I was a patient of Dr. Weintraub for quite a few years and found him to be one of the best doctors I've seen in my (rather long) life. He always explained everything he was doing during the exam, had a gentle touch, answered any questions I had and encouraged me to call if I had any concerns between appointments. I wish him happiness in his well-deserved retirement, though I will certainly miss him!

I found this guy through my network. He was awful. The staff was rude and unprofessional. What was really weird was the nurse had to be in during the examination. I found out later that he requires a nurse to be in with him because of a malpractice suit. Avoid this guy like the plague.

This guys was 90 years old. 90! He was senile and incompetent. All his equipment was from the 70's tooo. Honestly, after seeing him, I felt like I needed a hot shower, and a tetnis shot.

This man was awful at his job. He prescribed me medication without proper instructions. The result of his treatment made the problem 10 times worse. Also, he ignored my pain levels, which increased as I continued to see him. This guy was the worse, by far.

I saw him this Am for a small Hemorrhoid. He was on time, prepared, explained everything, conducted a thotough history and examination, treted the condition, wrote a prescription left graciously. I felt no pain, was in and out of the office in > 40 minutes. I have had this done before with other physicians, but none better. I am a health care profesional, and I highly recommedn him for office care.

Was not patient, did not answer questions, seemed like he was in a rush to finish procedure, felt everything though out the entire surgery. AVOID
