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.

Excellent surgeon! Thank you Dr. Wiesner!
I had heard from my doctor friends that Dr. Wiesner was a ‘rock star’. He did a hip replacement on me in 2021 that gave me back my life. Since then I’ve been whitewater rafting, mountain biking and hiking up a storm. I’m super grateful for the excellent surgery I received.

Knee replacement
Dr. Weisner replaced both my knees 90 days apart back in 2010. He was fantastic and came highly recommended and was everything they said he was. I currently live near Rochester and plan on see him about a right hip replacement. I have complete confidence in him.

Does Not spend enough time with you, needs to make you feel like your not another number. His side kicks are no help what so ever when you have knee problems and you come to the office .

I had my first knee replacement when Dr. Wiesner first began practicing in Binghamton. I learned he did MINIMALLY INVASIVE total knee replacement -- which means your recovery is weeks long, NOT months long (the other doctors in town told me I'd need 3 months to recover!). After my first knee replacement, I returned to work in 2 weeks! Several years later, I returned to work 3 weeks following my 2nd knee replacement. I've been living PAIN FREE ever since he did my knees. I've referred literally dozens of people to him, and they've all had excellent results. He is TRULY THE BEST. We are so lucky to have him practicing in our small town!

I had a knee replaced 1-1/2 years ago and couldn’t have been more pleased. Dr. Wiener was fantastic and very professional. His staff are equally excellent. They are currently beginning to care for my other knee. I didn’t think twice about returning to them.

Exceptional Surgeon. Dr. Wiener was totally focused and concerned with my questions and what I was hoping to achieve with replacing my right knee. He thoroughly explained the procedure, making me feeling at ease. It will be 3 weeks ago that I had the surgery...with the help of his staff and Physical Therapy, I'm walking on average 3k steps a day with the aid of a cane and am looking forward to getting up to over 15k.

As an addition to my prior rating, I must say... Dr. Wiesner is very professional, great bedside manners, cares about his patients' thoughts and concerns, and gave me back my life of being able to enjoy walking again. He is truly to me a highly rated doctor when it comes to knees. I would recommend him to family, friends or anyone wanting a doctor to do the job right. I couldn't be more elated with the outcome of my surgery. He is a phenomenal doctor. I would have my other knee done by only him.

Dr. Wiesner is a true blessing to me and my family. I have had two prior knee surgeries on the same knee within a year and suffered with pain, isssues and finally needing a full knee replacement at 41 years old after 3 years of suffering. After my second surgery which was botched, no other doctor wanted to correct or touch my knee after it had been surgically damaged by a prior doctor. I was recommended to Dr. Lawrence Wiesner and he confidently gave me no doubts that he could correct the damage

Totally professional, manners, listened to my thoughts, actually thanked me (first time a doctor ever said this to me!) for coming to his office for my care / surgery. He did a total hip replacement for me three years ago and I am now embarking on two total knee replacements. I note, no turnover in his staff which tells me they are comfortable working with Dr. Wiesner and coworkers. I feel totally confident in all employees and Dr. Wiesner's capabilities.
