Jerome C. Goldstein, MD

A native of Little Falls, NY, Jerry was a renowned surgeon specializing in Otolaryngology. His passion for medicine resulted in a distinguished career involving surgery, teaching, and administrative leadership, and his efforts influenced many aspects of the growth of this specialty on a national and international level.

Jerry, as he was often referred to, was an integral part of all the major research on the development of the “triptans”, in the 1980s and 1990s, which was at the time a game changer in the treatment of acute migraine attacks.  This was just one of his major contributions to the field of headache medicine, along with improving the quality of lives of thousands of patients who sought treatment at his very busy San Francisco headache center.  He was very philanthropic, especially to the arts and the LGBTQ+ community.  Jerry was very colorful and had a larger-than-life personality and he will be truly missed.
