Dr. Goldsmith has been my physician for many years, and I truly feel cared for under his guidance. He always takes the time to communicate clearly, listen thoughtfully, and explain things in a way I can understand. I am in pain and messaged Dr. Goldsmith —he made time to see me right away, which I deeply appreciated. His quick response will allow me to begin treatment and start feeling better soon, hopefully. In my opinion, Dr. Goldsmith is one of the best doctors UCLA has. He has excellent bedside manners, never rushes through appointments, and genuinely cares about my wellbeing. I’m very grateful to have him as my doctor.
