Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Insists that all mental (and most physical) health problems are due to snoring. Naturally, he is the "only one" who knows the "truth" about this. "Even if you don't think you're snoring, you are - just at a high enough pitch that you can't hear it." Has encouraged people to go off of their psychiatric medication because he believes it interferes with sleep, leading to snoring, which is the "actual cause" of their illness. Do not go to this doctor.

Wonderful and thorough , recently went for a sleep apnea consultation. Dr Gold was professional, friendly and answered all my questions patiently. I left the office having a plan in place for testing and follow up. His fellow, Dr. “B” took my initial history and brief exam, then presented my case very concisely to Dr Gold. I can tell what a good mentor Dr Gold must be.
