Deborah S Golob, MD

Dr Golob puts all the disparate pieces of health together to treat the whole person. I have learned so much about my health just seeing her a couple times because she takes the time to explain how everything relates. She also runs tests that nobody else would think of and found a treatable tumor on my wife’s pituitary gland that was causing all sorts of problems we never would have known about without her. I would recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Golob is the best doctor I had ever seen. First doctor I really trust.
What I like about her is that she takes time to help her patients. In my first appointment she spent with me 90 minutes. She asked all the questions possible to figure out what is going on with me. She is very thorough and she asks about every single detail to help diagnose.
I love it that she does not have any assistants. It’s just you and her, which nowadays is super hard to find.
She isn’t one of those doctors who put in your symptoms in an Ipad and tells you what’s wrong with you based on WebMD. She has plenty of experience and probably saw it all.
She listens carefully and takes notes herself. She took 3 pages of my health notes, which was incredible! Dr. Golob is extremely patient and an incredible listener.
She discussed medicines with me, told me side effects and explained how they will affect me and also help me in the long run. She explained on how I can take them to minimize side effects. Also, told me she can switch it up if particular meds do not work for me.
She follows up as well. We established appointments to see how I am doing and to measure my progress.
She diagnosed me with couple of different problems other doctors were not able to, or maybe did not want to dig enough to actually help me. She will do anything in her power to help you and make you feel better.
I am getting healthy thanks to Dr. Golob.
If you thinking of seeing her, stop thinking and GO! She is the most amazing doctor ever.

Dr. Golob has been taking great care of me for three years now. She spent 80 minutes with me at my first appointment and took the most thorough history I think I’ve EVER had done. She tested my reflexes, temperature, blood pressure, balance, posture, and all kinds of other things — and she did it, not a nurse. She doesn’t even HAVE a nurse. She says that doing basic vitals herself tells her a lot about a person’s overall health.
Now that we are «established», she still spends about 30 minutes with me at each appointment. She doesn’t rush. If the blood tests she wants don’t require special handling of the tubes (like freezing), she will draw them herself; she’s good at it, which is amazing. The only other MDs I can think of that are actually accomplished with blood draws are anesthesiologists.
She calls when your lab test results come back and she discusses them with you. She doesn’t just leave you a message saying «everything’s fine» even if everything IS fine. She wants you to understand what the numbers mean, and she’s happy to share the actual lab results with you if you want them for your records (that’s required by law, but very few doctors OFFER them; usually you have to cajole them out of the front-​office staff).
If she recommends a medication for a problem you’re having, it’s open for discussion. She actually spent time with me to discuss possible side effects of a drug she thought I should take.
Overall, I am consistently impressed. She’s been a doctor for 27 years, so she’s been around the block, but she spends time keeping her knowledge up to date; at the same time, she wasn’t afraid to admit that she didn’t know something and said that she would research it. I have deep respect for that attitude. She also didn’t get uppity when I did Internet research… she wanted to consider the information that I brought to her and next time I saw her, we discussed it.
She might not be the right doctor for you if you want to see someone for 5 minutes to get a scrip for a miracle cure, but if you’ve got something complicated going on, she will take the time to tease out the issues with you, and then will help you think through a possible path to getting better.
