knee replacements. Everyone was trying to talk me into going into New York to have it done. I have never had an operaton in my entire life, and I was really scared. Then through word of mouth, I heard about Dr. Goldman—they said he was 'the man.' My daughter who is an OT also told me about Dr. Goldman. I made the appointment, he took tests, showed me the films, and explained to me why I needed to have both knees replaced at the same time. I felt very comfortable speaking with Dr. Goldman as he explained in detail about the surgery and the PT I would need after the surgery. Dr. Goldman performed the surgery and worked very hard doing the therapy, which was very painful. I am able to do anything without having the awful pain in my knees. The New York doctors can't hold a candle to Dr. Goldman. He truly is 'the man'! There is no better orthopedic practice anywhere that is better than Tri-County! --Arlene B.”– Arlene
- “My husband Paul (Brad) had been living with severe hip and back pain for years. Brad felt it was occupationally related from years working in construction. Brad's quality of life was diminishing as he could no longer do activities that he enjoyed like riding a bike or hiking. He could not stand for long periods or sleep at night. Dr. Goldman has given Brad the ability to enjoy life again and engage in all the physical activities that he once did. Brad had one hip replaced the end of September 2012 and headed for a trip to Hawaii the end of October. (I might add that he was 66 at the time.) The end of March 2013 Brad had his second hip replaced by Dr. Goldman and was active within a month. He has recently been hiking sections of the Appalacian trail and I'm sure he appreciates being able to do this type of activity again. I am so grateful for all the superb care Brad received with Dr. Goldman and all his staff. Thanks to all of them my husband is pain free, active and happy. --Jeanne H.”– Jeanne
- “The initial visit was excellent. My appointment was right on time, and I had gotten my X-rays and spoke with Dr. Goldman in less than 40 minutes. Overall, the experience so far has been good. I'm currently waiting to hear back on how my MRI looked. Just hoping it does take too long, kind of getting tired of hobbling around. I would defenitly recommend this facility to family and friends.”– John H.
- “I would like to say thank you to Dr. Robert T. Goldman for his wonderful work. I got my first hip replaced on August 6, 2000 and my second hip replaced on November 12, 2000. I am still working and walking perfect thanks to you. I am currently living in Spain and every time I visit any doctor for a checkup, all of them say, you have done a wonderful job. They ask me who my doctor was for the procedures and my answer is Dr. Robert T. Goldman at Tri-County Orthopedics in New Jersey. I am doing great at the age of 40. I still play soccer and basketball, swim, bike, and walk.”– Johnny M.
- ““I've had both hips replaced, my left in 2007 and my right in 2008. I will be 49 years old on May 1. It was very scary contemplating this type of procedure at 45, but you get to a point where there really is no other choice. I was too young to give up the quality of life I was used to therefore the choice was very clear. Dr. Goldman was very clear and precise. I knew immediately that he was the man for the job. His confidence was most reassuring in this very stressful time of my life. In both instances I was back to work four weeks later. As a captain in the banquet department of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, I am on my feet and walking all day long supervising banquet events. I train hard at the gym and continue my martial arts training. There are some days, I can honestly say, that I don't even think about my hips. Thank you, Dr. Goldman, for giving me my life back. God bless you and your family.”-- Luis A.”– Luis
- “It has been several years since I last visited Tri County, but I was very pleased with the new office location as well as the office itself. I had an appointment with Dr. Goldman, whom I had never met before, but I was quite pleased by his friendly approach. Most of all, I was pleased with his knowledge and being able to present it in a way that was understandable to the common layman. I like him a lot, as he cut to the chase and gave you the details regarding your problem. I was impressed and he immediately instilled in me my confidence in him. I will need to have hip replacement surgery soon, and feel very comfortable in having Dr. Goldman perform it. No hesitations on my part. So, although it had been awhile, I was most pleased from my dealings with the staff at the desk to the techs in X-ray, and the nurses assisting. Thanks from me for making it a pleasant experience.”– Walter C.
- “I have suffered from knee problems for many years. Many times, I have had to wear braces and take pain medications just to get through the day. I've spent many sleepless nights because of the pain. I have consulted with four doctors seeking a solution. I attempted to build strength in my knees by exercising. I was referred to Tri-County Orthopedics by my doctor. Dr. Goldman reviewed my records. He is the first doctor who recognized the progress that I made on my own. Ha felt that with only one knee being replaced, it would relieve the other one, thus negating the need for a second operation. My operation will take place in March. I will begin chapter 2 when it is done.”– Vincent S.
