Most of his professional career was spent in Boston where he was the Henry H. Banks Distinguished Professor of Orthopaedics at Tufts University School of Medicine, and Chairman of the Department of Orthopaedics at Tufts Medical Center. Dr. Goldberg's major areas of clinical interest have been in the diagnosis and management of children with syndromes, complex birth defects, and skeletal dysplasias. He has been a vocal advocate for measuring outcomes and functional performance of children undergoing orthopaedic treatments and helped develop some of the tools now in common usage.

Dr. Goldberg has served in leadership positions and elected office at the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the AMA, and the ACGME. Believing that a physician's responsibility is to comfort and heal in addition to attempting cure, Dr. Goldberg has emphasized the importance of art, music, and literature as a way to understand patients and their diseases.
