GOLDSTEIN, Dr. Stephen A.

On January 22, 2020, the Justice League bid a final farewell to the REAL Superman: Dr. Stephen A. Goldstein. Stephen was surrounded by his beloved family and friends when he peacefully slipped his planetary bonds and left to conquer worlds unknown.

Born in Buffalo, NY in 1969, Stephen raced to the finish line four minutes before the arrival of his identical twin brother. His superpower was the ability to transform ordinary strangers into lifelong friends. He welcomed all with robust bear-hugs and left each of us feeling like a celebrity. He was an excellent cook with a tendency to leave the kitchen looking like a war-zone - apparently cleaning up was Stephen's Kryptonite. He was up for any adventure and spent the summer after college touring the US with his brother in a small Civic Sedan with a two-man tent.

Stephen earned his medical degree from SUNY Upstate Syracuse and underwent ENT training at Thomas Jefferson Medical Center. After a fellowship at Emory, he returned to Philadelphia where he served as the director of Facial Plastic Surgery. He relocated to Tucson in 2010 as an Associate Professor and started the new department of ENT and Residency Training. Dr. Goldstein's philosophy was to treat every patient with compassion and respect - a goal he met with resounding success.

Stephen's greatest pride was his marriage to Dr. Melanie McCarty. Together, Melanie and Stephen welcomed three sons and have filled these fleeting years with joy, adventure, and love.

His loving family includes his wife, Melanie, and their three sons (junior superheroes) Leo (6), Milo (4), and Jonah (4). He will be missed by so many, but especially his mother, Karen Tabor; siblings, Scott (Suzy) Goldstein, Lori (Mark) Motis, Kim (David) Kaffey and also Sheila and Linn McCarty.

Services will be held at Evergreen Cemetery on Friday, January 24, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. Memorial donations may be made to St. Michaels School in honor of Dr. Stephen Goldstein. Arrangements by EVERGREEN MORTUARY.

Dr. Goldstein was my doctor when I broke my neck and paralyzed my vocal cords. He saved me byrestoring my voice. I am a singer. The first time I met him he had me yodel with the camera up my nose, then he had to take a call from his Rabbi as he was getting married soon. Through the years whenever I needed the best ENT in the land, I called Dr. Goldstein. Today was such an occasion...A And when I called I got the sad news. I've been crying all afternoon. I hope his family and friends can find some comfort in the fact that he made such a great impression on so many people. My sincerest condolences. Godspeed Dr. G

I met Stephen on a flight to Atlanta. I realized immediately that he was a warm and kind soul. We became friends. Talked often about anything and everything. We got together ocasionaly, but, not often enough. I feel so honored to have known Stephen. Let me tell you, this place called Earth will not be a better place without Stephen. Condolences to Melanie and their dear team of young wonderful children.

Steve was a real mensch. He was an excellent surgeon and a great guy. We met several times in the doctor's lounge at UMC, and I used to see him at the gym recuperating from his various surgeries. We shared the same last name, and we both were from Buffalo, N.Y. I want to share my sincerest condolences to Melanie and the boys and hope that time will mitigate their loss.

I am shocked beyond belief to hear of Dr. Goldstein's death! He repaired my lip to perfection after a dog took a quarter of it off. To this day, nobody can tell. I am saddened beyond belief, I always joked with him that I was keeping him on retainer! My heartfelt condolences to his family and patients. We have lot a fabulous plastic surgeon. All my love to him, Trudy Jacobson, UA College of Medicine retiree.

I worked with Steve at Graduate Hospital Operating Room in Philadelphia when he was a resident. Steve was a pleasure to be with and his love of life and people was very evident. My deepest sympathy to his wife and family who are who you are because of Steves love for you.
I offer you my prayers for healing of your hearts.
