Not impressed with office staff, both in practice and demeanor.
Took me 2 months to get an appointment as a new patient. By the time I got there I couldn't even remember what caused me to schedule the appointment in the first place, but new ins company had assigned him as pcp.
No prior notice he intended to perform blood tests, as such I didn't fast, and test results were complete outliers when compared to prior 15 yrs of test results. Obviously worthless.
Still waiting for the visit summary staff promised to mail me, all my specialists produce these same day or next day, it's been weeks.
And, he's a pediatrician so I got to share a waiting room with a bunch of sick kids.
The Doc himself is thorough and decent manner, my poor experience is more due to scheduling, staff, no advance notice of test (to fast), and setting.
UPDATE:
I called the docs office to resolve the issues with them. He staff member I reached out to for assistance was kind and apologetic, and promised to resolve my issues.
So I said to myself, omg, maybe I rushed to judgment on the staff. Maybe they're not all rude and lazy. Maybe I should edit the review and raise the rating.
Then, later on, I called that staff member back to follow up, to find out if things had been taken care of.
After an interminably long time on hold Dr Weinstein Himself came on the line. I was really surprised, as so few docs these days seem willing to speak to patients on the phone. I appreciated the doc taking the time to resolve my issues, I thanked him and was very polite, as I had certainly been getting agitated.
BUT Dr Weinstein immediately began speaking to me in a snarky and sarcastically manner. He started BLAMING ME for an obvious oversight by his staff.
THEN, rather than working things out with me as if he had any concern for my health, he adopted that know it all attitude that so frequently frustrates ppl who have to deal with drs.
While this was happening, I couldn't help thinking "people actually take their children to this guy" unbelievable.
Patients are sick, it makes them cranky. Patients are allowed to be irritable, especially when medical staff makes mistakes. Dr weinstein did eventually admit his staff had made a mistake.
Doctors, on the other hand, are not allowed to be verbally abusive toward patients NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
SO I've changed my review to 1 star, but I wish I could give negative stars. Unlike my initial impression, the problem with this practice is not the staff, it's the dr. read more
