As an Endometriosis Specialist in NYC, Dr. Goldstein uses painless, non-invasive Transvaginal Ultrasounds to diagnose whether women experiencing pelvic pain, painful periods and heavy bleeding during periods have endometriosis. Implants of endometriosis can occur anywhere; however, the more common areas of involvement include the bladder wall, ureter, and anterior abdominal wall in patients who have had abdominal surgery such as a prior C section or laparoscopy. When using transvaginal ultrasounds, Endometriosis of the bladder wall appears as a fusiform solid thickening of the wall itself. A non-functioning kidney may be the result of chronic ureteral obstruction that is silent and present as a result of endometrial implants impinge on the ureter. In patients who have had prior abdominal surgery, endometriosis may present as a hard, solid mass in the anterior abdominal wall in the region of the scar. Little color flow may be present and the mass is often tender. Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD is not just the Director of Gynecologic Ultrasound at NYU Langone Medical Center, but he is a skilled operator of Transvaginal Ultrasounds and personally conducts each of these ultrasounds to properly diagnose his patients. Dr. Goldstein recently received the Joseph H. Holmes Clinical Pioneer Award which honors individuals who have significantly contributed to the growth and development of medical ultrasound. In addition to what Dr. Goldstein sees on the screen, these transvaginal ultrasounds lead to the production of clear, high resolution images of the uterus, endometrial lining, fallopian tubes, ovaries and so on to allow Dr. Goldstein to make a precise diagnosis and preserve the images for any other specialist who may need to see them. At Dr. Goldstein’s office, patient care is catered to the patient and Dr. Goldstein is the only medical personnel you will see on your visit as he attends to you from beginning to end, personally performing all examinations and procedures and of course the transvaginal ultrasounds to detect whether the patient has endometriosis and if so the details of the diagnosis. After the transvaginal ultrasound procedures, Dr Goldstein will discuss the results and diagnosis with the patient and agree on the best possible course of moving forward. Dr. Steven R.

Doctor Steven R. Goldstein MD is a top Gynecologist in NYC in private practice for over 25 years. Dr Goldstein had this to say regarding HMOs in volume 1, issue 1 of The Doctor’s View by New York University Medical Center. To HMO or not to HMO…why I don’t join HMO plans I am often asked “When am I going to join a plan which is offered at work?” by many of my patients. My response is “you wouldn’t like me on those plans”. My patients need to realize I am a solo practitioner. I see patients one at a time. I take my histories by pen and by ink. I talk to every patient after every visit, no matter how trivial, dressed again in the consultation room. I do not have nurse clinicians and “Physician extenders” doing much of the work that I feel you come to see the doctor for. We do not have a ten page history intake form that is simply scanned into a computer. We do not have an answering system with “Press 1 for appointments, Press 2 for insurance”. We do not have a videotape library in the waiting room. If you have a problem I sit with you and explain for as long as I need to be sure that you understand the nuances of your particular diagnosis and treatment plan. This expert Gynecologist in NYC goes on to say: Managed care medicine (HMOs) in Ob/gyn is a commitment to VOLUME. Out of financial necessity, more people need to come through the door. This is why they use “Physician extenders” in the form of videotape libraries, nurse clinicians, pamphlets, and nutritionists and all types of paramedical assistance to make the patient feel that the visit has been worthwhile and productive although the time spent with the physician him or herself is incredibly short. I choose not to practice medicine that way. I urge you to attempt to maintain a Point of Service option in any plan that you may be offered. With a point of service option we can attempt to work with you and your insurance so that you can continue to see me “out of network”. Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD is a top Gynecologist in NYC.
