Your Real Champion® – “Ode to a Mentor“
Dr. Franz Goldstein lost his entire family in war-torn Germany and came to America alone in 1947. Grateful for his new start, he devoted his life to the art of healing and distinguished himself as a world class gastroenterologist and a highly respected expert in inflammatory bowel disease. He was admired by patients and colleagues alike as brilliant and refined, but most importantly… he was humble.
