I would highly, highly recommend the offices of Dr Weidman and Dr Beerman. Both of the doctors are compassionate and caring and I actually look forward to my son's checkups with them. Two instances of them going above and beyond are as follows: Ear Infection My son had recently got over a really bad ear infection that had involved 3 different bouts of medication. I was a Saturday afternoon and he was miserable and pulling on his ears again. I called the pediatrician's office to see what medication he should be prescribed if the urgent care I was about to take him to determined that he did have another ear infection. Dr Weidman was on call and returned my call within a few minutes. He told me not to worry about going to the Urgent care... that he was just about to head to the office anyway to pick up some paperwork and that we could meet him there to get checked out. What other doctor will open their office for you on a Saturday afternoon? Out of Wack I received a call from my son's daycare saying that I needed to come and pick him up immediately. He was sweating and shivering and crying uncontrollably. By time I arrived there, the daycare was about to call 911 because my son kept passing out. After having had bad experiences with infants at the emergency room before, I decided to get in the car and head over to the pediatrician's office instead (which is right next to West Hills hospital anyway). I called on the way over and they said to bring him right in. Within 30 seconds of arriving at the office, we were in the examination room getting checked out by Dr Beerman. While we were there, my son threw up all over himself and ended up in a saturated outfit. Because we had made a mad dash from the daycare, we didn't have any clean clothed to change him into. They gave us some diapers and a spare scrub shirt to put him into so that he wouldn't be cold. Dr Beerman kept him under observation for about a half an hour and then, due to a concern that there were seizures involved, sent us to the emergency room at UCLA (which was our choice of hospital). She contacted the hospital while we were on our way and got all the records over to them before we even arrived. She sent us a message later that evening and both her and Dr Weidman contacted us over the next few days to see how my son was doing and to see how we were doing. This was a huge change from our last pediatrician's office where they did not even contact us after my son had emergency surgery and was in the hospital for 5 days at 2 weeks old! Over all, both Dr Weidman and Dr Beerman have gone out of their way to provide us with exceptional care and, when you add that to the friendly and efficient staff at the front desk, you have a totally winning combination. read more

I'm changing my pediatrician again. The office people are extremely rude, the only person I actually like is the nurse who gives my son and daughter shots. I called them because twice they set up wrong appointments and I was angry after the 3rd time and they didn't even make the situation better they just hung up on me. You guys are not professionals. I'm extremely saddened that they treat parents like this, I'm always a nice person and when I walk up they don't even greet you or look at you in the eye and scold you if you don't bring in your insurance card, (they make copies of your insurance every time. ) They are just rude, unprofessional and only care about the money. I want a pediatrician that cares about my kids as well as us. If your looking for a great person to care for your kids this is not it. Dr. Weidman doesn't even look at your kid he's just very robot like and looks like he can't wait to get out of the office. Dr Bierman is nice but not worth the office staff and their problems. read more

I was looking forward to our first visit with Dr Weidman until he had an intern examined my daughter. I was not happy but agreed and during our exam Dr Weidman rudely interrupted and had the intern stop and go into another room to look at something more interesting than my daughter. He races in and out and therefore you feel rushed on every appointment. read more

Dr. Weidman is very intelligent and doesn't push his agenda on you! I absolutely trust him! He has been my children's pediatrician since day one already 7 years ago. I live in Simi and sill drive to west hills to see him. read more

Dr. Weidman had been referred by a colleague. When I made the appointment, I told the scheduler that my daughter needed the state-mandated booster shots for the 7th grade and she had a few other potential health issues that I wanted to check out. The scheduler indicated that some of that fell under a "sick" appointment and some of it under a "well" appointment, but at no time stated that we couldn't take care of everything in one day. Upon entering the exam room (a good 30-40 minutes past our scheduled appointment time yesterday), Dr. Weidman asked my daughter if she knew why she was there. She said to get her shots. He promptly said no. He stated that he was going to address everything else on the list and we'd have to come back another day for the vaccinations. The appointment basically unraveled. I asked to do the vaccine today instead but that wasn't the order he wanted. I asked if he would please cut us some slack because we were coming to his West Hills office from Burbank but he defended his office policy. I said I'm trying to comply with state law and he countered that it's only my school district that requires the booster by May 4th. When he stated that he "can't" provide shots and a "sick" visit at the same time, I finally asked doesn't he own the practice? He could not overcome the logical implication of my argument - it's his practice, he could give a kid a vaccine if he wanted to - at which point he relented, but was visibly angry. I even stated that I wasn't sure why this had derailed so badly and maybe we should just leave. I wish he had taken me up on that. Over the next few minutes, he openly doubted me when I said that I had tried for months to find a closer doctor but no one I contacted was taking new patients. He rolled his eyes when I could not remember how much my daughter weighed at the time I adopted her from China (11 years ago!). And he literally blurted out "I know in my heart of hearts that you're never coming back here." Aside from the fact that if you're going to act like a complete tool in front of my kid of course I'm not coming back, what is your problem? Dr. Weidman, what, precisely, is your factual basis for assuming that I hadn't tried to find a closer pediatrician? I have a string of e-requests, browser history and phone log that establish otherwise. Likewise, what exactly is your factual basis for assuming that I wasn't coming back? You don't know me. I've got credit card statements that demonstrate I kept my Chicago doctor for several years after moving to California by scheduling appointments during an annual trip to visit family. At the very least, one would expect an experienced doctor to argue based on scientific method rather than unsupported accusations. And while you are entitled to run your practice however you want, couldn't you at least have the professional courtesy to ask me to step out into the hall if you were going to disagree with everything I said? This pediatrician was repeatedly disrespectful to me in front of my daughter. Within 10 minutes, she began to cry so we left. I took back my records and told him to keep the co-pay. Suddenly, he was all about customer service and insisted - repeatedly - on giving the co-pay back. After pulling my kid out of school early, driving more than an hour across the valley and completely stressing her out, the co-pay was the least of it to me. I note however that while the state medical review board would never investigate a complaint for even the worst customer service, it would take seriously a dispute over as little as a co-pay. I don't know what else what going on this man's life that prompted him to literally drive away a brand new customer, but it doesn't matter. Shame on you. It's time to think about retirement. read more

Disclaimer: This review is based upon my experience with the office and front desk, as I never got the opportunity to meet the doctor. I called to make an appointment with Dr. Weidman for the first time, as I wanted a second opinion on my child's diagnosis. He had been sick and on antibiotics for over a month. The office confirmed they accepted my insurance and asked if it was a health check up or sick visit. I told them it was for a sick 8 month old. I was then asked if I was going to be a permanent patient and would fill out the medical release form from my previous doctor. I explained that we had never met the doctor before, so how could I make that decision without at least one appointment. I was put on hold and when the receptionist returned she said that they would not see my son. She said that the doctor does not do second opinions and they only accept permanent patients, "it's just one of our rules". They literally refused to see a sick child because I did not agree to switch doctors without ever meeting him. So, I cannot attest to the doctor's actually capabilities, but I can say that my interaction with his office was a less than favorable experience. Having such a policy seems counter to a profession that is supposed to care for sick children. Be prepared to pledge your allegiance ahead of time should you wish to schedule an appointment with the doctor. read more

Dr. Weidman was and is an excellent pediatrician, very saddened that my insurance changed and medical group over to Kaiser Permanente. Anyways I really dislike that they charge you $25 if you don't cancel your appointment, never has it been brought to my attention and I had no knowledge a medical office can charge you for being a no show. The only charges I know of are my co-payments which I always pay. So make sure !!!!! you call in advance and cancel which I did twice, they take messages and never call you back. Still waiting for someone in billing to call me? read more

I started seeing Dr Weidman for my daughter in January after moving to this area. She was 2 at the time. He was great and I was so pleased that he also became my sons pediatrician from the day he was born, which was also in January. He has only seen my daughter once, but has had many appointments with my newborn son. He came to the hospital every day after he was born and I have been to his office multiple times. My son has an appointment next week which will unfortunately be his last. We are moving. I hope I can find someone who can replace Dr. Weidman for my kids, he set the bar pretty high. read more

Sadly I've switched practices just recently. However, I am almost 21 years old and my family has been going to doctor Weidman for about 30 years for my older brother. I genuinely love everyone that works here. Coming from a female, I loved when doctor Beerman was introduced to this office as well. She is so warm and caring and you really just feel so comfortable. Dr Weidman was there the day I was born and I feel like I could go to him for everything and he would listen to me with out question. I have never been misdiagnosed by him, and they always documented everything about me. If I was unresponsive to certain antibiotics, they would make sure I wouldnt get them again, etc. He knows if I could stay with him until I was 100 years old I would. read more

Dr. Weidman has been our pediatrician since before our daughter's birth over a year ago. I immediately felt comfortable with him at our initial interview. He's very straight-forward and doesn't waste time by coddling the parent too much. The reviewer that says he has a God-complex sounds like they have their own control issues. I appreciate his 'no b.s.' bedside manner. Other thoughts: I've never met a doctor that stayed so current on the latest studies and books relating to their field. His website contains a wealth of information for new parents. Check it out. The first time our daughter had a fever, he immediately responded to our page at 11pm on a Friday night. It was a low grade fever, but it meant the world to frantic new parents. We couldn't be happier. I trust his opinions implicitly. I wish I could find a general practitioner for myself that was as good. read more

Doctor Weidman looks after my two kids. He has seen my daughter since birth. He and his staff are very accommodating and knowledgeable. I like how he leaves the early morning appointments open, just in case there was an overnight emergency. read more

I have been to this office three times in the recent past. Nothing specifically bad per se but it wasn't the right fit for us. The initial visits with the newborn felt slightly rushed and the handling of the the child by the nursing staff appeared a bit rough around the edges. I would have expected a walk through on areas such as how to cut the nails, handling the newborn and other pertinent information for new parents. However, they do provide you with a booklet with some good information to read on your own time. Our experience could be due to us being new parents and potentially over reacting. Overall, I think this office is likely a good fit for most people. Clean office, experienced doctor and the front office seemed nice. However, if you like a fair amount of hand holding, guidance and extended one to one time with the doctor there might be other options that are worth exploring. We found a better fit for our specific needs. read more

Best pediatrician in the area, hands down. Have been going to Dr. Weidman for 20 years and he has never misdiagnosed my 2 kids. Always returns phone calls and can get in to see him when needed. Had a very scary situation with my son recently and again, he was spot on in a very critical situation. Don't hesitate to make Dr. Weidman your pediatrician. read more

Dr Weidman has been our kids' doctor for five years now and I have had a few bad experiences due to long wait times for afternoon appointments. But overall I am very satisfied with Dr Weidman's care for my kiddos. One Saturday my 3 yr old son had a high fever and the rest of the family had all been diagnosed with strep throat, so Dr W made a special visit to the office on his day off to see my son, test him for strep, and prescribe him antibiotics. He really cares about his patients and if he seems aloof or sarcastic at times, it's only because he's seen it all. After being a physician for so many years, he has the experience to know when to worry and when to let things go, and so far he's been right every time. If you see Dr Bierman, you are also in good hands.. she is an angel and my little one absolutely adores her. She seems to take more time during appointments to talk to you and she has a ton of patience too. Thank you to both docs for all the years of outstanding care! read more

Doctor Weidman was my child's first pediatrician due to our insurance change unfortunately he is no longer. We loved taking our daughter to his office he always made us feel great about raising our daughter. He never lectured us or gave us false diagnoses. He knows what to say and how. read more

So this office is pretty good. This guy is my son's current pediatrician. He is a good doctor and i would recommend. I will say that i wasn't entirely happy that i was seen 45 min after my appointment pretty much the last 3 times there, But the guy does seem to know what hes talking about. I like that he takes a minute with my wife and I to answer all our questions. I read some say he's arrogant, cant really say i saw it like that, i would call it confidence. There are a lot of 1/2 pediatricians that shouldn't have a license... This guy doesn't fall in that book, he clearly knows what he's doing. i have been to 2 peds before him and he is by far the best. He even heard a murmur that his previous two docs failed to mention. Now granted it turned out to be nothing but im glad he takes the time to listen and properly diagnose. His office is nice and clean and MOST (not all) of his staff is friendly. I would give him 5 of 5 if it wasn't for unfriendly girl that sits behind the receptionist and the usual 45 min to 1 hour wait. read more

Love, love, love Dr. Weidman, Dr. Beirman and the office staff. I've been with them since Dr. Weidman checked my newborn out of the hospital 17 years ago. Now both of my kids are with them and I couldn't be happier. They have always been there for us!! Wish they would take adults! read more

Fantastic pediatrician who spends time with his patients and truly cares. I have been going for years and have always been treated extremely well. I do not understand the few negative reviews left by some. I have never been treated rudely by the staff. They are all very kind and helpful. Also, most doctors charge a cancellation fee if not notified within 24 hours. That is a common practice. read more

This is a long overdue review of Dr Weidman. He's been my sons pediatrician for the last 2 years since he was a newborn at West Hills Hospital. He's a great doctor and a straight shooter. Most importantly, he has always made himself available at all hours when my son has been sick at night and has always called me back whatever the time. If you want a doctor who's main concern is your son or daughters health and growth you have found the right doctor. read more

Dr. Weidman is an excellent Pediatrician. His staff is very responsive and I was never turned away or delayed with a sick child. He can do some rather sophisticated blood work right in his office which allows him to catch some problems without delay. This was a huge asset in early diagnosis of a serious problem our child had and he wasted no time in referring us to experts at Children's Hospital. He is kind, caring and good humored. My kids are now over eighteen and still like to see Dr. Weidman. It will be hard for them to ever find a more attentive doctor with his high standards of care. read more

Dr. Weidman was my daughter's doctor for approximately 14 years...until she moved out of the area and reached adulthood. During the many years we maintained a relationship with the office Dr. Weidman and staff was amazingly responsive to her needs and ours. He is a great listener and very sensitive to the discomfort experienced by children who are ill. On her visit (for an earache), Dr. Weidman sat next to her to show her that he was a doctor she could talk to and not just an authority figure. Over many years and quite a number of injuries and illnesses, there has never been a time where Dr. Weidman has been unavailable. I don't think Dr. Weidman ever sleeps. He has an amazing way of connecting with patients as they reach the teen years and, as my daughter reached college age---able to schedule her own visits with a doctor of her choosing, she continued to see Dr. Weidman. While Dr. Weidman was always there to discuss any concerns we might have had he was not about to order any tests he felt were unnecessary "just because we suggested them or wanted them". Correspondingly, (and particularly since we were PPO patients, and the doctor was compensated for each visit,or test) when he felt that no treatment was necessary we knew that our concerns were not being ignored. However, when treatment was recommended, we knew that Dr. Weidman's concerns were to be taken seriously. Highly, highly recommend Dr. Weidman! read more

The office is amazingly decorated....but it should be given how expensive they are. I was told that they were in-network with my insurance provider, which means that the general cleaning and assessment are zero out-of-pocket and other dental work cost is minimal. Well....get to checkout and they are quoting $130 plus for the first visit and following dental work to be performed....over $800!!! We have never paid so much for comparable if not more extensive work after insurance. Find out....they are also not in-network.....yay....a waste of time and resources. No thank you....never again. I don't care how lavishly decorated a place is...that just means it is likely coming from out of the pockets of its patients. read more

Smart, caring, rational, and very good at communicating information. We've used him for both our young sons. A little surprised by the very negative review given (jojo).Yes dr Weidmann is confident, but do you really want an insecure modest guy in charge of your kid's health? read more

HUGE shout out to Dr. Weidman. My son was complaining of ear pain, and my husband showed up at the office right before 9 a.m. without an appointment in the hopes that they could fit my son in. When Dr. Weidman got there just before 9, he told my husband that he had to make rounds at the hospital and wouldn't be back until 9:45. But he saw that my son was in pain and saw him BEFORE he left for the hospital. THAT'S what a caring pediatrician looks like. Thank you, Dr. Weidman! read more

Best Doctor ever. Dr. Weidman always calls back after hours. I've been taking my 9 year old since birth and now taking my new born. I've very satisfied with him and his staff. He's up to date on medical info and always answers questions and concerns my husband and I have about out children. I've recomended friends to his office and they also are very pleased with his service. read more

This is the worst pediatrician office. We decided to bring our son here for his first check up. It was a nightmare. They made us wait for the Doctor in the check up room for 45 minutes with our baby in his diaper. We could hear Dr Blackman complaining about all the newborn appointments scheduled at the same time. When she finally came in she had no information from the west hills hospital yet. We had to wait longer and she even sent us to the lab to have more blood drawn from him because she still didn't get the info from west hills. We were there for two hours!! read more

Both Doctors are excellent (Weidman & Beerman) along with a wonderful and very helpful staff. I've been taking my newborn to see them and I feel she is in the best care. They are caring (has appointment slots just for newborns so they won't be near sick patients since they don't have their vaccinations yet), helpful (I call and ask questions frequently), and efficient (my daughter needed to see a specialist and they got us in quickly). I'm a first time mom so any help is appreciated. Also, they don't just care about your newborn, they care about mommies too. It was very sweet to ask how I am doing/adjusting to motherhood. I have nothing but the best things to say about the entire staff! If you want quality care for your child, I highly recommend this office. read more

Husband and I began using Dr. Weidman for our newborn and love his practice. Nurses and staff are great and so thoughtful. Great hours. Dr. is very patient and straight forward. This is my first baby and my husband & I are in our 40's which not sure if that matters but we definitely do our research. read more

I have 14 month old twin boys and couldn't be happier with the care we have received from Dr. Weidman and his entire staff. Everyone is friendly and helpful. We have never had a problem getting a same day appointment for sick visit and have never had to wait too long in the waiting room. My husband and I both appreciate the direct, no nonsense approach from the doctor. He is absolutely on top of his game when it comes to keeping current with studies and treatment. There is never any ambiguity in a care plan. I am so grateful that we found this practice. My boys have always been treated with respect and compassion by every person there. As a mother I appreciate this as much as I do the top notch medical care. read more

Dr. Weidman is the best pediatrician. My oldest child has a few health issues and he is always so patient and through with her examinations. He was able to catch a very small heart murmur that was not diagnosed with our previous pediatrician in Northern California. His office is clean and I almost never have to wait. His exams seem very thorough and he definitely seems to know what he is doing. He is confident in his diagnoses and most importantly, he actually spends the time to LISTEN to what I have to say or ask. I once paged The office at 1am when one of my kids had 104.7 fever, and he called back right away. I'm so grateful for Dr. Weisman's practice. read more

Doctor Weidman doesn't beat around the bush, he always gives it to you strait. My son is a teenager now and he always help me with what to do next. My son has seen many doctors in his short life and Dr. Weidman is his FAVORITE doctor ever and that says a lot coming from a teenager with attitude. He is smart, kind and funny. All the front staff office have always been nice, respectful and very helpful over the phone. The office is always clean and I've never had to wait too long. I have nothing bad to say about Dr. Weidman or his staff. Would definitely recommend him! Love you guys, your the best and keep up the good job. read more

This is the worst doctor I ever spoke with He is very rude and all he care about is the money I honestly don't understand why he choose that job he shouldn't be working with families and he even admit that I don't know how rude he can be . Do yourself a favor and save the time and energy and skip that doctor !!!!! read more

I took my child to see Dr Weismann for the first time because I was told he is a good doctor. He started the taking the background information of my child and when we started discussing vaccinations, I told him she was not up to date on her vaccines because her current pediatrician does not follow up with it. He literally stopped and told me his office policy is that he will not see any patients who are not up to date on their vaccines and this was the last time my child can go there. He did not even suggest that we catch her up or anything, pretty much told us we can't come back. And from that point on, he said he will treat her just because they have me the appointment and he had to. What kind of doctor does that. He could have simply suggested that we make a separate appointment to do the vaccines because this is not something I am against or do not want to do. That is what a real doctor would have done, discussed options and explained how this would benefit my daughter. But instead, he pretty much stopped treatment and kicked us out. What an awful doctor and just an awful human being for doing that to a mom who is there to treat her sick child. read more

My 8 year old daughter is a relatively new patient of Dr. Weidman's. We have had nothing but great appointments. Same day appointments a few times. Dr has great bedside manner. Office is clean. I switched from Pediatric Affiliates in West Hills whose office is going downhill fast, so this office is a refreshing change. I would refer this office to my friends and family. read more

My son is 2 and has been with Dr. Weidman for little over a year. My experience has been great! I never wait longer than 10 minutes, staff is friendly and helpful office is clean and best of all, I love his straightforward, no time waisted approach to his practice. He leaves the parenting to the parents but does give great advice on reading material to help you through! read more

Dr Weidman and his entire staff are wonderful! It took me a while to find the right pediatrician but at my first appointment with Dr Weidman I knew my kids were in good hands. His office is immaculate and his staff is always professional,and kind. My daughter had RSV at two weeks old and he caught it right away. He called me after hours as soon as the test results came in. We had her admitted that night. Dr Weidman stopped by the hospital as often as he could to check on us and called daily for a progress report.His knowledge and dedication to his patients probably saved her life. I recommend this office all my friends and family! read more

This is the WORST Doctor I have ever come across in my life! He is so incredibly arrogant - I now understand about the God complex that I've heard some doctors have. Completely unprofessional!!!! His website states "My staff and I work in partnership with parents," This is completely the opposite experience we've had with him. Among other things...I asked him to run a certain blood test for my son and he refused. He ended up walking out on our appointment, leaving my little boy in his diaper crying. His level of professionalism and bedside manner is horrible, he doesn't return a phone calls because he's "so busy"... please, I want a doctor who cares about my child not his ego! If you care about your child, don't bring him to this guy! read more

I have been a patient with Dr. Weidman for 10 years, and I recently got Medical and he refuses to see me because they won't get as much money from Medical for my care. Dissapointed that Weidman is all about money, as a doctor he was decent. read more

Amazing, brilliant, understanding and available 24/7. This doctor is the first, and only doctor, who has been able to diagnose my son's illness. He was seen by 16 other doctors at UCLA, Cedars, Kaiser and USC, as well as another doctor in the West Hills area. None of them were able to diagnose Jeremy's illness. Finally, a friend suggested we reach out to Dr. Weidman. He is an Amherst College and USC Medical school training. He also shared that he was on Jeopardy....perhaps that proves how brilliant he is. He's a kids doctor, a kids' kid. He talks to them....understands them......and likes them. He urges my son to read......and even promised him comic books if his grades started improving. What a great doctor!!! read more

Dr. Weidman was there as soon as my baby was born. He examined my newborn and immediately reassured me how healthy she was. I NEVER had to wait in his waiting room longer than 5 minutes for our visits. Whenever I needed to talk to him after hours, I could call and he would return my call immediately! His office staff is always friendly and warm and I was always able to see him, talk to him or bring my baby in for a visit. On the weekends, he has met me at his office rather than send me to the emergency room. On the one occasion I needed to see a specialist, he immediately referred me and called the doctor for me. It is very reassuring to call his office and only speak to him! Usually patients talk to a doctor they don't know and has never treated their child.....not me! Dr. Weidman is also Chief of Staff at West Hills Hospital, and all the nurses thinks he's brilliant and kind. read more
