Dr. Goll probably sees many, many patients with the same common problem I have yet he doesn’t make me feel like “just another patient with wrist pain”. He thoroughly explains the cause or causes of the pain and the various treatment options. It is a real win to have a physician who is extremely competent, confident and caring.

I can't say enough good about this practice or Dr. Goll. Office staff is efficient and kind.He does not make you feel rushed.You get his complete attention when he's in the room with you. I had an X-ray, 2 injections and had an interview and was out within an hour and I did not feel rushed and I felt like I got excellent treatment.rater8 Verified Patient

Dr. Goll, an exellent person and doctor. Very professional and cordial. He assesed the issues with my hands and explained everything in detail and asked if I had any questions or other concerns. Was not quick to jump on the surgery wagon, took his time with me. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Goll and I quickly realized that I made a good choice in selecting him to be my doctor.

I had been taking a friend to see Dr Goll. So, when I needed treatment for my own hand troubles I knew he was the guy! In one visit he diagnosed my problem, including explaining in detail what was wrong and recommending how he would treat it. I agreed with his recommendations and I got a non-surgical treatment during this first visit. I highly recommend him.rater8 Verified Patient

Sincerely, one of the best doctors I’ve seen. Dr. Goll is a rare exception in the US Medical Care system, I’m used to drs not even being able to even look at you in the eye or not even show up to the appointment having their PA deal with it, and if they do they will only give you 1 minute of their attention. Dr Goll is the total opposite, very kind, professional, took the time to explain to me everything I needed to know, gave me all the options available for me, made me feel appreciated and taken care of. I highly recommend him! 100% Thank you so much. I really appreciate real doctors that still see a human being on the other side of the table.

This was my first visit with Dr. Goll. My reason for this visit was my right hand.

Dr Goll is an amazingly skilled surgeon with compassion for his patients and compassion for his work. I have been a patient since the late 1990’s and searched for him when he changed medical groups. He has performed 5 of my 7 different hand surgeries between my two hands with great success! He’s going to perform another trigger finger surgery on another finger in addition to carpal tunnel surgeries and surgery for Dequervain’s. I’ve had so many issues with overuse of my hands and I only trust Dr Goll. He’s the best and has an excellent staff assisting him. Two thumbs up!!Patient Submitted Review

I appreciate Dr. Goll immediately telling me that he was there to help me. That he did! Obviously to me, he correctly diagnosed the cause of the pain in both of my hands. He explained my options for treatment and was prepared to immediately administer the injections into my hand that I selected. Most importantly, I went from excruciating pain in both hands which recently had me unable to use them, to my hands becoming virtually pain free! So glad that I selected him...

Underwent first dorsal compartment release recommended to relieve pain from De Quervain Tenosynovitis. I feel I had a very positive experience. Goll team checked my insurances for coverage. Scheduled me for surgery within 2 weeks of last exam. Surgery One has a very easy on-line check in process. That positive experience carried over to all the check in/out staff, surgical staff, and especially with Dr. Goll. He has a really friendly bedside manner. He talked with me during the procedure to explain what pathology he was seeing and explained to me in laymen terms how he would repair it. I am hoping for a speedy, uncomplicated recovery resulting in full, pain free range of motion outcome.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Goll is an excellent surgeon who came highly recommended when I was in need of emergency orthopedic surgery to repair two broken bones in my wrist due to me experiencing a traumatic fall off a ladder.

I've been seeing Dr. Goll for many years. I first met him when my father (in his late 80's) required elbow surgery. The care he gave him was far beyond what I had ever experienced. Since then he performed surgery on my wife's broken wrist and carpal tunnel surgery on both of my hands. We will not go to anyone else. My most recent visit was to have shots is both wrists for arthritis. I usually have this done every 3 months but was over due this time. He took care of the shots without any issue. And as always, was concerned with my overall well being and my wrists in particular. Highly recommend him!!!!Patient Submitted Review

I appreciate his willingness to be personable and he listens; Dr. Goll let me explain what I was feeling before he proceeded with treatment. Before treatments, he explained to me, what he saw on the ultrasound; Dr. Goll allowed time for me to question what I was seeing. Getting injections in the wrist tendons and nerves isn’t painless, however Dr. Goll is such an expert, he is finished before you can say, it hurts.

