David B. Golden, MD

Doctor seemed a bit rushed, but I respect his professionalism and the fact that he seemed confident of his diagnosis, told me a treatment plan, and had performed a well-trained physical assessment, besides giving me direct report on the film. A little warmth and humor always helps, though.

My biggest concern about the hip replacement I am having the end of the month was, what kind of anesthesia they would be using. Dr Golden, took a good deal of time explaining about the anesthesia, and put my mind at ease. He answered several othe questions. Now I feel very confident about my surgery.

Flew from Hawaii for the appointment as was uncomfortable with the orthopedic recommendations received to date - Golden answered my questions & provided recommendations which only come with years of experience & knowledge. - allowed my wife in Hawaii to listen during the exam & answered several of her questions as traveling to Cedar Sinai for a 30 minute exam did not make sense for her to accompany me - every minute spent with Golden was worth the 10 hrs of flying & hotel, etc costs - cannot express my appreciation enough that someone of his caliber was available - he had been highly recommended which is why the visit was scheduled & was one of my better life decisions

Dr. Golden is literally the BEST doctor I have ever visited. In treating me for a hip injury, he noticed an abnormality on my MRI which turned out to be an ovarian cyst. His communication style is clear and concise. I have recommended him tens of times and will continue to do so forever.

After waiting for almost 1-1/2 hours, the appointment took a maximum of ~8-10 minutes. I have had two hip replacements done by Dr. Golden, who I hold in very high esteem. This, however, was the only gross exception I've experienced in this office.

Dr. Golden is really smart and informative. I appreciate how conservative Dr. Golden's approach is to care. I am conservative. Surgery is never an option. He always finds a way, IE: physical therapy, drainage for the calcification, etc. He's great.

I did not like Dr. Golden's bedside manner. For an initial visit, it felt rushed and he came across as condescending. He gave me arbitrary time-limits to answer his questions ("In one sentence" or "In under a minute") and seemed perturbed when I sought clarifications or better understanding of the recommended care. I didn't feel heard or respected.

The service I received with Dr. Golden was a waste of my time. I didn't feel like he spent time really listening to my concerns. My knee has been bothering for 7 months. I requested an MRI and was hopeful I would receive a thorough explanation of my MRI results, but he didn't provide that. I will request a second appointment with another doctor. His first statement to me was how's the pain and can you live it? He continued with, these are your 3 options think about them and let me know what you decide. Again, a waste of time. I did better looking up my MRI results on the internet. I would NEVER recommend anyone to Dr. Golden. It appeared he had a resident student. Dr. Golden shouldn't train anyone, he has a poor bedside manner and customer service.

Dr Golden was excellent. He apologized for having me wait because the X-ray didn't initially upload. He quickly diagnosed my problem and gave me several possible solutions. He answered my questions thoroughly and we discussed the pros and cons of each solution. I felt like he listened really well. Later when he injected my knee with cortisone he was great. I have a paranoia about needles and he walked me through what was happening which really allayed my anxieties. I left with a care plan and he told me if I continued to have pain that I should contact him directly. He was excellent.

I visited this provider to find out the cause of chronic knee pain and was diagnosed with arthritis. The provider said that there's not much that can be done and didn't really offer me much of anything constructive. He took a phone call while discussing the results of my X-rays and overall I just felt like a number. There was also some conflicting information in the diagnoses because he said my right knee looked "normal" in the X-ray and my left knee showed the signs of arthritis. However, my right knee is symptomatic as well so I'm not sure how that would be considered "normal." I want an MRI and better answers, as well as some more constructive feedback regarding how to live with my condition as it is seriously impacting my life.
