Steven Weinstein, MD's Online Review Report Card

I am disappointed Dr. Weinstein has negative reviews. I was one of his original patients when I was a child and when when bought over Dr. Lacroix’s practice in HB in the mid ‘70s. Over the years I found this doctor to be kind, caring, and genuinely concerned about his patients’ well being. He even went to see my mother when she was in Hoag Hospital with pneumonia, and she wasn’t his patient. I can’t say enough how lucky I was to have Dr. Weinstein for all of my asthma/allergies treatment over the years. I have moved out of state, but Dr. Weinstein is one of the very few things I miss about Orange County. If you have had a negative experience with Dr. Weinstein or his staff, I suggest giving him one more chance. ~Kymberlee Mignanelli Williams

Dr. Weinstein has been very effective in helping me with my allergies. His staff have been wonderful. I would definitely recommend this office.

Dr Weinstein is an arrogant jerk. My teenage daughter was seeing him for a while and she asked him a question regarding a rash she had, and he told her to google it, she was astounded then he proceed to demand she google it and read to him what the problem was. We were horrified, this guy is a jerk!!!

The staff is rude, uninformed and not helpful. They gave a runaround several times, canceled my appointment that I've waited for a long time for no good reason and forgot to transfer my files once I said enough I don't want to be dealing with your office.Not once has staff apologized for the inconvenience or tried to accommodate my requests

This doctor was extremely rude to me and made me feel really stupid while expressing my symptoms with him. I’ve never been treated so poorly by a doctor. Don’t go here.

I first went to Dr Weinstein's office 15 years ago. I was diagnosed with severe allergies. After 9 years we moved to another state. Dr Weinstein was always professional, kind & nice. Both the office staff & nurses changed over the years & there were a few whom I did not care for. Billing was a problem. Some of the nurses I liked better than others. After an additional 6 years at a different allergist office ( whom Dr Weinstein recommended in my current state) I had a retest today & am thankfully done with injections! Despite any conflicts of personality, I feel Dr Weinstein saved my health & possibly my life. Thank you Dr Weinstein & the nurses who cared!

I highly recommend Dr Weinstein. I have been going to his office for a year now to get allergy shots and it has made  a huge difference in my day to day living and have been able to finally get a peaceful nights sleep. His staff are very helpful and friendly.  A very positive experience all around.

Unfortunately, It is not very often nowadays that doctors spend quality time with their patients. Dr. Weinstein was so AMAZING and actually spent quality time with me! Not only that but he really cared to help me by ordering various tests to determine my diagnosis. I really appreciate his kind and professional demeanor along with his wonderful staff! I love this Dr. and his staff! Thanks so much for taking great care of me and being supportive. It really means a lot

I had been battling with postnasal drips for a year which resulted to chronic coughing which resulted to no sleep or at most 3hr sleep everyday which resulted to calling off work so often. I was referred to Dr. Weinstein for my unresolved issues. I finally found a doctor who took time to listen to my history and complaints to be able to draw the correct diagnosis. My symptoms are well managed now and I ditched my tedious routine of using 3 nasal sprays, Zyrtec, promethazine, countless cough drops and tussins, and not to mention my advair. Thanks to Dr. Weinstein I can work as a dentist without scaring my patients with my chronic cough. I know I still have a long way to go and he told me to be patient but he will get me there. I can see the change and finally I found a doctor. A doctor who listens to the patient first. A doctor who treats a person not the symptoms attached to a human.

I was referred to Dr. Weinstein by my primary care physician after suffering months of very traumatic allergic reaction asthma type attacks and also on another occasion for hives / rash. I was a bit hesitant after reading all the reviews, however the location was convenient and I needed to pinpoint the issue quick. I usually don&#39;t leave reviews but felt the need to, in hopes that others are not deterred from this office like I almost was. <br>First, the staff was tremendously welcoming, kind, friendly and accommodating. I even mistakenly cancelled an appointment due to my miscommunication and they were still great enough to find a way to make it work and squeeze me back into the schedule, despite already filling in my cancelled appointment spot.<br>Second, Dr. Weinstein is not only extremely caring and kind, but he knows his stuff! I saw him for 2 separate issues and both times he was able to easily pinpoint my issues and get me on the path to treatment / recovering. He always communicates his thought process with you and makes sure you fully understand the diagnosis, treatment, preventative measures, and what to do next if the issues return. Heaven forbid I suffer from any new or puzzling reactions, Dr. Weinstein will be the first doctor I visit.

