I am new to Dr. Gottesfeld’s practice. My previous doctor died unexpectedly, he had been my doctor for 15 years . Understandably, I was nervous the first time I met him and when I mentioned that my doctor had died. He stopped and said that was worthy of acknowledging all of my feelings around them. I knew then that this was the doctor for me. I shared things with him even my previous doctor… See more
Although I have only been a patient of Dr. Gottesfeld for a short time, I have greatly benefitted from his many years of experience. The ability to get an appointment on short notice, and appointments that last longer than 5 minutes have improved my health. I believe that I have a physician who is truly dedicated to his patients, and listens to their concerns. I commend everyone in his office… See more
After my long time doctor, Chris Nicora, passed away suddenly, I was in a panic to find a replacement. I remembered seeing Dr. Gottesfeld once before when Dr. Nicora was out of Town. Not only were they able to take me in as a new patient, my one and only visit so far was a total pleasure!! I miss Dr. Nicora but am confident that I will develop the same if not a better relationship with Dr.… See more
My wife (Lydia) and I have been Doctor's Gottesfeld patients for 21 years coming up. He has been the most affable and caring Doctor we have had in our lifetime (81 and 80 years of age). Even before he joined MDVIP he gave us all the time we needed to cover the cause of our visit. He has superb communication skills with the patients and takes time to explain the medical conditions and the… See more
I remember vividly how I came about being referred to Dr. Gottesfeld. It was in 2005, I had just lost my husband to cancer, and had become more astute about my own health care. I was completely dissatisfied with present physician due to long waiting time. Previous MD, even if I were his first appointment always made me wait, which felt like eternity, never failed. I had gotten to the point… See more
Dr. Gottesfeld really listens and thoroughly explains all tests.
I grew up in Italy and when I was 10 years old, I fell and skinned my knee on a dirt road frequented by many farm animals. Several days after my fall, I got tetanus and was rushed to a hospital in Rome. Treatment included hourly injections and 3 spinal taps. It was a miracle I survived but to this day any thoughts of an injection sends me to a state of fear and panic. So, when Dr. Gottesfeld… See more
Dr. Gottesfeld has been my doctor for 10ish years and knowing he is there has been a constant source of comfort for me. He listens, treats, researches and advises me on my medical care. His attention to detail and curiosity regarding any symptoms I present are amazing. Seeing the same great doctor for so long means he is familiar with me: my history, my quirks, what is normal for my body, my… See more
Our family have been patients of Dr. G for the past 30 years or so. He is always there for us; morning, noon or night and always available to assist our every need, which have been many, unfortunately!
When I had my heart attack, he went out of his way to come visit me in the hospital before and after my surgery. I can’t tell you how comforting it made me feel, knowing that my doctor… See more
Dr. Gottesfeld is the best medical doctor I've ever had; he is patient, kind and relentless in ensuring the best care for his patients. He's also quite the sleuth in trying to get to the bottom of a presenting medical issue. We've built a great doctor/patient relationship over the years. His knowledge of my medical issues led to diagnosing a condition that, with medical… See more
