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. Weinschenk did my surgery in 2015 and all went very well! He is kind & compassionate, listened to everything I said to him. Took the time to go over my tests. Would like to have a visit with him to go over other issues I'm experiencing now. Anyone have any idea as to where Dr. Weinschenk is practicing now? Phone the office on Newton Sparta Rd and was told He is no longer there. When asked if He retired or went elsewhere, staff personnel would not give me any concrete information.

I saw Dr. Weinschenk for a broken humerus and partially dislocated shoulder. Rather than get me into surgery right away (as 3 Drs. since have advised), he said, "Let's take a conservative approach - it's not like you're a pitcher for the NY Yankees." Seriously? It has since healed improperly and I now need shoulder replacement surgery to correct. He failed me.

Dr. Weinschenck has seen me through multiple issues. He is an excellent doctor, including surgery. He explains things and is an excellent communicator. He is a perfect combination of neither too aggressive, nor too dismissive of a condition or situation. Dr. Weinschenk evaluates issues thoughtfully, skillfully, and provides meaningful feedback for the patient to make a well-informed decision regarding treatment.

The first time I saw Dr. Weinschenck he charged me for a surgical procedure when he never he pulled my shorts down to examine me. The second time (NEVER AGAIN!!), he referred me to specialist that he admitted had multiple complaints against him, BUT WAS IN HIS PRACTICE!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! I then went to a REAL specialist who properly diagnosed me. When I informed him of Weinschenk's diagnosis, he actually laughed!! If you want real healthcare GET OUT OF SUSSEX COUNTY AND DON'T GO HERE!

I have 2 buldging discs in my neck. Dr. Weinshenk is the only Dr. to figure this out AND offer non surgical treatment options so I can continue my day to day activities without pain! Love this Dr. He's very patient and kind. Takes the time to talk to you and discuss options. Never rushes you.
