What patients are saying about Dr. Gold

Saw Dr. Gold today and was instantly put at ease. She took her time to go over my case and answered all my questions. I did not feel rushed or that any of my questions where not important. She is super friendly and kind as is the entire staff. I left feeling I was in great hands.
