Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Surgery lumpectomy of my left breast
Dr. Weinstein performed on me the left breast lumpectomy in HCA Westside hospital. I was well explained the process and the procedure. He patiently answered all my questions and I never felt rushed. The day of the surgery Dr. Weinstein met me at the bedside and he reassured me that I’m in good hands. Surgery went very well! I would definitely recommend Dr. Weinstein to anybody as he is very knowledgeable surgeon. He is taking very good care of his patients.

Great Doctor and Great Surgeon!
Dr. Weinstein repaired my two hernias. 30 seconds after meeting him I was completely confident and at ease with him. He explained everything in detail, yet in terms I could easily understand. The surgery went perfectly and I was back on my feet the following day with very little discomfort. I took over-the-counter Acetaminophen twice the day after the surgery and that was all I needed. The staff at West Side Regional were the best. I knew I was in good hands the entire time.

Great Doctor. Excellent person!
This was my second visit to Dr. Weinstein. In both occasions I had a surgery. Last year a Lipoma in my back and this year an umbilical hernia. I can tell Dr Weinstein is a respectful professional, very human, polite and friendly. And best of all a very competent surgeon. Don't doubt it ! He is one of the Best !

Worse doctor ever. Waited in exam room over an hour. Waiting room another 45 minutes for 3 minutes of his precious time in which he did nothing but talk and then overcharged. Rather meet my maker than go see this dr. Again. All he cares about is money. The difference between weinstein and god is god doesn't think he is weinstein.

I was treated very well by Dr. Weinstein and his staff. I had a presurgical consult, biopsy and results appointment with Dr. Weinstein and he was gentle, kind and informative throughout. He explained every step to me very clearly which I truly appreciated. His staff at the Surgery Center and in his office are wonderful.

From the walking into the office till you check out, everyone is very professional. Dr. Weinstein is not only very knowledgeable but his people/ bedside manners are superb. Dr. Weinstein listens and explains all that he is doing very detailed. If you need any type of minor surgery, look no further. This should be everyone’s first choice.

I have been to Dr. Weinstein three times for an in-office procedure and now, most recently, to schedule a surgery I never dreamed I would need. Aside from his exceptional medical and surgical skills, Dr. Weinstein is a doctor/surgeon who has put the “H” (Human) element back into medicine. He listens and hears your questions and concerns and responds in a caring manner while explaining what is needed and why, without confusing medical jargon. I know I am in the most capable surgical hands. Appreciation to Giselle, his Medical Assistant, for her calm, reassuring manner and to Sheila at the front desk for her willingness to get me in right away and for her pleasantness on the phone. This teacher gives this office an A+ with much appreciation!

Dr Weinstein is very nice but his office staff is rude and condescending. Wait times over an hour. NO way to speak with the Dr outside the office. not even by email. They don't "do things that way". No email?? I don't want to invade his busy schedule but no email?? Really frustrating because he IS a good surgeon but patients deserve better treatment and communication

This office is run like a dog and pony show by incompetent front office staff. I was scheduled for two appointments. Upon arriving for the first appointment I was told it was a different day so I rescheduled with Giselle for 5/21/2019 at 9:15 a.m.. Upon arriving for the second scheduled appointment, I was told the appointment was 11:45 a.m. However, the appointment card given to me by Giselle clearly said 9:15 a.m. As a working person who's time is equally valuable, suggest going elsewhere unless you have endless amounts of time for this nonsense.
