Office is dirty, walls haven't been painted or cleaned in years. First medical office I have been to where it felt unsanitary and third worldish. Appointment was rushed and no real treatment therapy suggestions by doctor. read more

Weingarten Foot and Ankle Center - Podiatrists Near Me - Long Beach, California

Dr Weingarten is a true professional. He has a great attitude and his staff is friendly, he understands the latest treatment and is humble enough to refer you to the right person to make the best outcome, even though he is fully capable of treating any issue. I wish all doctors took as much time and care with their patience as he does. He has treated my son for a rare fracture from football and myself. I fully recommend him and his team. Thank you! read more

Very professional and friendly. Fixed my son's ingrown toenail with ease. I would definitely recommend.

I was terrified to get an ingrown toenail removed. literally shaking before going in! (i've had a bad experience with the procedure before at urgent care) but Dr W really did it so fast and painless. Shots are uncomfortable at first but once they're done you don't feel a thing :) i'm very happy with the treatment and of course, the staff was really nice and patient with me! thank you for helping, i was in pain for months!!! now time for the healing process. i wish i could rate this place a 10/10! read more

I went in today in the morning due to an ingrown, from customer service to the end was wonderful they really take care of you, dr w I can say through the history I have with drs he is an excellent dr I was literally out fast I honestly had to relax n take a breather because my anxiety with shots but the technique he uses didn't hurt extremely but knowing me I did scream n pinch assistance arm, yes I probably over exaggerated cause I had worse injections but it honestly felt like quick pinch n little burn after it was removal time n it went by quickly dr distracted me by talking n it helped a lot but I honestly would recommend this office!!!! If I could I would give Dr w 100 out of 10 Office assistant 100 out of 10 read more

Weingarten Foot and Ankle Center - Time for healing process!!!! - Podiatrists Near Me - Long Beach, California

Literally one of the best doctors I've ever been to. So thrilled to have found him!! Great facility, very short wait time, wonderful advice.

This experience was one of the few times yelp failed me...somewhat. I only say somewhat because I never got to see the doctor. I'll try and be brief. I've been experiencing pain in my foot for some time now but had never been bad enough that I felt I should see a professional. Onto today. My day started in Sacramento where I was attending a business meeting. Today of all days, my foot was killin' me. I was scheduled to fly back late this afternoon. I found them on yelp and seeing Al the positive reviews, I made an appt online for tomorrow (3/27). Well my meeting ended ON TIME and I decided to get on standby for an earlier flight and high tailed it to the airport in the hopes I could make the earlier flight and be seen today (3/26). Everything worked out perfectly and I got to the airport quickly and made it in time to get on the earlier flight. Once I confirmed my place at the gate, I contacted them, informed them of the situation and asked if I could move my appointment to this afternoon. They were able to accommodate my request. I made it back in town, dropped off my travel items, and headed to their office. When I arrived, there were two women at the front desk. I don't exactly remember how the initial interaction went as I was a bit distracted by the pain I was in, but eventually I was told I'd need to fill out some paperwork. No problem. Typical for an initial visit. One of the women then tells me they'll need to make copies of my insurance card. I informed her I'd already provided that when I made my initial appointment online. The woman appeared to check something on her computer than informed me she didn't see that it had been submitted. FIRST RED FLAG! I then asked her for an email address so I could email the info. The other woman wrote it on the first page of the paperwork and handed it to me. I had a seat and began to fill out the paperwork. It was quite a bit to fill out, however I got through it and when I got to the final page, it was a document stating they wanted my credit card information to keep on file in case I had any co-pays. I approached the front desk and informed the women that I was not comfortable with my credit card information being kept on file and asked if I had to complete that form to be seen. She replied that it was and gave some explanation about it only being used if payment hadn't been rendered for services after two months had elapsed. I reiterated my discomfort with my credit card information being kept on file. I was told they'd check but that was typical policy. Not long after that the woman returned and explained that they'd verified my coverage and I still had an outstanding deductible with my insurer and incorrectly explained that because I would still be responsible for 10% of the cost of the service(s), I'd have to leave my credit card information on file to be seen. RED FLAG #2 for not understanding that because I had not yet met my annual deductible, I would actually be responsible for 100% of the cost. At this point I was already irritated, in serious pain, and not feeling great at the customer service I was experiencing. Before I blew my top, I chose to ask for my paperwork back and informed them I would just go elsewhere. There was no attempt to accommodate me. The receptionist actually seemed annoyed at my response. I was then handed back my paperwork and allowed to walk out the door. By the way, most medical providers SALIVATE when they see what great insurance I have. They let a potential new customer walk out the door with no attempt to accommodate an issue that could have easily been resolved. HERE'S A NOVEL CONCEPT. How about requiring me to render payment up front before being seen??? Maybe they assumed from my appearance I couldn't pay the bill. Anyway, found another doctor about an hour later who TOOK MY PAYMENT UP FRONT!!! Imagine that! I got to see a doctor, get my foot x-rayed and at least confirm my foot wasn't broken. Check my profile. I rarely leave reviews on yelp. But given the lengths I went through to get there and being treated less than while in significant pain, I had to leave this review really just to get this off my chest so I wouldn't be up all night. I'm sure they are great doctors and have helped many people in the community, but not likely I'll return. read more

