Wow! People can be cruel. I chose Dr. Weiner after much research. His reputation is incredible and I have personally witnessed the results of very complicated surgeries he has performed. When I called for my apt, I was informed that he typically did not see pts with hardware already in place which has failed. Really wanting his opinion on my shoulder, the staff asked him and he immediately reviewed my MRI and agreed to see me. I was elated from what I had heard about him and patiently waited for my apt.
I have never been to an orthopedic doc who runs exactly on time. Ortho patients are difficult, in pain and frustrated. He made me feel comfortable, and thoroughly investigated my history from 18 years ago. He is careful and cautious. That's what I look for in a doc. Not that he's on time.
He also personally called me from his office at 930 (still working) to review my second MRI findings. That is a rare find. He knows his patients and remembers his patients. Even comes in room with a cheat sheet which I love because I know he reviews charts right before entering a room.
I have a big surgery coming up and require a IVC filter to be placed prior to surgery due to a history of PEs. Again, all I have witnessed is being thorough and cautious and takes his time with his patients. You will never feel rushed and will not leave with unanswered questions (but if you think of another question after leaving, call his sweet office girls and they will relay the message and you will shortly be receiving a personal phone call).
For the other reviews I read, you should be ashamed and find another office. Perhaps Google fastest ortho doc.
Thank you for taking my case Dr. Weiner!
