    I cannot express any negative remarks about this doctor. From the moment I entered his office, I…read morehad an immediate sense of familiarity. I had a severe deviated septum that impeded my ability to breathe through one nostril, prompting me to schedule surgery with him. Now, a week post-operative, I am experiencing remarkable improvement. His professionalism is evident, and his compassionate nature makes the surgical experience feel welcoming. I sincerely hope that all doctors possess such qualities. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Gold for his exceptional care.

    Very Disappointing Experience…read more I had a very disappointing and upsetting experience with Dr. Gold. I went to the ENT because I was experiencing speech difficulties, including slurring and difficulty pronouncing certain words, and wanted to determine whether there could be any vocal cord or ENT-related issue, particularly in connection with TMJ. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt dismissed. He seemed more concerned about his lunch order than meeting and listening to a new patient. I explained that I had already been evaluated by a neurologist, including blood work and physical testing, which had been normal, and that I was scheduled for a brain MRI to rule out other possibilities. Unfortunately, Dr. Gold was cold, judgmental, and dismissive of my concerns about TMJ. He did not explain what he was doing during the examination and simply put an instrument down my throat and told me everything looked normal. What was most disturbing was that, despite saying he could not diagnose ALS, he suggested that my symptoms were similar to the onset of ALS and then told me I "shouldn't go to a dark place." I found this incredibly irresponsible and frightening, particularly coming from an ENT who was not conducting a neurological evaluation. When I told him that his comments had made me very worried, his response was that he was "worried for me." There is a huge difference between appropriately recommending that a patient follow up with a neurologist and introducing a frightening diagnosis into the conversation without the appropriate expertise or context. His comments caused me significant anxiety for days. Thankfully, my subsequent brain MRI was normal. I understand that doctors cannot always provide immediate answers, but patients deserve compassion, clear communication, and responsible handling of uncertainty. I left this appointment feeling frightened and dismissed rather than reassured or supported. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Dr. Gold.

    A Heartfelt Thank You to Hackensack Hospital and the PICU Team…read more From the moment we arrived at Hackensack Hospital, I knew we were in caring hands. What we were going through was incredibly scary and overwhelming, but the doctors, nurses, PCAs, and entire PICU team made an experience that was so frightening feel a little easier for our family. I cannot fully express how grateful I am for Dr. Ali and his entire team. The compassion, professionalism, patience, and dedication they showed us meant more than words can say. They not only cared for my child medically, but they also gave us reassurance and comfort during one of the most difficult moments of our lives. And the nurses--WOW! I want to give a very special thank-you to Claire, Thalia, Mia, and Joan. Your kindness, compassion, and the way you cared for us will never be forgotten. You made us feel heard, supported, and safe when we needed it most. I also want to recognize the PCAs, including Ari and Ktis. You welcomed us with such warmth and kindness and made us feel like we were not alone. Every little act of kindness made a difference. The PICU team was truly amazing. There are honestly no words that can fully express how thankful I am for every person who played a part in our care. Each doctor, nurse, PCA, and staff member contributed to making an incredibly difficult experience more bearable. Most importantly, I thank GOD for bringing each and every one of these individuals into our path. I prayed for strength, guidance, and healing, and I am so grateful for the people God placed around us during this journey. To everyone at Hackensack Hospital: THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I will forever be grateful for the care, compassion, patience, and love you showed my child and our family. You didn't just take care of a patient--you took care of a family during a moment when we were scared and vulnerable. For that, I will always be thankful. May God bless every doctor, nurse, PCA, and staff member who cared for us. You are truly appreciated, and you will never be forgotten. With heartfelt gratitude, Nunnally Family

    In 2010, Hackensack University Medical Center is where I had my fibroids removed with the, "DaVinci…read moremachine which is a robotic-assisted surgical system that is used to perform complex procedures with greater precision through small incisions. It works by giving the surgeon a magnified, 3D high-definition view of the surgical site while they control robotic arms with instruments from a console." Dr Michael Pitter (RIP) was my Doctor who performed this masterful work. The nursing staff was simply divine with their TLC, compassion and professionalism kindness towards me. I was preparing to have my Mammogram and Ultrasound done. However, I was informed by my scheduler at Columbia Doctors that I needed my images from my last mammogram (2014) with Hackensack University Medical Center. Today, nothing has changed with the remarkable, caring, positive staffers, that give TLC as their standard. A professional body of heartwarming staff at Hackensack University Medical Center. I called and requested my images. They returned the call the next day, and my images and report were ready. I drove to NJ, got my ticket stamped for free parking from the Breast Cancer Screening Center. Dropped off my images to Columbia Doctors on West 51st Street in the heart of Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall (so cool). At the end of the movie, it was a joyous experience that made me feel truly gratefully happy and cared for by Hackensack University Medical Center and Columbia Doctors/NY Presbyterian Hospital. The great news is that my Mammogram and Ultrasound was negative. AMEN
