Dr. Angela Goldstein's

Personal Background

Becoming a doctor is the realization of a lifelong dream for Dr. Goldstein. Her first introduction to natural medicine was by a wise old lady, an amateur herbalist, at the age of six. Dr. Goldstein received her nursing training in Moscow, Russia, where she also worked as a cardiosurgical ICU nurse. Following her emigration to the USA, she received her B.Sc. in Medical Cytogenetics technology from the Univ. of Conn.
Realizing the constraints of allopathic medicine, Dr. Goldstein decided to attend the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, OR. Here she earned her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and gained extensive clinical experience during her 2 year internship at the NCNM’S Natural Health Clinics. Dr. Goldstein has served as an Adjunct faculty member for Chapman University and National University, and lectured extensively around Orange County.
Dr. Goldstein is a member of the California Naturopathic Doctor Association and a Fellow of the Institute for Human Individuality. Dr. Goldstein is certified in blood type specific diets & therapies.
Dr. Goldstein stays up to date on new research in alternative medicine and continually incorporates new findings in the therapies that she prescribes.
When not busy with seeing patients, Dr. G spends time with her husband and teen-age daughter and loves traveling, theater, art, music, dancing, and reading.
