Gynecologist in NYC: Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD

Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD is a top Gynecologist in NYC and one of the most highly recognized and regarded individuals in the field of vaginal probe ultrasounds. Dr Goldstein is the Recipient of the 2018 Joseph H. Holmes Clinical Pioneer Award from the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM). This is in recognition of Dr Goldstein’s distinguished career in ultrasound in medicine, and making outstanding contributions to the growth and development of medical ultrasound. Thus Dr Goldstein is highly qualified and very experienced in seeing patients presenting with Endometriosis.

 

One of the conditions that women may experience is called Endometriosis. It is characterized by severe pain during periods. However, there is also a medical condition call “dysmenorrhea,” which is Latin for painful periods. Thus, not all patients with severe period pain have endometriosis.

Originally, laparoscopy (a surgical procedure to look inside the abdomen) was the gold standard for making a differentiation for pain that might be from endometriosis versus normal severe painful periods. As an expert Gynecologist in NYC, Dr. Goldstein does not recommend laparoscopies, but uses painless, non-invasive Transvaginal Ultrasounds to diagnose your condition.

Increasingly, the use of Transvaginal Ultrasound, something that Dr. Goldstein has pioneered, can help to make a strong enough presumptive diagnosis of endometriosis so that patients can be treated without the surgical procedure of laparoscopy. These transvaginal ultrasounds are painless non-invasive procedures that are performed in the comfort of Dr Goldstein’s office in a few minutes without anesthesia or the painful effects of surgery.

Women experiencing painful periods or heavy bleeding during periods may schedule a consultation with Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD, a top ranked Gynecologist in NYC.
