5.0 star star star star starTruly Excellent doctor , extremely knowledgeable, excellent rapport with patient, you know you are seeing someone with vast expertise. She teaches the fellow ( younger doctor still in training ) but does not ignore you, the patient. She makes sure to engage you as a whole human being not an eye problem..

5.0 star star star star starDr Goldstein was phenomenal. My daughter is excited (yes, excited!) about her visit today. She feels she learned so much and has a clearer understanding of what she has dealt with. I believe her entire outlook has been improved from our visit today though the diagnosis and treatment plan was largely just confirmed. As a parent, I appreciated that my daughter was treated so well. And it must be shared that the doctor who spent so much time with us (fellowship almost completed) was also fantastic. (Note: Just before hitting œsubmit? I showed my response to my daughter who insisted I write more because, she said of Dr. Goldstein, œeverybody needs to see her.?)

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
