Dr. Benjamin Golas is a very professional, very caring person. He listened to all my concerns and was very instrumental in giving me very good feedback about my illness.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Golas. He is one of the most understanding and patient surgeons I've ever met. From the very first consultation, he took the time to listen carefully to all my concerns and answer every single question I had - and believe me, I had a lot! What truly sets Dr. Golas apart is how thoroughly he explains everything. He doesn't rush through appointments like so many other surgeons do. Instead, he walks you through each step of the procedure in clear, detailed terms so you know exactly what to expect. His calm and caring demeanor instantly puts you at ease and makes you feel confident that you're in the best hands possible. It's rare to find a doctor who combines such exceptional skill with genuine compassion, but Dr. Golas does exactly that. I left every visit feeling informed, reassured, and well cared for. I highly recommend Dr. Golas to anyone seeking a surgeon who truly takes the time for his patients and treats them with kindness and respect.

We didn't need to speak about avoiding injury Thank you

Dr. Golas is a top-notch doctor, sincere, courteous, provided explanations, answered all our questions, listened to our concerns and provided us with some hope with the diagnosis. We would highly recommend Dr. Golas to anyone in need.

Dr Golas is and the staff were very helpful, very professional, very kind, very understanding and very thorough. I would use him as a provider. If the procedure that he performs is applicable to me in the future, and I would recommend him highly. Thank you.
