Dr. Wein is the best doctor I have ever met. He is caring & he has excellent bedside manner. I trust his judgement. He is exceptionally skilled and caring physician hard to find these day. I feel so lucky to have his practicing in Massachusetts.

I feel so blessed my father has this man as his doctor. Everything ypu read here about Dr. Wein is true= he is the best at what he does. We never waited longer than 5 minutes in the waiting room ( and he is a BUSY man) ..He is thorough ..explains everything so you understand.. knowing everyone is not in the medical field. He is compassionate for not only the patient but the family members as well. And don't think once the surgery is done you wont see him anymore ..nope .. he comes in personally and calls family members to update them if they are unable to be at the hospital.

My husband was treated by Dr. Wein a few weeks ago while hospitalized at Tufts MC. Dr. Wein was in almost daily contact with me to update me on my husband's progress and visited my husband daily while he was in the critical care unit for TWO WEEKS. I think he is an exceptionally skilled and caring physician.

Dr. Wein has a fantastic combination of being a superior surgeon and a wonderful human. He is this rare type of doctor who heals his patients with just his presence, giving patients hope and strength to fight a disease. I'm greatly thankful to Dr. Wein for saving my live. The operation he performed could not be done better it was a miracle.

Dr. Wein has gone above and beyond the call - working to overcome every obstacle that cancer can invoke on one's body. He's done his job with agressive compassion.