Dr. Weingarten and his staff were prompt, professional and knowledgeable. First visit for foot and ankle injury following e-bike accident. X-rays taken in office with no delay. Very satisfied with experience read more

My sister received amazing care! Dr is very knowledgeable and cares for his patients. I'm glad I found him here on Yelp! She will definitely go back to him for her next appointment; her foot has never been better! His office staff is friendly & knowledgeable. read more

I had a painful (infected) ingrown toenail and was very nervous to be seen, for obvious reasons. Dr. Weingarten made this the easiest process ever. He was super friendly talked me through the entire process. He was amazing. I definitely see why he has 5 stars now, 10/10 recommend! read more

Highly Recommend Review not for the squirmish. Painful steps convinced bf that his toe problem was only getting worse. Friends advised getting a pedicure. No manicurist will do such work, thank goodness. One place acted as though he should have been wearing a bell and shooed him out unceremoniously. "GO TO A PODIATRIST!" I said quietly, again, and did a Yelp search. Yelp reviews were very encouraging and Dr. Weingarten deserves all their five stars. While his bandaged big toe resembled a snow ball, Bf did have to curtail normal walking. Today, his toes is doing just fine as Dr. Weingarten correctly predicted. I will not deduct any stars for not giving out a lollipop. read more

I was in so much pain from my pinky toe I couldn't wear certain shoes and would feel sharper pain if I were to stand in one place for too long, which doesn't work for me because I do hair and I'm a always standing for long periods of time. When I saw Dr. Weingarten I explained my pain and he quickly knew what the problem was and how to treat it without causing me further pain. Not only did he solve my toe pain he also corrected my back pain. Because of all the pain my toe was feeling it caused me to walk crooked, so not only did I have pain on my toe I had it all over my lower back, for years. When I left Dr. Weingartens office I went on a 3 mile walk and IMMEDIATELY the pain and pressure evaporated, not just my toe but my back as well. I feel so much stronger and it's all thanks to Dr. Weingarten! read more

Awesome, he knows about feet. I got immediate help right away definitely sharing my information and they are local they're not too far away.. read more

I have been seeing Doctor Weingarten for about three years now. He is friendly, kind, and knowledgeable about his field. In my life experiences it is sadly not common to have a great doctor and a great staff, but in this case, his office staff are wonderful. Super friendly and accommodating. He is fantastic about pain management and uses nifty tools to make steroid shots to the foot much less painful that it normally is. It's worth the drive for me to trek out to Long Beach to see him. I highly recommend him. read more

Of course I was a nervous wreck going in being that I never had an ingrown toenail and I'm terrified of needles. Yes there's a slight discomfort from the numbing shots but he was very kind abs patient with me. He was quick and I didn't even notice he was done once the numbing kicked in. I was in and out within 15 minutes. He talked to me the whole time and made me feel more at ease. Thank you for taking care of me! read more

I went in for an in grown toenail. I don't get them often, usually take care of it myself, but I needed help removing it this time around. The Dr. was so gentle and careful, making sure I was comfortable and didn't feel pain. I appreciate that, since In-growns can be so painful. Quick process. A few pinches from the needle, nothing horrible. I'm glad I went. I was in and out in less than 20 min. read more

Very uncaring podiatrist I was i geat pain for a long time and unable to walk.he took x-ray and said there is nothing wrong and I should take pain killers for my pain.a month later I decided to see another podiatrist.he also took x-ray and showed them to me.my toe was bent so bad to the right that he wondered how i was able to walk.he suggested that i need immediate attention not pain killers.for this reason i question legitimacy of all these 5 star ratings.are they real? read more

Very clean as well. They scheduled me for a follow up as well. Would come back for more visits if needed. 10/10 read more

Dr. Weingarten wastes NO TIME with getting you checked out. I have had chronic plantar fasciitis for about 5 years from track and field. I never really recovered even with physical therapy. My life has completely stopped, I couldn't even handle walking at the grocery store for more than 15 minutes, and I'm only 24. Dr. Weingarten is a serious and reserved man, but had no problem answering my questions as well as getting me corticosteroid shots in my foot (they hurt very much) and X-rays. He recommended me stretches as well as gave me ibuprofen for the pain. He already said he will push through to my insurance to get me arch supports that are made specifically for me. This man is FAST in his appointments and will get you in and out in about 15-20 minutes. Great doctor, straight and to the point. Wastes no time when it comes to fixing your life. He told me the goal is for me to have a normal life again. Do what he says and I'm sure he will find a way to make sure you get your life back! His office is clean and his receptionists are nice! I have no complaints about Dr. Weingarten and recommend EVERYONE to go to him for your podiatric needs! read more

