Goldberg Barry MD

Goldberg was a wonderful doctor to our two older children, but when we brought out 3 month old uncircumcised son to him, both my son and I left in tears. Without warning, Dr Goldberg had done a forced retraction without any consent on my part. My son was bleeding for two days afterwards, and needed to be seen at urgent care. Unfortunately, there was nothing anyone could do, and the damage to my sons glands had already been done. It has been almost a year since that appointment, and my son’s penis is STILL red at the tip, and hasn’t healed right. I understand that some doctor’s still believe that retraction is healthy (research shows it is NOT), but he didn’t even ask for my consent, or let me know what he intended to do beforehand. I hope that this never happens to another little boy! Please tell him beforehand that you want him to get your consent before EVERYthing he does! I feel so guilty for the pain my son went through so early in life.
I was so surprised at this from him. He has never shown anything but concern and care to our children, so I don’t want to discredit him as a good pediatrician, but this action was so uncalled for I refuse to go back. Please make sure you don’t let this happen to your intact son.

Just to update my review of Dr. Goldberg’s services, my son’s pediatrician. He returns my calls even if when is out of the office. He made sure that my son gets accommodated on the same day that I called by the doctor who was on duty that day. I wish I can be Dr. Goldberg’s patient!