This doctor was extremely rude to me and made me feel really stupid while expressing my symptoms with him. I’ve never been treated so poorly by a doctor. Don’t go here.

My daughter visited this doctor and found him to be extremely rude. Not professional at all and regardless of any issue she discuss he was contradicting and explained nothing that made sense. Doctors are supposed to be the caring individuals to make you healthy not talk down to patients. Would never recommend this Dr.

I had four appointments and testing at Dr. Weinstein&#39;s office in Huntington Beach during probably the worst time to have appointments: COVID19 time.<br>His office deserves five stars, hands down.<br><br>The office: Clean and organized.  Keeping things to a minimal on counters. Keeping distance in the waiting room. Checking your temperature as you enter. You have to have a mask and they have a sink near the front desk where you to wash your hands per their request (way better than hand sanitizer, but they have hand sanitizer available too). This is the office I&#39;ve felt safer and I&#39;ve had quite a few appointments this past months.<br><br>The staff and patient care management: Every single staff member that I interacted with was very polite and efficient, in person and on the phone. Authorizations, appointments, reminder calls, all was done timely and trying to fit my schedule. They seemed happy too. That is great to see in a time of struggle.<br><br>Dr. Weiner: Thorough, knowledgeable, and kind. He listens, he looks for answers, he provides excellent feedback and advice, and he does it with a warm demeanor. When was the last time you felt your doctor cared personally for your wellbeing? Dr. Weinstein makes you feel like that, without wasting your time either.<br><br>I am grateful for the care I received. I am happy to know I&#39;m well and won&#39;t need further testing, but I will miss this kind of excellent people and service everywhere else. I hope other professionals can follow Dr. Weinstein&#39;s model.

UPDATE April 2020: I had bloodwork (9 vials of blood to be exact) done MONTHS ago after my appointment I reviewed, and all they keep sending me is the copay bill for the worthless office visit. They would never give me my results, so I figured why would I pay them for doing nothing? Last time I checked, you pay for services rendered and mine weren&#39;t rendered. How hard is it to mail lab results? I still don&#39;t have a clue what my allergies are. I love Hoag, but their &#34;specialists&#34; have been crap. <br><br>I almost didn&#39;t go to my appointment after reading the bad reviews. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by everyone I encountered. No complaints at all about my visit. <br><br>Unfortunately, I was told that when I was to return to do my allergy prick test, to bring in all the things I think I&#39;m allergic to. Like huh? I gotta go shopping, decide what I think I&#39;m allergic to, and bring it in to be tested with it?  I&#39;m supposed to just be the uneducated patient, and now I the allergist. My sister was prick tested with her allergy doctor, and found she was allergic to formaldehyde. She sure as hell didn&#39;t bring in her own jug of formaldehyde lol <br><br>I&#39;m assuming my next testing visit will be a $25 copay and then the follow up will be a $25 copay. I&#39;ll be $75 deep in copays and a possibly have allergy items totaling $50+... and then if it turns out I&#39;m right, I did all the work?! Oh yeah, and what if I&#39;m wrong, then I&#39;ll never know what I&#39;m truly allergic to.<br><br>I decided to cancel the appointment and do an extensive allergy test I found on Groupon for $40. I don&#39;t really understand what happened here, but I&#39;ll just cure myself like I always do. Doctors are good for prescriptions and that&#39;s about it.

In 5+ years, I saw Dr. Weinstein only a few times. I was on allergy shots with on end in site.I still needed to take allegy meds and nose spray. I had previous gone to another allergist, but insurance changed. He had me on a 3 year plan to get me off meds. When I stopped (2.5 yrs) I didn't use meds for over 3yrs! Dr Weinstein's office is more of a maintenance regiment not a cure.
