Dr Golden is very caring and a very genuine doctor. I was very impressed by how he treated me with the uncertain time I was having with my referral from my regular doctor. He is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain my condition and made me feel less stressed about what I was facing. You are very lucky to have him on your staff. He is not only an amazing surgeon but an amazing person, I had always seen and worked for Dr Paul Cronen and he reminded me alot of him with his caring demeanor. I would recommend anyone to see Dr Golden.
