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.

Assumes he knows everything after 10 minutes
I was diagnosed with ADHD after several months of appointments, over 8 hour tests, and speaking with 3 different psychologists who agreed together I had it. After 24 years, I cried tears of happiness for finally being validated in the struggles I faced. After speaking with Dr. Weinstein for less than 10 minutes, he told me I didn't have ADHD. Now, I don't claim to know more than someone with a medical degree, but even the most basic medical professional knows that ADHD is more than just inattention and bad grades, especially in women. Apparently he does not know this, and belittled me by claiming nothing was wrong. My diagnosis was done by medical professionals at a renowned clinic in the midwest, and I went through several trials of different medications before they agreed on a stimulant, which I quite literally cannot function a normal day without. If you need to see a doctor every month for a refill, do NOT choose this man.

A Very Good Choice All Around
Dr. Weinstein is an empathetic, responsive, professional and genuinely caring psychiatrist . His office is well run, the wait time is almost nonexistent and I find parking surprisingly easily. All in all Dr. W is a wonderful practitioner.

This office is totally mismanaged and chaotic. I scheduled an appointment 6 weeks out only to be informed ON THE MORNING OF - that the Dr. couldn't see me.

I have read some of the reviews and you can’t please everyone nor adhere to their standards. Dr Weinstein was thorough with me so the patient after me most likely waited a while. He ask many questions and listen. Also suggested a psychologist as he is a psychiatrist. I see him regularley so I have heard him on the phone- as a Psychiatrist, wouldn’t you want your Dr to answer the phone when you are having an emergency and really need to speak to him? I would. Overrall,hes pretty knowledgeable.

This guy is very rude and cold and has no bedside manner. I went to two appointments with him and will be finding another doctor. The last appointment, he spent three minutes with me and then had an argument with someone else over the phone. Then his assistant sent my medicine to the wrong pharmacy.

THE WORST! He spends no time with you, and has been on the phone during my session! And I am not welcome since the stupid girls in the front don't know what they're doing. I got a bill which I did not have to pay. And they told my insurance they'll send me a bill if I keep going, and they told me to go somewhere else. Not sure if that was him or the girls! You can't dismiss someone because you're stupid! I had to file a grievance, in which they still got paid for their idiocy.

had over booked patients and WAS THE RUDEST PERSON I'VE EVER MET IN THE MEDICAL FIELD OR POSSIBLY HUMANITY. My car was right outside and I went to ask if I could put a quarter in the meter he walked away and called the next patient, I ran after him and took the chance of getting a ticket. He told me to sit down. never asked my name or how I was doing. Just stared at the computer not once making eye contact. I was in his office for at most 5 minutes before he basically pushed me out. Left crying
