Career

Dr. Goldman went to Europe to study rhinoplasty surgery and was one of the first surgeons to become well-known for the procedure in the United States. In the 1930s and 1940s it was very difficult to obtain permission to perform rhinoplasty surgery in the United States of America. Goldman gained favor with the chief of medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital (New York) by performing two successful operations on the chief's daughters.

After the success of these procedures, Goldman's practice flourished. His practice included patients from the most affluent members of New York society and the New York City show business industry, including Dean Martin
