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.

Dr. Goldfarb is phenomenal

Very smooth transition from parking to Consultation with the Dr

This was a recommendation from my primary care. I've only seen her once, for a specific issue. I was satisfied by her and have highly recommended her to my primary care. So, my sample size about phone calls, etc is extremely small, but it seems fine. All good.

Dr. Goldfarb is absolutely wonderful. I was truly blessed to have her as my physician

The Dr.handled me in a professional caring manner

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

I was very impressed with Dr. Goldfarb

Dr Goldfarb is excellent -- I really appreciate her expertise and her ability to communicate easily with me. I am always completely at ease after an appointment with Dr. Goldfarb. Really a pleasure.

Dr. Goldfarb is an expert at performing radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of thyroid nodules. Before she did this procedure, she asked me if two physicians could observe her doing the RFA procedure on me. I agreed.

All good experiences. The Doctor put me at ease. I was stressed out prior to my appointment with the Doctor. She is top notch.

Dr Goldfarb was excellent!

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. I decided on ablation and found the procedure more tolerable than I thought it would be and her expertise and compassion during the procedure and before and after very high.

Dr. Goldfarb was very friendly and knowledgeable

I loved Dr. Goldfarb. Very knowledgeable and helped me understand the procedure that I will be having. Very easy to get an appointment. The staff was so helpful.

I enjoyed Dr. Goldfarb's energy, straight to the point. She showed me where the problem is, the ease, risk of the procedure. Too bad she is not closer to me. If the referring doctor feels good about Dr. Goldfarb, so do I.

The visit was for a periodic check-up. Overall, my experience was excellent -- efficient, thorough, and very well focused on my concerns.

I thought Dr. Goldfarb was excellent! She went over my issues, explained everything to me very succinctly and in her recommendation, she gave me confidence that this was the right thing for us to do under the circumstances. She had to perform a biopsy on my thyroid and gave me confidence. And I trusted her! If I need to go back, I would definitely go back to Dr. Goldfarb And recommend her to Anyone who needs her services!

Excellent, excellent care

Exceptional patient service!

This was the first visit with my provider. She's smart, accessible, and I connected with her immediately. It was a great visit.

Very informative, and on a timely manner

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.
