The address is now 2000 S Colorado Blvd. in the Annex Bldg., suite 100
Dr. Goldstein is fantastic. After 13 years of annual eye appointments in Bozeman, Montana, I finally feel like I have had a thorough examination with Dr. Goldstein. His office was easy to find and parking was free. I did not wait at all. In fact, I was late because of an appointment at another doctor’s office before that and Dr. Goldstrin’s office was very kind about my tardiness and got me right in when I arrived. My prescription changed slightly in one eye, but I was told it was not enough to warrant running out and getting new glasses. My old Dr.‘s office also sold frames and they always acted as if I were doing myself harm by not changing out my glasses Rx immediately. I am happy to have found a doctor who comes so highly recommended and seems so competent.

Let the buyer beware. i have been going to this doctor for 4 years, paying a $ 45 copay for routine eye exams, dilation only. This year I received a bill for $ 361 and was told since he had aligned himself with University Physicians, his fee was now coded as Outpatient and not Office. After writing a letter to the doctor, I received an apologetic phone call and a promise to visit the billing branch of UP and set things right. Instead I got a call from one of his minions who tried to explain why the cost was just.

Dr. Goldstein is a superhero.
I had the WORST eyes in the world. I was scared to drive. People were scared to drive with me. Especially at night, are you kidding me?
3 weeks ago, I had CUSTOM LASIK and yes, it was sci-​fi and odd as hell, but now I have laser eyes and I have a check-​up in a week, but I truly think I’m seeing better than ²⁰⁄₂₀ at this point.
I researched local doctors for a solid year and Goldstein came on top without question. When he discovered that I had a lazy eye as a child and had not had surgery to correct it, he made sure that I saw a specialist before he took care of the Lasik because he wanted to see what the odds were of me being cross-​eyed after the surgery. And that was a week before I was scheduled to have the surgery.
I went to another doctor who told me they weren’t sure if I could have Lasik because of my prescription and that I’d have to have a special test before they would do it. Then, they shuttled me of to a camp counselor who wanted me to schedule the surgery two days from then even though they had no idea if I was a candidate or not!
No pressure with Goldstein. He gives you a thorough understanding of the procedure and is patient and will answer all questions. Dr. Goldstein: Did you ever know that you’re my Hero?
