I appreciate Dr. Goldfarb's expertise. She was highly recommended by a physician I trust implicitly. It was difficult to make an appointment. I had to call several times before I even got a response. I began to wonder if she had, perhaps, retired. The appointment happened quite quickly and I felt somewhat rushed. I take responsibility for not having prepared my questions in advance. I sent a message through my chart, and the doctor responded and answered all my questions. I very much appreciated her communication.

I answered no ine contacted me for test results but they were on My Chart and she verbally told me during the visit. I really liked Dr Goldfarb. She was very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable anout my upcoming procedure. Only problem is that the office is very far from Buena Park where I live . Reason to go there is because Fullerton location doesnt have the equipment required to do ablation. Such a long commute. I am going back for the procedure though

Dr. Goldfarb is very competent and has spent a good deal of time explaining things to me. Before I selected one of two approaches (nodule ablation shrinkage or surgery) she called me back twice, as it was a difficult decision.

Dr Goldfarb was very patient about my many questions about choosing between RFA and surgery for my benign thyroid nodule. My decision-making would have been less confusing if she had weighed in on a possible preference but I understand why she didn't do so. It's good to know that surgery is an option if the nodule hasn't sufficiently decreased in size after a year or so.