- “I was very anxious about having knee replacement surgery. Dr. Goldman was kind, professional, and always perfectly honest about every aspect of the surgery and my concerns. I have only positive things to say about the surgery, anesthesia, pain management, hospital stay, and most of the recovery. No one minced words about the difficulty of physical therapy, and I made it through with not too many negative feelings. I eventually will have the other knee replaced, and I will not even hesitate to call Dr. Goldman. He is a wonderful doctor.”– Ellen G.
- “Positive. I like Dr. Goldman and the way he treated me.”– Viktor R.
- “I had hip pain for 16 years. I saw several doctors who diagnosed back problems and looked for arthritis via x-ray. Ruling out anything beyond that because of my relatively young age. Turns out, it was a tear that went untreated and grew to cause severe pain and even more severe arthritis. I was shocked when I was told I needed a hip replacement. I went to several surgeons. None gave me the sense of trust and calm that Dr. Goldman did. When I met Dr. Goldman, he showed me the x-ray and defined the problem. He also told me the surgery would change my life. I knew I had found my surgeon. I am now 4 weeks past surgery. I am so happy I do not have the deep, severe pain that I have experienced for the past 16 years. I am working hard to heal and get back to activity. I am grateful to Dr. Goldman and his staff for a rewarding experience.”– Jacki H.
- “My story goes back to May 2008. I had bi-lateral knee replacements by the amazing Dr. Robert Goldman. It was the first major surgery for me. The only other surgery I have had was having my tonsils removed back in the day. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreck, but Dr. Goldman made me feel at ease. He explained why I needed the surgery, and even showed me the X-rays so I could see for myself. He was so patient with me and answered all my questions in terms I could understand. I said he could do the surgery only if he promised NOT to put me to sleep and just give me a spinal. He said “Okay. If that's what you want, I will do that.” I was wide awake during the surgery and did not have a Valium drip or any calming drugs. The rehab I must admit was very difficult, but I am pain-free. I can do anything, and my knees feel great. They don't even get sore when it rains! I have recommended many patients to Dr. Goldman, each having success with their surgeries. In my eyes Dr. Goldman is THE MAN!”– Arlene B.
- “Dr. Goldman has saved me from having knee replacement surgery thus far with medication and injections. Some weight loss on my part has also made a big difference with the combination I am looking forward to many years ahead without a knee replacement. I will continue to see Dr. Goldman. He has truly healed me when I could barely walk. Now I can do more, exercise, and be apart of many events without suffering for it later. The staff has been more that efficient with appointments, medication refills, and general needs. Thank you, Dr. Goldman and staff.”– Diana
- “My first appointment with Dr. Goldman was in October of 2009. Arrangements to have my left hip replaced were made and the surgery was at the end of January 2010. Everything went very well, and I recovered quickly. I could have gone home after 3 or 4 days, but decided to go to Runnels for rehab. I was there less than a week and was driving in three weeks from the time of the surgery. My care at Morristown Memorial was superb and the physical therapy at Runnels was excellent. I had a nice relationship with Dr. Goldman and felt that he was outstanding as a physician and a surgeon. Hopefully, the other hip will remain healthy, but should it need to be replaced, I would call Dr. Goldman in a heartbeat. Long may he continue to add years of mobility to folks like me... am now 77...not old, just reaching perfection. (-: ”– Catherine D.
- “I had total right hip replacement 2/12/14. The hip feels wonderful. I am waiting to have my left side done soon. Unfortunately, my incision is having difficulty healing. I went back into surgery in the end of March to clean the wound and they placed me on a wound vac. The incision is being treated by a wound specialist and is healing well, but slowly. I have been asked by friends, “Aren't you afraid to have the second hip done?” I reply, “No, not at all.” Even if I had to go through this problem with the incision again, it is well worth it not to live in pain everyday from your hip degeneration. I think Dr. Goldman did an excellent job and I am looking forward to having the second one done soon. I have increased a lot of walking since this new hip. I can't wait to be totally out of pain from the second hip.”– Theresa Z.
