Dr. Goldstein comes off as friendly and professional, but in actuality he is a law breaking, snake. I went in for an exam and upon completion was told my contacts would be over $200 and being a lense wearing for over 20 years I knew something was fishy as I always pay $100 a pair. So I asked for my prescription so I could order the lenses myself through 1800-contacts where the exact same lenses cost $90 as I later found out! Dr. Goldstein refused to give me my prescrition which is a breach of the law passed in February 2004, The Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act stating that eye doctors are legally bound to give you your prescription upon request. I had not known of the law at the time of my encounter with Dr. Goldstein and paid him $225 for the lenses as I was in a bind and needed them. After learning the law and calling to discuss it with him, he did not call me back and when he finally did would not work with me at all and kept talking in circles to avoid the law and ended up hanging up on me. He inflates the cost of lenses to the patients when as an eye doctor part of his good care should be getting patients contacts at the fair market value. And no follow-up visits are actaully free as he states since the up-charge in the contact lenses covers the appointment. I do not recommend seeing him unless you want to be ripped off!