I broke my left radius close to the wrist pretty badly at the end of June. I was afraid I would lose some precious functions. I was able to see him very quickly. After introducing himself, he asked me what I liked to do! I was so happy he was primarily interested in helping me get my life back as completely as possible. The surgery center was ten times better than any hospital. The staff was busy, professional and still warm and very natural with each other. It’s a well oiled machine. He had to give me a plate and pins to hold the tiny bone pieces together. In 5 days post op, the pain was down to acetaminophen level. I took It about two or three times then that was it. Not even that was needed. People had to keep reminding me that my arm was still broken! In two weeks I was back to playing guitar. I’m so thankful for the blessing of his help.

He comes across as friendly and sensible and several staff members at the surgical center later remarked about his exceptional skill. Dr. Goll and his team explained everything to my satisfaction each step of the way, and the entire process of events from initial consult to final post-op visit went on-schedule and perfectly. I had very little out of pocket expense with my insurance, and no insurance issues arose. I was especially touched when I met Dr. Goll for the final time at my 6-week post-op appointment...he seemed so genuinely impressed with my healing that he was very enthusiastic about it. That made me feel great! Not only because it was unexpected to have made such significant improvement in a short time, but that the person sitting across from me seemed to genuinely care about my recovery and he was excited for me. I couldn't be more pleased, or impressed with the entire experience at Southeast Orthopedics. Dr. Goll is top-notch. If you find yourself in an unfortunate need of an orthopedic specialist, I enthusiastically suggest you look no further and reach out to his office right away. I'm grateful that my search led me to him, and that other offices turned me away first. I seriously feel that strongly and took the time to write this long review about it! It's been 45 days since my surgery and my wrist has healed perfectly and has no limitations. I can do rigorous things like push ups and pull ups again. Amazing.rater8 Verified Patient

I had not used Dr. Goll before this first visit. He spent time explaining reasons for two different hand issues. He showed me diagrams of likely conditions. He reviewed X- rays, and he advised treatments both short and longer term. He did provide treatment in one hand and I'm having successful pain remediation as a result of his intervention.Patient Submitted Review

Dr Goll is great! He truly cares for his patients. He took the time to make sure my left CMC surgery was doing great before scheduling the right CMC joint. Dr Goll has the best physical therapist Sarah that works with his team they both have made my recovery a very positive one all the way around!!!Patient Submitted Review

My visit today was amazing. The staff was so friendly and efficient. Dr. Goll explained the injury to my hand while pointing out the area in the xray. He explained things to me in a way I could understand. He also told me what I needed to do to aid in the healing of my hand. Most of all, he took the time needed to be sure I understood everything and did not rush the visit to get to the next patient. Thank you Dr. Goll and staff for a wonderful visit!

a very pleasant visit , the “intake person/scribe” for Dr Goll was very nice and professional and introduced herself when she entered the room . I am sorry, I did not catch her name. Dr Goll himself was most professional and pleasant and I have full confidence in his medical expertise and decision-making.rater8 Verified Patient

I had a great experience at my appt yesterday. It was confirmed I had carpal tunnel. Dr. Goll was very informative, explained options, and reviewed my X-rays with me. I received 3 injections.

Very pleasant visit. No wait in office even though busy office. Staff was attentive and helpful. X-ray Tech was nice and finished quickly. Dr. Goll’s assistant was efficient in gathering my information for Dr. Goll. Dr. Goll was great. Seemed concerned when asking questions.

