Dr. Scott Goldstein

Scott Goldstein, MD of Philadelphia, PA Annapolis, Maryland, passed away on Thursday, February 15th, 2024, at the age of 72 following a brief illness.

Scott was born on March 28, 1951, to Sam and Florence Goldstein. He grew up in Brooklyn, NY completing his early education at Brooklyn Technical High School followed by college education at the University of Pittsburgh. He received his medical degree at the University of Buffalo (SUNY). Scott completed his residency at Lenox Hill Hospital in NY leading to a colon and rectal surgery fellowship at Muhlenberg Hospital. He completed a distinguished career in colon and rectal surgery at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, retiring in July of 2022.

Despite his intense dedication to his medical career, more than anything, Scott was a family man. He is survived by his beloved wife of 34 years, Joann (nee Bielitsky). With extreme pride, he relished in the academic and career successes of his four sons, Frank (Kyleigh), Samuel (Loreen), Jonathan (Haley), and Charles (Claudia). Perhaps his greatest source of joy was in his role of grandfather (“Gee”) to Charleigh, Levi, and Jack.

He was a beloved brother to Richard, and Joel (Melissa) and a loving uncle to his many nieces and nephews.

It would be remiss not to include the countless patients, whose lives he impacted over the years, the friends whom he cherished, and his colleagues/co-workers whom he esteemed.

Services at Mt. Hebron Cemetery, 130-04 Horace Harding Expressway, Queens, NY 11367, on Sunday, February 18th, 2024, at 2:00 pm. Please omit flowers. Contributions in his memory may be sent to Department of Surgery at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, 1100 Walnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19107.
