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.

Dr Wein is professional and friendly. He explains everything in terms patients can understand. He listens to questions and takes the time to answer them. He seems to be very busy, and moves fast through the hall, but we have never felt rushed during our appointment. Dr Wein operated on my husband for perotid gland cancer. We have 100% confidence in Dr. Wein.

I went there to be treated for sleep apnea. Dr. Wein took a throat culture and two days later I was in the emergency room due to a double infection of my throat. The attending doctor was amazed that the throat culture showed two infections, both rare. Can I prove it was from my visit with Dr. Wein? No, but it sure makes for an incredible coincidence, one that I am not willing to believe was an isolated case.

I was treated by Dr. Wein after I was the victim of an assault resulting in a large mandible fracture. The maxillofacial departments in the area were all booked for a few weeks. I mistakenly listened to Dr. Wein's advice that he could successfully perform the surgery rather than waiting for another specialist. The plates he used weren't large enough to hold the fracture & a second surgery was required elsewhere. Awful experience at Tufts & more scars resulted from requiring another surgery.
