Re: Dr Goldstein

Emma,

Even though he may tailor the treatment to the needs of his

patients most of his practice is about surgical procedures.

At least he did one thing a doctor I saw at Mayo Clinic

ville did when I refused the PT recommendation she made

in 2003 and I didn't do the other thing either: fill the

prescription for the Valium.

Did you read the article that came out in the NY Times about

vulvodynia? The main focus in that article was about surgical

treatment being the primary for vulvodynia which is why some got

upset about the issue of PT not being mentioned in the article

at the same time surgery was mentioned but we hope a follow-up

article occurs talking about other types of treatment such as

the PT for pelvic floor issues in those that it applies.

I wonder if he is qualified to do surgery? And what kind of

surgery? A vestibulectomy? Again, there are not a lot of doctors that are

qualified to do them. The only way you can find out is to talk to former

patients, but because of the new privacy laws the doctor has to contact the

patient and have them call you to give you any reference, which is work for the

doctor or his staff, and they do not want to do it. Did anyone look up Dr.

Goldstein or any of their own doctors on the new “rate your doctor” lists on

the internet? These sites are fascinating. I have found every time I went to

put in a negative comment on my doctor, there were many more before me. These

sites cannot be traced so there is no way anyone knows who left the comments.

And the same goes for the good comments – I have left a lot of those also, and

so have others, so I usually know I am right on track on how I perceive the

doctor. After going through 13 doctors in eight months, I really learned a lot.

He did not bring up surgery for me either. The

only meds he prescribed for me were a

topical Estrogen/Testosterone cream and Valium. I am not on either anymore.
