About
Dr. Michael B. Goldberg is a leading surgeon-scientist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex esophageal disorders, particularly gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophageal dysmotility. His major contribution lies in challenging conventional surgical dogma by demonstrating that minimally invasive fundoplication is both safe and effective for patients with severe esophageal hypomotility—a population traditionally considered high-risk for post-operative dysphagia. In his landmark 2016 study, cited 17 times, Dr. Goldberg provided critical evidence that carefully selected patients with impaired esophageal motility can undergo fundoplication without prohibitive complication rates, expanding surgical options for those with refractory GERD. His work bridges the gap between gastroenterology and thoracic surgery, offering nuanced guidance for managing coexisting reflux and motility disorders. Beyond this, Dr. Goldberg has contributed to refining perioperative protocols and patient selection criteria, helping to reduce morbidity in high-risk surgical populations. His research is widely referenced by clinicians seeking evidence-based approaches to challenging esophageal cases, and he is recognized for his commitment to improving outcomes through rigorous, patient-centered investigation.
