Dr. Morton L. Goldstein
November 11, 1932 - June 14, 2025

DR. MORTON LAWRENCE GOLDSTEIN: 92 of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and Palm Beach Florida passed away on Saturday June 14, 2025 at his home in Pittsburgh. He was born on November 11, 1932.

Morton was a renowned physician heading up one of Pittsburgh's premier medical practices for over 50 years, including being the president of his national medical fraternity. He was a loving and devoted husband and father. He served the community beautifully and was a mainstay of the Jewish community.

Dr. Goldstein maintained a thriving gastroenterologist practice, known for his compassionate and caring nature, gentle bedside manner and strong work ethic, regularly checking-in on patients until well into the evening. Early in his career, house-calls were routine.

Morton is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Racelle Goldstein; his adored children, Michael (Sharon) Robinson, Catherine (Jason) Auerbach and Charles (Andrea) Goldstein; his sister Bernice Neft; and his grandchildren, Lilly Robinson, Winston Auerbach, Teddy Auerbach, Harrison Auerbach, Talia Goldstein, Rafi Goldstein and Kayla Goldstein.  Morton was predeceased by his brother, Enoch Goldstein, and his son, Jeffrey Robinson.

Throughout his life, whether with his family, in the hospital, by a patient's side or on the golf course, Morton always has others in mind first and foremost.

Graveside Services and Interment will be held on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, at 11 AM at Homewood Cemetery, 1599 S. Dallas Avenue, (Squirrel Hill) Pittsburgh, PA 15217.

Myself, my father and mother were all patients of Dr. Goldstein from the time Dr. Rosenthal brought him into his practice. We all trusted him implicitly and admired his dedication and willingness to connect us to the very best specialists available if our problems were beyond his expertise. I went to Dr. Goldstein even during my first pregnancy, telling him I wished he could deliver my baby! It took years for me to find another PCP (he was our family PCP even after he changed the name of his practice to Associates in Gastroenterology) that I trusted as well. Both my parents have passed (Jack and Ann Hyde), but I have thought of Dr. Goldstein over the years, wondering how he was doing. His name will always be for a blessing. Cindy (Hyde) Minogue

Dear Racelle and Michael, I would like to express my sincere condolences and am so very sorry for the passing of Mort. My mother Norma and sister Tammy share in these sentiments and my late father Gerald would have as well. Mort was one of the greatest, dedicated and down to earth physicians of the 20th and 21st centuries. He was a very kind and compassionate man and a very admired physician. I remember when I had a very painful kidney stone once the night of Yom Kippur. My late father Jerry Ziskind called Mort and we went after services to meet him at Presby. He was there and kindly attended to me.Mort leaves indellible foot prints that will forever be on this earth. May Mort's memory forever be a blessing and may the many wonderful times you shared with him comfort you during this very difficult time. With deepest sympathies, Deborah S. Ziskind
