I think Dr. Weinstein is a very smart man. He left no question un-answered. Full of information and sincere.
DR. WEINSTEIN IS ONE OF THE BEST DOCTORS THAT I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. FROM THE MOMENT I WALKED INTO HIS OFFICE HE AND HIS STAFF MADE ME FEEL WELCOME AND ACCOMODATED. ONE THING ABOUT DR. WEINSTEIN THAT MADE HIM UNIQUE WAS THAT HE GAVE ME A QUIZ UPON OUR INITIAL MEETING. AFTER I ANSWERED ALL OF HIS QUESTIONS HE TOLD ME IT WOULD BE HIS PLEASURE TO PERFORM THE SURGERY ON ME. I DID NOT GET IT AT FIRST SO I ASKED HIM WHAT THAT WAS ABOUT. HE SAID THAT HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS GETTING THE SURGERY FOR THE RIGHT REASONS AND THAT I UNDERSTOOD THAT WITH THE SURGERY CAME CERTAIN RESPONSIBLITIES. AT THAT TIME IS WHEN I REALIZED THAT THIS WAS NOT JUST ANOTHER DOCTOR LOOKING AT $50,000 BUT SOMEONE WHO WAS GENUINELY CONCERNED WITH HIS PATIENT.
He is great. I would recommend him and his associates to anyone interested in the surgery. He is very thorough. He is honest and to the point.
10/12/01 I have seen Dr. Weinstein 3 times so far.My initial visit,my visit after insurance approval and to set up date for surgery, and a meet with my husband. He is very reassuring! Explained in detail the procedure of RNY and any questions I had. He's very busy so there's normally a wait, but he always acts concerned for your wellbeing.
Dr Weinstein was highly recommended to me by another surgeon, my OBGYN and from a previous patient. I went in with high expectations of him and was NOT disappointed!
He was great! He is informative and understanding.
His office staff is very nice. Mary has been helpful, but she is the only one doing this and only comes in 2x's a week.
We discussed my history with my weight problem and the history of the surgery. I explained that I had been researching for a long time before coming in and I already had my mind made up to proceed. We discussed the risks but not aftercare. We will meet again for more details on type of surgery, aftercare etc. after I have been approved.
As far as which is better, surgical or bedside manner? Well I definitely prefer competence! The manners is a nice addition to have though.
I was very impressed by my doctor. I had other doctors from other hospital tell me he is the best surgeon they know of. That said alot for me when other doctors think he is the best. His office staff was very helpful. They know your scared when you come in and they are very supported. There isn't anything I don't like about Dr. Weinstein, I would and did trust him with my life. Dr. Weinstein is very straight forward. He tells you just like it is no beating around the bush. I was only on Liquids for 1 day. On the second day in the hospital I was eating eggs. We have a support group at Mobile Infirmary Hospital the 2nd thursday of each month. Which I think is wonderful. They really help with questions that only post op can answer. As for as is surgical competence he is the best. I wouldn't of let him do my surgry if I wasn't sure.
VERY SMART , HE HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME , I DID ALOT OF LOOKING AND STUDING AND I WAS READY FOR THE SURGERY WHEN I WENT IN TO SEE HIM.HIS STAFF HAS ALSO BEEN VERY HELPFUL , ALLYOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK.
I was very impressed with Dr. Weinstein, he did not get in a hurry, he took the time to answer all of my husband and my questions. He was not pushy or inconsiderate, he spoke to us in great detail about the benefits and never made light of the risk. He was very helpful in all aspects and I was very thankful to have found him.
His staff was very pleasant.
He is to the point, he does not suger coat anything. I respect that but do not go to him looking for a promise for a quick fix, or with your feelings on your sleeve, he is very nice but very honest.
Aftercare is very important and if you are not commited you are wasting your time as well as his. If you walk and eat all day you will still take in as many calories therefore not loosing any weight and putting yourself in great danger. If you follow his aftercare instructions you will SUCCEED.
He is a 10 in my book.
I think very highly of Dr. weinstein. I am very glad I chosen him to do my surgery. He has great bed side manners and cares about his patients and is straight to the point. I would recommend him to anyone who need a surgeon. I know that everyone is not perfect but I cant say anything negative at this time and done plan on haveing too. lol
