The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Goldman
- “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.
- “I got my new knee in March. I healed well and fast. I expect to make an appointment to have the other one done, hopefully before September. Dr. Goldman did a great job on me. Glad I got it done.”– Vincent S.
- “I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 2006. I began to have numerous pains in joints all over my body. I started with one rheumatologist and was put on medication. My faith was strong and I firmly believe God's hand has been on me. I never had to go on strong pain medication and my sleep was never affected. I did give up my position as a vascular technologist and became disabled. Family struggled with the loss of both parents, my daughter-in-law's illness, and my intellectually disabled son continued to add stress. I changed my rheumatologist and received a more definitive diagnosis, but the pain continued. I received numerous injections that only provided temporary relief. Finally, the rheumatologist called me Crippled!” It was like a light had gone off and I knew I had to get more help. I sought my internist's recommendations with a prayer and he referred me to Dr. Goldman. I saw Dr. Goldman in January and my bilateral replacement was scheduled on March 13. I am so grateful and my heart is overwhelmed! I can walk. I usually am ahead of my husband always now! Recently, I had the joy of attending the USA Special Olympics for my son, which he won 2 Gold medals. Thank You, Tri County Orthopedics. Especially, Dr. Goldman. God Bless You!!”– Shirley M.
- “I had hip pain for about two years. My activities were limited, and I wasn’t sleeping well at night. I finally got my hip replaced, and I feel like I am 10 years younger. Dr. Goldman told me I would be back on my horse in 6 weeks. I didn't believe him, but it was true. Now, I'm riding and hiking like I was years ago.”– Evelyn M.
- “I heard about Dr. Robert Goldman from one of my wife's customers, that happens to be in her eighties and had both of her shoulders replaced by Dr. Goldman. The results were unbelievable for her and me as well. I went to Dr. Goldman in 2012 about my shoulders. I could hardly raise either arm. After taking x-rays, he told me I would need both shoulders replaced. I scheduled the first one for November 1, 2012 and the other one on November 14, 2013. He was so awesome to work with. The entire staff was so professional and helpful. I was back to driving within ten days, and started rehab right away. In three weeks, I was back to work with no pain! Can't remember how long I suffered before with tremendous pain. I'm able to enjoy a new lifestyle because of the awesome doctor and staff!! Thank you!”– John H.
- “I had my hip replaced by Dr. Goldman on July 30th. I restarted playing racquetball seven weeks later. Within three months, my game was better than before. I'm 69 years old. I had my right, playing shoulder done two years earlier by Dr. Montgomery. I was very much surprised and thankful for such a quick and great recovery.”– Leon S.

- “January 14, 2015, had a total knee replacement of the left leg, September 2, 2015, had a total knee replacement of the right leg. I am 77 years old have my life back and free from pain after 10 years. THANK YOU, Dr. Goldman – Elizabeth B. ”– ElizabethPatient Rating:
- “The entire experience was just incredible, after suffering with arthritis in both knees for more then 20 years, I`m pain free. I was afraid of the replacement surgery because of all the things you hear about when people have complications after surgery. When I was told to have both knees done at the same time I had a major dicision to make. I had bi-lateral knee replacement in May and after some hard rehab I was able to play a round of golf in September! I can`t say enough good things about Dr. Goldman and his team, who did an outstanding job . The entire staff is just great! Most of the time I forget I even have knee replacements! These guys are good! Thank you all.”– Allan M.Patient Rating:
- “Very nice young man. Treated me with respect. Our nickname for him at our bridge group is Dr. Mcdreamy! We all love him! – Evelyn S. ”– EvelynPatient Rating:
- “I am a 72-year-old active women who experienced much discomfort in both knees from osteoarthritis. After researching doctors, I decided Dr. Goldman was my best choice and decided to have the surgery February of 2015. I only wanted to go thru the procedure once so decided to have both done at the same time. The next morning the nurses had me walking down the hall, and by the time I finished my rehab I was walking around my room without a walker which made it easy to be on my own once I was released. Its great to be able to do all the activities I enjoy again. My thanks to Dr. Goldman, the great care at Morristown Memorial, and Atlantic Rehab on Mount Kemble Ave. My advice to anyone considering knee surgery is to approach it with an open mind and great determination to recover quickly.”– Rosemary S.Patient Rating:
- “My daughter works for Atlantic Health and when she heard I might need hip replacement, she looked around for the best doctor and was given Dr. Goldman's name. I was very happy with my whole experience. I recommended a woman in my community to Dr. Goldman and she also was very pleased. For the first time, I see her walking around the clubhouse without the aide of a cane. I would recommend Dr. Goldman without hesitation.”– Julia H.Patient Rating:

- “Dr. Goldman was exceptional. I came in with terrible pain in my right hip. He had an X-ray taken & told me I had bone on bone. He scheduled my appointment for the surgery. Right after the surgery no pain. I felt like he was a miracle worker. I went back a little over 2 weeks for the staples to come out. And then 6 weeks after for post surgery check up. I'm discharged & feeling great. If I need my other hip done I would come back to Dr. Goldman.”– Carole G.Patient Rating:

- “Dr. Goldman is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. He performed my surgery for rotator cuff tear. He was very thorough in his explanation to me of what to expect. My follow up for dressing change with Dr. McBride was wonderful. His kindness and calming personality made me feel very comforted. His post-op instructions were very informative as well and helped me tremendously in how to get myself dressed. These little things mean a lot when you are in this situation. Dr. Goldman and Dr. McBride I thank you from the bottom of my heart! ”– Constance C.Patient Rating:
