I went in to this office because Dr. Weintruab was in network with my insurance. From the first phone call with Teresa I knew I was in good hands. On the day of my first appointment several months back, everything was seamless. Teresa was more than friendly. On a few occasions I had to bring my kids with me and never felt like they were a burden. Both Teresa and Dr. Weintruab were very polite and professional. Over the course of several months and treatment, I was treated with respect and never had any issues. On the contrary, it was always a pleasure. My medical concern was addressed completely with treatment and I can't thank both Dr. Weintruab and Teresa enough for how I was treated. Definitely going back if anything comes up. Thank you! read more

He is very knowledgeable and has his own line of products. He explained everything in a way my daughter could understand.

I had a bad feeling during my phone call with the receptionist while making my appointment. She was rude and condescending. When i arrived for my appointment, she was huffy, rude and seemed annoyed with me and her job. I asked her for my drivers license and insurance card back and told her i was going elsewhere because she was so rude. read more

I regret not reading the reviews before my appointment. I have more than my fair share of moles. I told him I haven't been to a dermatologist for years for a mole check, so I was surprised he only looked at my back (didn't even check under my bra strap) and my stomach. I would have said something, but I realized when that was the extent of his exam that it was a waste of time. I had to point out an area of concern to him and he dismissed me with a cream. I wish I could get a refund on my co-pay. read more

One star is too much for this office! The office manager Teresa was extremely RUDE when I asked for the address and the time of my appointment. I called her before my appointment and she seemed very annoyed! I don't know if she's racist or not. As an office manager, she should have more respect and good customer service for NEW client or clients in general. I recommend not going there!!!! read more

I have been visiting Dr. Weintraub for a couple years for treatment and maintenance of skin issues. On every visit, Dr. Weintraub is absolutely excellent. He makes sure to give you his full time and attention to address any questions or concerns, and listens to his patients' feedback. His treatment and recommendations have been very effective, and he clearly communicates all details of the treatment, including the why. He remembers his patients and treats them like individual human beings while working together toward a working treatment solution. His staff is great - very friendly, open and communicative. Scheduling and availability is always easy, and I'm never kept waiting when I arrive to an appointment. He is absolutely excellent on every level! read more

Super nice guy and his office manager was great. Had some moles removed and was in and out in under 20 minutes. Will be back next year for my annual appointment. read more

Not gonna lie, even when I see some bad reviews I try and give someone a chance, but I should have trusted the luke warm reviews of Dr. Weintraub. I went in for just an annual skin check. He didn't even get up from his chair! He simply asked if I had an area of concern. HE is the doctor. Shouldn't he tell ME what I should be concerned about? Then he proceeded to tell me he wouldn't remove my age spots during the summer because when he does that people complain when they return because they are out in the sun. Ok ... He spent more time pimping out his opera teacher than he spent in my appointment. Charged a $60 copay. Never again. Not a thorough doctor and not someone I feel I can trust to have my health in his best interest. read more

Staff/receptionist is completely oblivious how to perform her job. I had made an appt to come see the dr a month in advance- I ended up calling the weekend before my appt to inform them I won't be able to make my appt. they should have received my voicemail over the weekend, I work full time and have an infant so I rarely pick up calls. They ended up calling me on the day of my appt , I was unable to answer (I already left a vm 48 hours in advance informing them I won't be able to come so there was no reason for me to answer and repeat myself). Flash forward a couple months down the road and they mail me a 50$ no show fee (mind me it's my wrong name on the invoice lol!) First & foremost i will never pay that invoice. To your incompetent receptionist, please do your job and make sure you check voicemails. Delete me from your system, as I will never come to your office nor recommend you to anyone! read more

I'd been going to Dr. Weintraub for painful acne for a few years. He was always really open about the process, didn't try to sell me any additional or unnecessary products (and was open and accepting when I wanted to stop a product), and made the medical/science-side of things easier to understand, which I LOVED and really appreciated. I really liked his process of asking questions, listening, and using that to decide the best recommended course of action. It always felt as though he was actively listening to my concerns and how I was responding to treatments/products, so we could find the best products for me. I started with a topical steroid and oral tablets and then just oral tablets as the acne eased and became less painful. Having clearer skin and no painful acne really boosted my self esteem, and I'm really grateful to feel confident and no pressure to wear foundation/want to cover my skin or avoid pictures. Also, he was also able to help a relative by correctly figuring out a nail issue that had been going on for a couple years and kept getting misdiagnosed (even by other dermatologists). The women in the front are friendly and almost every time I went in, they would give me free samples (not sure if this is still happening but it was certainly a nice perk!) so the general feeling of the office is warm and nice. If you have skin or nail concerns, I definitely recommend Dr. Weintraub!! (Pictures show my skin from the start of using the products, from when my acne got much better, and finally from now--little to no acne--because I avoided pictures and used filters when I did have acne. There is some scaring, which I don't mind.) read more

What I appreciate about Dr. Weintraub is how he'll try a non-invasive approach first. His pleasant, personal manner always made me feel like a patient, not a number. Also, the free samples were helpful: found a few new products. Also, his receptionist is on top of things! read more

Both the lady in the front and Dr Weintraub were both really helpful. They were quick to get me help and they answered any questions or concerns I had. A very warm and supportive place read more

Giving a second review as a follow up and the results speak for themselves!! Thank you ever so much!!! read more

Dr. Weintraub is a fantastic doctor. I've seen him for a couple issues I was having and both were treated carefully and quickly. I always get comprehensive care and advice from every visit. The office receptionists are always very friendly as well. My husband recently started seeing him and had no complaints. I always love the free samples too! Definitely recommend this dermatologist. No regrets so far. Thank you for the great service and care! read more

Dr. Weintraub removed two troublesome skin issues, one on my forearm and one on my cheek. He listened to my concerns about scarring and used the method I requested. The procedure was quick and painless. I have healed well, with little scarring. I recommend his services. Also, the office has implemented practice and effective COVID-19 protocols, reducing the risk associated with in-person visits. read more

Staff: Amazing and friendly staff. Very helpful and cheerful. They talk to you and not just focused on getting the appointment over with. Helped me get the time slots I needed. Doctor: Easy to talk to. Patient and quick to diagnose. Had my skin problem go away with simple creams rather than suggesting complicated procedures and multiple visits. Office Space: Very clean! Allowing one patient in at a time and I've never seem more than 1 patient I. The waiting area. Hand sanitizer as soon as you walk in to make sure you done accidentally infect anyone. Highly recommend his services! I've found my dermatologist!! :) read more

I came to see Dr. Weintraub because I had a really bad skin reaction to a surgery in my right hand. Before coming to Dr. Weintraub, I spoke to my surgeon who said I had a reaction to something I had put on my hand. I explained that it was in my whole arm. He asked to see my primary or a dermatologist. I decided To see Dr. Weintraub. De. Weintraub examined my arm and said that this was a reaction to something they have given me during surgery. He gave me medicine and within two days the rash started disappearing and my discomfort was gone. I am so impressed with his care. I sent my mom to get a mole check. Thank you Dr. Weintraub read more

I have just returned from my first appointment with Dr. Weintraub and felt compelled to write immediately. This doctor is a straight shooter who examined my complaint, made an assessment had me on my way quickly... but without rushing in any way. My wait time was minimal (I was in an examination room moments after finishing my new patient paperwork) and his demeanor was professional, yet warm. I'm relieved to know I have competent practitioner so close to home. read more

Dr. Weintraub is a great doctor. Very professional. One quick look and he knows what is going on. I have seen him few times in last 20 years. Every time the medications he prescribes works like a magic. Would highly recommend him. read more

Great doctor. HORRIBLY rude staff. I wonder if Dr. is aware of how they treat patients? Tried to talk to him regarding it......they won't give him the message. read more

Update: I've since gone to another dermatologist and had to change my review. I went to Dr. Weintraub for a few follow ups and then were a complete waste of time so I went elsewhere. My new doctor did a full body exam and found two items of concern. I had a mole removed and one is being monitored though photos they keep in my file.. completely different experience. The new office was busy and I had to wait but busy is good right? Original review: Nice staff, comfortable office. I was brought to an exam room right away and I was see by the doctor immediately. Dr. Weintraub was very pleasure and honest. He listened to my concerns and did not try to push any extra procedures. read more

Dr Weintraub is an AMAZING dermatologist he is very down to earth! I recommend him over any other dermatologist in Simi! He will make you feel very comfortable! read more

I took my daughter to see Dr Weintraub for a skin rash that was spreading across her face and chest. While it seemed to be a reaction to something new, we didn't want her to have to perform the holiday concert with red marks all over her face, that and it itched like crazy. The office intro was very quick and professional, Dr Weintraub was patient and kind explaining all the possibilities and asking a ton of questions. He prescribed a cream which immediately stopped the itching and within a couple days the red spots were gone, we didn't even apply the cream for the full week before we saw him again. Very pleasant experience and would highly recommend his office and services. read more

I took my 12 year old daughter in to have what we thought was a mole checked. It turns out it was a hemangioma. My daughter was very insecure about it but Dr. Weintraub removed it quickly with no issues, making her very happy to be rid of it. We were in and out of there in 15 minutes, nearly no waiting at all. His staff is very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend their office for any skin concerns. read more

Dr. Weintraub and his entire staff are just amazing. Everyone is so friendly and helpful when you call or visit the office. Dr. Weintraub is very knowledgeable and caring as well. He listens to your concerns and is very patient and gentle with his numbing shots, thank goodness! I even had to miss an appt last minute due to a flat tire and they waved the cancellation fee. I highly recommend this office. read more

Saw me the very next day when I called for a first time appointment. I had a horrible sudden eczema flare up on my eye and he prescribed me a cream that I used twice a day. It cleared up in a few days. Thank you for your help! read more

Dr. Weintraub is an excellent dermatologist. I discovered a rash last week and suspected it was shingles. I had a hard time getting an appointment in a timely fashion with my core group of doctors. I randomly called Dr. Weintraub The day after I discovered my rash. He answer the telephone and suggested I come in right away within the hour. One hour later I was in his office where I had a confirmed diagnosis of shingles. He prescribed the appropriate medication and one week later it is almost healed. He treated me with such kindness, and I wasn't even his patient.I recommend this doctor highly To anyone with a skin problem. read more

Dr Weintraub saw my 4-year old daughter for a widespread hives rash on her midsection, arms, and thighs. After failing to improve with a round of steroids that our pediatrician prescribed, we saw Dr Weintraub. He suggested taking her off of her probiotic and multivitamin gummies -- we tried that for a week, and her rash was effectively gone by the next week we went to see him. He didn't recommend any expensive solutions, or drugs, and I was grateful for that. Problem solved after one quick appointment. Thanks Dr Weintraub! read more

Dr. Weintraub was fantastic! Extremely thorough! Took the time to explain everything to me, was not rushing me out the door like some doctors do. He took his time and ensured I was taken care of. Amazing doctor and will 100000% be going back to him! If you're reading this message its because you're doing your research, well take it from this patient, stop reading this and book your appointment. Thank you Dr. Weintraub! read more

Dr weintraub and his staff are wonderful. I had a horrible reaction to some essential oils and my face was extremely infected. I walked in without an appt and they saw me within 15 minutes. Dr weintraub was so comforting and helpful. He calmed me down and had my face almost completely healed in a week. His office is the only dermatologist I want to see any more. Thank you so much. Their office staff is caring and kind Sincerely Rachael read more

Went and saw Dr. Weintraub today about a suspicious mole! There was no wait and the front office was very nice. Quick in and out and got the all clear. Very satisfied. read more

What a great visit! Had a mole I was concerned about and went in nervous. I waited ZERO minutes! The receptionist was super sweet. Dr. Weintraub was so nice! Did a easy exam and calmed my fears! Asked to take a quick look at my back (so smart) and if I had any additional concerns. Didn't try to upsell me, cut me or prescribe me anything! Just left me with well wishes and an invitation to return in a year or if I have any other concerns. What a relief! Will definitely be going back and recommending this office! read more

