    Dr. Golden is one of the best. He told me exactly what was wrong, and what could be done. During the procedure he kept me advised of what was happening and asked me several times if I was having any pain or issues. Very kind and caring doctor.

    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.