Very pleasant and courteous staff… from check-in to X-ray technician to pre-exam interview to Dr. Goll himself. I could not have been more pleased. Dr. Hill’s examination was thorough, answered all my questions and he offered a comprehensive assessment of my case. He was highly recommended to me and he was fully worthy of that recommendation.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Goll is part of a practice of which I already had a very high opinion, and man, did he live up to that standard. Did the entire thing in one sitting - I had expected three or four - and so far, the results are great. I'm absolutely delighted. If you have ortho issues and go anywhere else, you should have your head examined!!!Patient Submitted Review

Very busy office, but was taken in for X rays prior to seeing Dr.Goll. Once in office, I was seen and Dr. Goll determined the next action for my hand. He explained everything to me and gave me an injection to calm the nerves in my hand. When I came out of the office, I was given a piece of paper with my next appt. already scheduled- very efficient! I highly recommend Dr. Goll!Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Goll and his staff were amazing. Friendly, timely, and professional are just a few words to describe my visit. As a new patient you never know what to expect. Unfortunately I keep expectations low because of past experiences with businesses in general. I go with what I’m given and it’s either oh well I will not be returning, or ok I’m glad I get to go back. I was very pleased and look forward to my follow up.Patient Submitted Review

VERY accommodating, especially considering the fact that his office received the request for an urgent visit the day prior. Eased our anxiety as he took the time to walk us through (with visuals) and fully understand the severity of the injuries sustained and his plan for tackling the surgical procedure necessary to obtain maximum results for full use of the hand long-term. Scheduled surgery w/in same week. His staff left nothing to be desired. Everyone was extremely professional and compassionate.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Goll performed surgery on my arthritic thumb and I was very pleased by his expertise and professionalism throughout my experience under his care. I did review his previous schooling and medical experience and was also pleased to hear, from another doctor that treats me, that he highly recommends him. When other medical professionals have high praise for others in their profession it gives me great reassurance, and therefore I would not hesitate to say that you are in the best hands under Dr. Goll.Patient Submitted Review

Dr Goll was recommended to me five years ago by my Primary Physician as "The best hand doctor in Jacksonville". I have no reason to dispute this. From my experience, his medical advice has been right on, he maintains an on-time schedule, he has a superior PA working with him and he is very neat and clean in his professional appearance.Patient Submitted Review

I love the bedside/ office manners there so much. Dr. Goll explained everything unlike my last surgeon. And because I've tried all the treatments for several years, he didn't waste any time scheduling my surgery. I was so happy. The staff is also amazing and the office is kept very safe too. Truly for hands I have to recommend this doctor. One of my own doctors is being treated there and he loves how well they are caring for his ankle.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Goll is fantastic! I was in absolute agony in my hand/wrist to where i couldn’t even hold anything. I made an appointment, an X-ray was done, he explained my options with pros and cons for both. I elected for the surgery and now I have no pain and full range of use of my hand and it’s only been six weeks. I would recommend him without any hesitation.Patient Submitted Review

The guy was great. Assistive in every manner. Not a hungry greedy acting gentleman. Honest to a fault. Must admit folks have been seeing more and more petty behavior in medical with all of the changes and what people call "the new way". "The new way" should never be accepted by the people. We all know that it is a socialized managed healthcare we are dealing with that will become worse making it harder for doctors to do what they truly went to school for. To heal beyond what insurance will allow today period. So- office was kind and thoughtful. Doc was honest and gave it an old school feeling. If your older you may appreciate this behavior coming from a doctor.Patient Submitted Review

Top hand surgeon. I went in with pain and left pain free. In fact the following week I scheduled for my right hand carpal tunnel surgery and at night I slept like a baby. Prior to surgery I was up at night in massive pain using bags of ice to numb my hand. By Monday oil could use my hand. When they took the stitches out I was on the pickle ball court as well as back in the gym.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Goll was completely professional but also showed he cared about my problem and me as a person. He performed surgery on my broken wrist and just like he said, sutures came out in 2 weeks, and it felt so much better. He encouraged me to do exercises for my wrist which helped immensely. At 7 weeks, I was able to use it without worry of any damage. I hope never to have need of his services again, but if I do, I will certainly seek him out.Patient Submitted Review

Recently I broke my wrist. The Emergency Room at the hospital recommended Southeast Orthopedic Specialists. During this difficult time, Southeast was truly phenomenal from the scheduling, to the X-Rays, to the staff, and lastly the amazing Dr. Goll. He is a professional, talented, and very caring doctor. On a full surgery schedule, he added me and did my surgery the very next day after my diagnosis. My surgery went very well and my recovery too thanks to Dr. Goll and his staff.

