About
An independent company for professional sports medicine services.
Gold Standard Sports Medicine LLC exists for everything outside the clinic walls: expert and medicolegal work, private second opinions, event and team coverage, and recovery retail. Clinical care stays where it belongs, with Dr. Goldwaser's practice.
The company
What we are, and what we aren't.

The company does not provide clinical care, operate a medical practice, or bill insurers. Appointments, procedures, and ongoing treatment remain with Dr. Goldwaser's clinical practice at drgoldwaser.com.
Gold Standard Sports Medicine LLC is an independent company. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of Columbia University or NewYork-Presbyterian, and nothing on this site implies institutional endorsement.
