Dr. Lon Steven Weiner, MD

I was not a patient until I broke my shoulder (many years ago). After the surgery, I took P.T. and many years later, I still have near total movement in the shoulder. Very pleasant and comfortable manner.

Super doctor , love him and I am very grateful for his skills and compassion.  He took care of my son ans saved his life and leg.   We all have only best things to say about doctor.   If all doctors were as him life would be much easier and better. He has my highest recommendations.

Best Doctor! I had a broken ankle and very complicated case...Dr. Weiner performed surgery and he and his stuff were very supportive through the whole process. Very Professional !

When I fractured my talus bone, all the staff at the hospital I was at (Lenox Hill Hospital) revered how competent Dr. Weiner is as a trauma surgeon. I could see why: he’s thorough, conscientious, and doesn’t do things by the book. Though the normal recovery of a talus bone takes 8-12 weeks and he said “we’ll do it in six.” Even though we’re now anticipating nine weeks, I liked the fact that he pushed for a quicker-than-usual recovery. And he always makes the time for my questions during my check ups. His staff, Krystal, Martha, and Mike, are all great to work with. Mike, the PA, is very knowledgeable and gives sound advice, and Martha and Krystal are very responsive.

I was brought to Dr. Weiner having sustained a severe breakage in my leg. I did not meet him until the day of my surgery. In advance of the operation, I read a review of his work in which a very rational patient of Dr. Weiner warned against his very poor outcome under the Dr.'s care, as well as the shady financial practices of his office, saying he'd had to go elsewhere to have the mess Dr. Weiner had created corrected. The writer also mentioned that he'd seen poor reviews of Dr. Weiner which somehow had been taken down. This review lacked any rancor; the writer seemed merely to be speaking in service of others who might make a better orthopedic choice. I wish I'd heeded this review. Dr. Weiner combines paranoia, arrogance and nastiness with a rather poor ability to repair an injury. He treated me with a disrespect I've never encountered in any medical situation, or in any situation. He fears lawsuits terribly. I wonder how many he's had to endure. I would strongly urge those in need… of orthopedic surgery to seek help elsewhere. I wish I had done so.

Dr. W. was easy to understand and he fixed my chronic Tendonitis without surgery in 3 weeks! Thanks so much LB

I have been a patient of Dr. Lon S. Weiner for a number of years and have always received exceptional care from him. Due to injuries from three falls, complicated by osteoporosis, I suffered breaks of the left femur and right humerus as well as a right hip fracture. Dr. Weiner surgically repaired each injury so that I am now able to continue my normal activities, which include exercises such as hiking and dancing. He also referred me to an endocrinologist to treat the osteoporosis. In addition, when I broke my femur I arrived at Lenox Hospital too late Friday to have surgery that day; the normal procedure would have been to schedule it for Monday. BUT, Dr. Weiner did not want me to have to wait until Monday. He scheduled my surgery for the next day, SATURDAY, HIS DAY OFF, and he brought in his entire surgical team. Dr. Weiner is not only a stellar surgeon, but he is a deeply compassionate and caring person who goes out of his way to care for his patients and to help them to return… to their normal quality of life. By the way, he also performed knee surgery on my son, who was in high school at the time, and who went on to play both high school and college lacrosse. Dr. Weiner approaches patient care from the perspective of achieving an outcome that is best for the patient, not what is easiest or most convenient for him. All of Dr. Weiner's medical and business staff are outstanding and highly responsive to patients' needs.

After an injury landed me in Lenox with a severe leg fracture, it is hard to say what was worse, my time in Lenox's orthopedic dept, or my care from Dr. Weiner. I guess I should say Dr. Weiner's procedure was worse, as I'm left with a disability that other Docs in NY have said was avoidable. Doctors are usually highly diplomatic about one another's work but I've had to seek care (and additional major corrective surgeries) from another highly regarded ortho group here, and have heard comments ranging from "your alignment sucks" to "they didn't properly reduce the fracture" and lastly "they could have sent you home without surgery and you might have fared as well" -that last one was from a PA, not a surgeon. Given my dreadful experience, and the oft-unhappy scene I encountered in the waiting room on followup visits, I'm skeptical of the 5 star rating this doc gets on this site. In any event, maybe this review will help a few prospective patients. If your injury is… significant, consider an alternative hospital. There are others not far (East) of there...

Dr. Weiner is the greatest doctor ever. When I came to him I had a bad foot and ankle which had been dealing with for a long time. I had seen many doctors for years who had no idea how to fix my foot and ankle. Dr. Weiner was able to finally take care of my foot and ankle. I know if it wasn't for Dr. Weiner I would more than likely be in a wheel chair for the rest of my life. I can never THANK him enough for what he has done for me and my family. He is a GREAT doctor.
