The receptionist was the nicest person I have ever met in a physician's office. I wish I had gotten her name. I use a walker and she made sure she was there to open doors for me and seemed happy to be of help. The office is lucky to have her.

Dr. Goldfarb recommended 2 options for me initially - surgery or radiofrequency ablation. I'm really happy that I chose radiofrequency ablation Instead of surgery. Dr. Goldfarb has been outstanding.

The provider was excellent, except that I was stuck waiting in the exam room waiting for her for over 30 minutes. The nursing staff did not communicate to me that she was running late.However, when the provider came, she apologized for being so late.

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 sent a message through my chart, and the doctor responded and answered all my questions. I very much appreciated her communication.

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 .

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

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.
