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.

SHE DOES NOT CARE
I saw this doctor several years ago. She was condescending and rude. I would never go back to her. No one from her office contacted me with test results, she never returned my call. After talking to a relative that also was briefly a patient of hers, we agreed that she was probably theworst doctor we had ever been to.

Missed Medical School 101 diagnosis
My dad was on blood thinners prescribed by her. My dad fell on his face, became fully bruised. The next day mom took him in to see her for an exam, due to the bruising. She saw his fully bruised face, and sent them home, with no further instruction or follow up. She never recommended he have a CT scan (that's med school 101, blood thinners, fall=CT scan). 3 months later dad is rushed to hospital ER with a resulting brain bleed. Had brain surgery to releave the bleed, 6 months rehab, my dad's and our family life changed forever, because she didn't send him for an obvious CT scan... even the ER questioned why he did not receive a CT scan.

I had a poor experience with this doctor. Although she seemed very nice and attentive in the moment, she ordered tests that she did not complete. I never received results. I withheld my payment and requested results. She responded by aggressively billing me and then sent me to a collection agency.

Dr. Wiener takes the time to explain options to me. If I would like to try a "natural" remedy that involves changing diet and lifestyle, she reviews the research I bring to her about it and is supportive about my using those solutions first before a prescription. She and I disagree about whether/how to warn patients regarding: "Drinking even 1 glass of an alcoholic beverage can negate the effects of antidepressants for up to a week." I respect that reasonable minds may differ.

This doctor was very rude, short (literally and figuratively), and uncaring. She even oddly glared at me a few times when I was describing my experience at trying to solve my health issues in the past and hoped she could help. Which I thought was weird since it was our first visit. Overall, she acted like she didn't want to be bothered with a rather dry attitude and bad bedside manner towards me. I immediately felt uncomfortable and It was unfortunate because my other doctors were at the same office and it made it convenient for my care. However, though they are very good and professional, she was not so after one visit, I didn't want to be bothered with her, either. By the way, she is only 3'7' in height which I only mention because it took me totally off guard at first. Not that I'm that tall myself, but one may want to be aware that she is also really, really, short in person (and mean)! The five star reviews must be fake is all I can say.
