It is so refreshing to see a provider that you can tell truly cares about their appearance. They strive to maintain a professional appearance and look their best at all times. I was completely at ease during my appointment here. They went to great lengths to make sure I was completely relaxed and comfortable the entire time. The chairs in their waiting room weren't the best but they served their purpose and I couldn't complain.

I write this review so that others do not get subjected to the same care I received from this doctor. If you expect to be taken on time, this is not the place for you, you will be kept waiting 45 or more minutes. The staff is cold and unfriendly.
But most importantly, when a test result came back to this doctor that I had a life threatening disease Richard Gold tasked a PA with informing me I could be in serious danger. The PA then took a week of and I was not informed I could die if I did not act soon. The PA was not knowledgeable about my condition and could not answer any of my questions.

To say the least, I never returned to this office and would warn anyone considering this practice you cannot expect the minimal care required to ensure good health.