Choosing Dr. Weingarten wasn't too difficult. He's professional, easy to relate to, warm, funny, and took the time to actually listen to my concerns, and then educated me about the different treatment options. He has this cheerful and uplifting way about him that quickly put me me at ease. he treated more as a friend than as a patient, and what a difference it make. His office has become some sort of a break from my hectic life. His secretaries don't spend their time fending off all human contact like it s a contagious disease. They are just as personable and enjoyable to speak with as the doctor is. What really cemented how I felt about Dr. Weingarten was how he took time out of his personal life to check up on how I was doing in the days following my surgery. Having a doctor do so blew me away. I wasn't just some patient, i wasn't just a number. It made the emotional toll that a recovery from surgery took me on that much more bearable. I would gladly refer him to anyone of my friends and family read more

Best service I had for foot problems. The staff are respectful and attentive. I highly recommend it.

I had the best experience with Dr. Weingarten and his staff. The women in the front office are extremely kind and patient. They listened to my needs and made sure to get me in very quickly. Dr. Weingarten was attentive and VERY smart. He was able to explain my situation in a way that I could understand. I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this office and EVERYONE that works there. read more

I had a pressing podiatric issue, called, and was scheduled for a same day appointment. The receptionist was very kind, courteous, and accommodating when I called. It is always nice to be greeted warmly when making a medical appointment (particularly when you are in pain) and my experience was equally positive when I visited the office. The podiatrist was not only knowledgeable but efficient, highly focused, and reassuring. I was so relieved and felt so much better when I left the office. I am very grateful to Dr. Weingarten and his staff. read more

Great great experience! Small office and very personable doctor. Made my experience pain free :) Highly recommend office. I will be returning for future treatment. read more

I have been suffering with foot issues for quite sometime, and decided to finally seek medical advice. I found Dr. Weingarten through all the 5 star Yelp reviews, and so far I can see the reason behind the 5 stars. Since I have been his patient, I have experienced nothing but professionalism, efficiency, kindness and compassionate care from Dr. Weingarten and his staff. Dr. Weingarten is excellent in his specialty and really takes his time with assessing and explaining things. I'm very thankful that he is my Podiatrist. I also have to mention that his Administrative Assistant, Arian, is wonderful! She made it possible for me to see Dr. Weingarten on the same day I was having excruciating foot pain. Her communication skills between patient and doctor, is above and beyond. Thank you Arian! I would recommend Dr. Weingarten to my friends and family with no hesitation. 100%, top notch, patient care!!! read more

If you're looking for a podiatrist honestly look no further. Dr. Weingarten is hands down the best. It took me 3 doctors till I finally was happy. Who thought a wart removal would be so difficult? He is so knowledgable, sincere, honest and most of all has the biggest heart. He will go above and out of his way to make sure the job is done right. The other doctors I went to were trying to sell me. Not Dr. Weingarten. Thank you doc. You're the best. read more

Let me first say... I was as nervous as you right now reading this and wanting to get your feet checked out. I was extremely nervous for anyone to touch my feet. My appointment was at 12. I got there at 11:40am because I was a new Patient and knew I had to fill out a few forms. The receptionist was so sweet and amazing. She really made me feel welcome. And they honor your appointment time. After filling out paper work, she called me into the room to take my bp and to ease my anxiety. She really helped! Thank you so much The doctor was so smart and kind and gentle. He was amazing. Beyond my expectations. I have some corn/callus on the side of my toes. He took the time to explained it and then went right to scraping it off. During the whole time he kept me entertained and really relaxed and comfortable. He told me things to d after and take home advice This place was amazing!!! I am beyond happy. Being a health care professional myself, I am truly proud of their office! Please visit them! read more

Dr. Weingarten was recommended to me by a friend who said if you're looking to get rid my your ingrown nails, he's the one. Needless to say i visited the doctors office and was truly impressed by the work done. In not time i was good as new, not sure why i waited so long to have my nails fixed. glad i found Dr. Weingarten. read more

I saw Dr. Weingarten after having nagging pain in my big toe for months. Nobody else was able to figure out the problem Dr. Weingarten diagnosed the issue, prescribed a treatment plan catered to my specific needs, and followed up with me despite his very busy schedule. When my wife injured her foot- he called to explain the MRI results and provide a detailed plan for her too. Dr. Weingarten has the care, sensitivity, and knowledge a patient expects when seeing a podiatrist. I strongly recommend Dr. Weingarten for your Long Beach area foot treatment needs! read more

Is easy to understand is straight-forward, professional and knowledgeable about modern treatment trends and best practices. Highly recommend him and his staff. read more