My son has been seeing Dr. Weintraub for over a year now for severe acne, and he's done an amazing job of helping my son clear up his skin. Today, it was mom's turn. I had a growth on my lower leg that had changed suddenly - doubled in size, gotten darker, etc. Today I had that growth removed for a biopsy, and it was a painless procedure. Dr. W doesn't think it's cancer but better to be safe than sorry. The staff is always very professional and there's never a wait for appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Weintraub for your dermatology needs! read more

Great experience with Dr.Weintraub, staff is friendly and always helpful. Went in for some brown stops on my hands and gave me a few option and I decided to go with bleach cream. Two weeks later brown spots gone. read more

He's a very nice person who didnt try to sell me anything I didnt need. I got lots of free samples too. He seems to care about actually helping me instead of just making money at all costs. Thank you! Youre a valuable doctor. read more

Oh and the waiting area is really seedy. No thanks. Negative stars.

I'm really not sure why he has bad reviews online because he's a really knowledgeable and nice doctor. His front desk is friendly, he explains things very thoroughly, and makes sure you understand everything before you leave his office. I waited maybe 2 minutes before he saw me which was a HUGE plus because I dislike when doctors make you wait. He makes his own vitamin C serum, which I think is pretty cool; I will update my review on that once I try it out! read more

I'm confused by all the great reviews on here but to each their own I guess. I came here for a particularly painful sore on my thigh. I got completely undressed and in that paper gown to have a full body check since it was offered, might as well. The whole "appointment" was less than 5 mins. He looked at it and had no interest in my previous history sore. Stuck a swab to culture it (I'd had this done previously and it was negative). He then went to prescribe me some antibiotics which I said I didn't want because I wanted to see if the culture would be negative again. I don't believe in taking antibiotics just for the hell of it. He seemed annoyed by this and gave me a cream instead. Needless to say, definitely didn't get a full body check. Upon "checking out" I found I have to take the swab to Quest myself. I asked if I keep it in the fridge or how long it was viable for because I wouldn't be able to drop it off before work the next day. I couldn't get a straight answer, very reassuring. I ended up throwing it out because I wasn't going to pay for a test for a sample that was potentially no good since I wasn't told I'd have to take it to the lab myself. When I was leaving he asked how I heard of them, I said Yelp and his reply was "Was I straight forward with you or hurt you?" Uhhh, weird questions and I guess. Anyways, they bill $175 for an appointment. I will not be going back. I will say the front staff is amazing, wish they were doctors. read more

Not happy with this guy. He's incredibly rude and dismissive. My primary care physician sent me to him. While waiting approval from the insurance he tells me three times, "If I don't get authorization, I don't get paid.". The two ladies that work there were great. I'm not sure why they would want to work for him!! read more

James Weintraub led me to believe I had a cancerous growth on my face that he could biopsy it on the spot, but it would, "...require costly plastic surgery to correct the look of your face". His suggestion I had cancer and that a large chunk of my nose needed to be removed and nonchalant attitude about it all caused a great deal of undue stress and worry. Sensing something was off, I utilized Kaiser's second opinion service was was told it was a common facial wart and had it frozen off on the spot by a friendly, professional dermatologist. Because it is difficult to get a dermatology appointment, I was forced to see him again for a follow-up (my other option was to wait another month for the other derm). This time around, he entered the exam room with his mouth full of food, got up close to my face, and continued to chew in a disgusting fashion just mere inches from my face. He then use cryo on an area where there was no growth, and I had to stop him and tell him where to actually treat me. He used the cryo for far longer than his colleague did, which caused massive blisters on my face that did not disappear for over a month. He was also curt and dismissive and acted like I was somehow an inconvenience. Get another job if you feel that way about your patients. James Weintraub is a rude, unprofessional, and inept dermatologist with formal complaints against him easily available online. I suggest you Google his name and see for yourself. Stay very, very far away from this man. I will not give him the dignity of calling him a doctor. He's a piece of garbage. read more
