DR GOLDMAN                             
Originally from Long Island, New York, Dr Goldman received his bachelor's degree in chemistry from Syracuse University.  He continued his education at Columbia University in New York where he earned his master's degree.  After teaching high school for a few years, Dr. Goldman moved to St. Louis and attended Washington University for his dental degree.
 After graduation he went back to New York for a dual residency program at Long Island Jewish-Hillside Medical Center, one of the top dental residency programs in the United States.  Dr Goldman went through two residency programs at the same time: one in general practice and one in geriatric dentistry.   The program had a strong emphasis on pathology and restorative dentistry. 
Dr Goldman returned to St. Louis in 1982 to begin his private practice.  He also joined the faculty at Washington University School of Dental Medicine, first as a co-director of the Department of Emergency Dental Service, and later as an Assistant Clinical Instructor in the Department of Restorative Dentistry. 
Dr Goldman has passed the Fellowship exam for the Academy of General Dentistry and is very active in continuing education, both taking classes and lecturing local dental study groups.  Dr Goldman is an active member in the AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry),  and the AAID (American Academy of Implant Dentistry).    He is currently in the middle of writing his first book. An avid baseball fan, Dr. Goldman has an extensive collection of autographed baseballs in his office.  It is not uncommon to hear converstations about baseball, as it doesn't take much to get Dr G to talk about the subject.
Married for 25 years, Dr G and his wife, Mary Beth, have a son, Josh, recently graduated from the University of Kansas.  Mary Beth is a make-up artist at Neiman- Marcus.  Josh works for the St. Louis Rams.