Fixed my long-time problem of carpal tunnel with one injection. What impressed me most was when I said to another patient in the waiting room I was irritated that he spent so little time with me and walked out while I was talking, he sat down with me in his real office to tell me he’s sorry and did I have any other questions! Too often doctors just ‘fire’ you over nothing because they have such a large influx of patients they just don’t care... but he DOES care! I have complete confidence in himPatient Submitted Review

Dr. Goll is one of the best for hand surgery. He is very knowledge and has a great bed-side manner. He does a good job reviewing your situation and gives you options and does not push surgery. I ended up getting surgery on my 5th metacarpal and he did a fantastic job with the surgery and quick recovery. He even had a great incision.

I was first referred to Dr. Goll in 08. I was 17, required prompt surgery, and my parents were out of the country. He took the time to call them and explain everything. I returned several years later for a different injury and subsequent surgery where I felt the same gentle confidence of care. I recently returned to him for issues both in- and outside the realm of his specialty and he did a thorough job of testing, treating, and referring me. Thanks for your caring and knowledge, Dr. Goll.Patient Submitted Review

During Christmas, I broke, not one but both wrists snowboarding. I went to Southeast Orthopedics and saw Dr. Goll am so very glad I did. In looking at my fractures, he recommended surgery to ensure I get full range of motion back. I work with my hands and felt that was the better choice. The surgery went great, and the healing time was so much shorter. I am still regaining strength in both hands, but I am so very pleased with the result. Dr. Goll, if you read this, THANK YOU so so much!!!Patient Submitted Review

Excellent physician. Confident, but not prideful. I had been searching for answers to my elbow pain for over 3 months. After some plain x-rays and a few simple manipulations of my elbow/hand Dr. Goll confidently explained what was causing the pain, explained the prognosis, told me all the other things I could try that wouldn't work and sent me down the hall to be fitted for a custom brace. Southeast Orthopedic Specialists office runs like a well oiled machine.Patient Submitted Review

Absolutely one of the very BEST hand specialist in Jacksonville. Dr Goll has performed surgery on each of my wrist for the carpal tunnel syndrome condition. He had also cleared up a tunnel leading to my middle finger that had been crushed and restored complete usage of that finger. If surgery wasn't necessary, he gave me a shot in my fore-finger that had the trigger finger syndrome. I had complete recovery after each operation and was free of pain. He deserves a 10 star recognition !!!Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Goll is an excellent surgeon. He performed arthroplasty surgery on my left wrist May 10. He explained the procedure and answered all my questions. My cast was removed May 23 and I began physical therapy. I went to physical therapy and also did the exercises at home three to five times daily. Dr. Goll was very pleased with my progress. I would recommend Dr. Goll to anyone with hand problems. He will perform the same surgery on my right wrist later.Patient Submitted Review

I met with Dr. Goll, who completed X-rays and an analysis of my injury. He took the time to discuss my upcoming surgery (to install a plate in my arm) and my prognosis in detail. I was scheduled for outpatient surgery two days later.\r \r The surgery, recovery and post surgical checkups went very well and I was given the OK to resume my normal activities. I would definitely use Dr. Goll again and recommend him to others. He is a talented surgeon with a kind and reassuring manner.\rDoctor of Medicine

I have been seeing.Dr.Goll for a while now for both my hands I asked him serious carpal tunnel issues. I was seeing him for shots that helped temporarily into the I couldn't take them anymore and then suggested carpal tunnel release surgery. Well that was the best decision I ever made. Dr Goll is very knowledgeable and professional and he has a great personality. He made me very comfortable like I was family I had the surgery done on both my hands and the outcome is amazing! The severe pain I used to have at night where I couldn't sleep in both hands is now gone. I feel like a new person thanks to Dr Goll. I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am to him for what he has done for me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone with hand issues to see Dr Goll at Southeast orthopedic. Because of him I have a pain-free life thank you Dr Goll
