PETER GOLDMAN Obituary

GOLDMAN--Dr. Peter M., 74, passed away peacefully on January 4, 2020 in Palm Springs, CA, after a long illness. Dr. Goldman was an internationally renowned dermatologist, who practiced in the Beverly Hills area for over 40 years before his retirement in 2016. He was recognized by medical colleagues as a true visionary, pioneering many aspects of cosmetic dermatology and hair restoration surgery. And legions of devoted patients trusted his expert care, artistic eye and unrivaled empathy, especially those with hair loss. He was born on June 21, 1945, in New York, NY, to parents Dr. Irving and Rose Goldman. Dr. Goldman graduated from Tufts University in 1967 and Tulane University Medical School in 1971. He trained as a dermatology resident at UCLA until 1975, then taught as Clinical Associate Professor of Dermatology at UCLA while in private practice. Dr. Goldman will be remembered as a man of intellectual curiosity, a great and giving teacher, and generous soul to his family, friends, colleagues and patients. He is survived by son Eric Goldman and daughter Kimberly Goldman from his marriage to ex-wife Marilyn Goldman, partners Chad Parsons and Wolfgang Bauer, grandchildren Kelly, Oliver and Eve, and brother Jonathan Goldman, and predeceased by brother Richard.

I was one of Peters first patients after he left UCLA. He changed my life and I will always be grateful for his friendship and expertise. I am devastated.

Dr. Goldman was a rare human being and doctor. He was my dermatologist for many years when I lived in Studio City. He cared for his patients with empathy and knowledge. I have never forgotten him and how he impacted my well being. I was looking up dermatologists and came across his obit. My sincere condolences to his family.

Goodbye but not forgotten Peter. May G-d rest your soul. I will never forget our times in Med school and the externship over the summer in Miami. You were a wonderful physician and a great Dad and will be sorely missed taken from us too soon, but I suppose there are a lot of people needing hair transplants in Heaven. How lucky are they now.
I pray you are at peace and that G-d grant comfort to your family.
With great sadness your friend forever
