I had a very positive experience with Dr. Goldfarb. She is knowledgeable, attentive, and takes the…read moretime to really listen to your concerns without making you feel rushed. I appreciated how clearly she explained everything to my aunt and made sure she understood her options. The office was well-organized, and the staff was professional and friendly, which made the whole visit smooth from start to finish. It's not always easy to find a doctor who combines expertise with genuine care, but Dr. Goldfarb does exactly that. Overall, I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate specialist.

I would NOT recommend Dr Goldfarb for parathyroid surgery. She performed parathyroid surgery on my…read morefamily member and first of all blatantly lied after surgery about how many parathyroids she took out. Right after surgery she said they took one "and a little bit", then in the following days tells my family member 3 were taken out. She also failed to send my family member home taking calcium after the surgery (standard procedure at the best in the country Norman Parathryroid center in Tampa, we have a family member who had parathyroid surgery here). She waited for calcium to get low and have symptoms before treating rather than trying to prevent from going low in the first place. Since then we have had nothing but issues and almost a year later now my family member is suffering from hypoparathyroidism and having to take calcium everyday to prevent symptoms of low calcium, which the internet says this is usually a result of damage caused during surgery. I am convinced she is the cause of all of this. The said she had to dig around and go almost to the spine to find one and I think she damaged something causing the patient to now have a life long issue. The endocrinologist are now saying the parathyroid may never come back and my family member may have to be on calcium for the rest of their life (risking kidney stones) or medication which is a shot every day to manage the PTH levels. On top of that, Dr Goldfarb's surgery left a huge noticeable scar on the neck of the patient. We are now questioning whether the surgery was even necessary. Prior to this, there were no symptoms no issues besides slightly high calcium and slightly elevated PTH showing up on bloodwork and now it is a daily struggle to manage and no doctor in town seems to know what is going on. Dr Goldfarb was cocky and over confident and dismissive when questions were asked about difficulties with parathyroid surgeries. She was also not proactive in working with the endocrinologist to help with these issues. I would never send anyone to this surgeon and certainly would NEVER allow her to cut my neck open. People need to be aware that parathyroid surgery isn't as simple as doctors make it out to be. I just wish my family member would have gone to UCLA or even Norman Parathyroid Center in Tampa or maybe didn't really even need the surgery to begin with but...surgeons make money off of surgery, dont they?

I could easily write a glowing review here about the compassion, attentiveness, and care of Dr…read more Mittermiller, but this review goes out to the team. I want to give a big thank you to the team at Align who are working so hard to ensure that trans people get the care they need. This is a tough job - fighting with insurance companies, hospitals, and all the other people who want to deny us care. Not a lot of people have been willing to go to bat for me in my journey, but Align certainly has. In particular, I want to shoutout Priscilla, the surgery coordinator/patient navigator for Dr. Mittermiller. Priscilla is on the front line dealing with the hospitals and surgery centers that are making it impossible to get surgery dates scheduled. If not for her, no dates would be scheduled at all. She has taken the time to speak with me and reassure me about the process and I know she is doing all she can for every patient. After speaking with Priscilla, I felt more assured that my surgery would happen than I had felt at any other point. Priscilla is a star and so are all the lovely people she works with. The team at Align have a tough job of delivering bad news to patients, but they are far more responsible for the good news patients receive, even if those patients don't know it. This is a team that truly cares about the trans community and, despite how tough the day-to-day might get, they never give up. I hope they see this review to know that they are very appreciated. If you want a team that is going to fight for you and your right to receive car, this is the place to go. Thank you to everyone on this wonderful team from a trans girl who couldn't do this without you!

If I could give him a ZERO I would. Steer clear of this Dr, you will NOT get anything but strange…read morelooks, a condescending attitude and the run around. He will either botch your surgery or cancel it, so just stay away!!!
