Howard A Goldman, M.D., P.A. 5550 26th Street West, Bradenton, FL 34207

"I was with this doctor for over a year doing really well and he terminated me because my mother called him Who has serious mental issues mind you, I guess she just said a bunch of things about me, and because of that, with no proof or anything, he terminated me and did not even bother to tell me so I showed up to my next appointment dumbfounded, and couldn’t believe that they could just drop me after keeping me on these meds for over a year! How can you do that to a patient without even talking to me? The withdrawals were so bad. And I had nobody to help me, so this doctor is horrible in my book because it’s not looking out for the patient’s interest. I never had one problem the entire year I saw him, but my mother, that he never spoke too, can call and say some words and poof I’m no longer a patient? Who even says this woman was my mother!? Just blows my mind."

"The best DR in the area to help you get off opioids. He is friendly and helpful in anyway he can be. He has turned my life around from spending hundreds!!!! A week to 140 every 2 months and the cost of my scripts. He is a DR that cares about all his patience."

"He screamed profanities over the phone at me for requesting a refund for the patient, and said that he’s “terminated for seeing another doctor”. Goldman for over 4 months straight has taken his money and not sent in prescriptions to the pharmacy, which the pharmacists will attest to, and is now acting in complete disdain because the patient found a new psychiatrist and some of his medications are controlled psychiatric medications. We simply asked for him to fill medications that were never sent through in November, and the patient’s new doctor set up began this month- December. Even though he is legally obligated to care for a patient for the 30 following days after termination, he is refusing to stop hanging up on calls, will not provide a refund for the appointment, and will not provide scripts. All we wanted was either an appointment refund or to have the medications sent."

"Patient of his left messages to come in weeks late of appointment. No callback, found out doctor was sick, did not refer to another doctor regarding opiate dependencies. Person has children and standard life they got completely interrupted due to the Doctor Who does not care. I’ve seen a lot of things in my life of watching someone go through. This is asinine. If you want to work with a doctor, Is unreachable only open once or twice a week, and after speaking with the office staff, explaining the situation that I heard, unfortunately, the doctor is running nose with an open office, who cannot bring in an alternate doctor, literally will never have my respect or recommendations. Terrible doctor."

"I really like Dr. Goldman. His office staff are very warm and very nice. The offi e setting is comfortable and not stuffy like most doctor offices. He’s excellent at listening to my concerns and working with me on medications that are best suitable for myself. He’s always pleasant and his dog offers a great therapeutic feel to things as well! I highly recommend him if you want affordable and consistent care from someone who cares!"
