Dr. Goldstein was raised in New York state. He graduated from Oneonta State College, Oneonta, NY in 1979 and from Life College of Chiropractic, Marietta, GA in 1983.

Dr. Goldstein developed an interest in natural approaches to healthcare at an early age after his father was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The limited ability of conventional medicine to understand and treat the illness left a strong impression on Dr. Goldstein - perhaps conventional medicine is limited in its approach to chronic illness and achieving good health.

Dr. Goldstein became interested in chiropractic while at Oneonta State College. After Dr. Goldstein was injured while lifting weights, a chiropractor helped him and Dr. Goldstein decided to pursue chiropractic as a profession. Dr. Goldstein's interest in a natural approach continued in chiropractic college when an instructor used a therapy called Applied Kinesiology to treat him. Based on the applied kinesiology examination, the instructor recommended dietary changes and nutritional supplements.The recommendations helped his sinus and skin problems that had bothered Dr. Goldstein since childhood. This experience led Dr. Goldstein to become certified in applied kinesiology while in still in chiropractic college and continue with additional postgraduate studies. Dr. Goldstein is a member of the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK).

In 1993, Dr. Goldstein completed postgraduate courses to become a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP). Since then, he has volunteered as a sports chiropractor at numerous beach volleyball tournaments and road races and continues to help many active people in his office.

Today, after many years in practice, Dr. Goldstein continues to read, take seminars and pursue clinical excellence by keeping up with any information that might be helpful to his patients. In 2000, Dr. Goldstein completed seminars in Functional Laboratory Assessment and a new system for treating patients called Torque Release Technique. This technique is a modern approach to chiropractic assessment that won its founder, Dr. Jay Holder, Florida Chiropractic Researcher of the Year in 1995. Dr. Holder is among a group of practitioners that developed Auriculotherapy, a Chinese system for treating pain, internal disorders and addictions by treating small points on the ear.
