Social Media and Healthcare
As a spine surgery fellow, Dr. Goldstein has started using social media to connect with patients, physicians, and surgeons. He believes that social media is a valuable tool for healthcare professionals to share information and promote their practice. This is especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic when in-person interactions are limited. Dr. Goldstein plans to continue utilizing social media in his private practice to provide cutting-edge surgical techniques.
Trends in Orthopaedic Surgery
Dr. Goldstein is interested in the trend of minimally invasive spine surgery and how it can be used in an ambulatory setting. He also sees potential in endoscopic spine surgery, which he saw little exposure to in residency. He believes that mastering these techniques is essential for surgeons to stay relevant in the field.
The Importance of Continual Learning

He believes that staying up-to-date with the latest techniques and technologies is crucial to providing the best care for patients. He recommends networking with other healthcare professionals and attending conferences to stay informed about the latest trends and practices.
Advice for Administrators
For healthcare administrators, Dr. Goldstein advises focusing on patient-centered care. This involves making decisions that prioritize patients and their needs. He also recommends encouraging open communication and collaboration among healthcare professionals to provide the best outcomes for patients.
Dr. Goldstein is currently in training to become a minimally invasive spine surgeon and will be joining a private practice in Chicago once he is finished with his fellowship. He is excited about the possibilities of endoscopic spine surgery, which provides a new perspective on traditional surgeries. He believes that if surgeons haven't perfected the MIS techniques, they will be left behind.
