Douglas H. Weinstein's Online Review Report Card

Love Dr. Weinstein, he truly is the best in NJ for Gastroparesis but his office staff is horrible.

After many years of suffering miserably with gastroparesis, Dr.Weinstein got me in for GPOEM surgery, and I finally got my life back. Yes it takes longer to get an appt because he's simply at a higher skill lever than your normal GI Dr, so you should expect that, but when you need the best dr, he's it.

Sold out to capital health hospital. Terrible patient care, had a procedure done with anesthesia and then told my follow up was 4 months out. The doctor wanted to see me in 4 weeks. His office did not care. I called 4 times in 6 weeks trying to get the right appointment or through to someone who cared. I tried to get access to the doctor through the patient portal and they would not give me access. Doctor literally doesn’t care how his office is run. Tried talking to him multiple times about this to no end. Please safe yourself the stress especially if you are really sick, he will add nothing but problems to your plate.

The doctors office itself is a disaster, the staff are the rudest I’ve encountered. I had two surgeries back to back weeks and was then told to call for a follow up. The scheduler told me four months. I asked to speak to a manger because I am very lll and the surgeries did not help me and the lady hung up on me. I’ve tried to talk to the doctor about his staff and he literally shrugged. He’s supposed to be the best in his area and he’s just a bad person.

Dr. Weinstein is a nice doctor but it seems like the office is very on organized which is very scary. I had four or five important tests with him. The problem is the last test was revised and the hospital will not release all my records to me. The hospital staff at the medical library where are the records for patients are say the records Are incomplete. I put my request in to get my records over three weeks now.

I had been living most of my life undiagnosed with POTS which is a nervous system dysfunction that affects almost every bodily function including digestion. I had seen countless doctors trying to figure out what was wrong with me. On average it takes 4 years for a POTS patient to get a diagnosis because doctors aren't diminish with the condition. This doctor referred me to a specialist after looking at me as a whole person and suggesting I look into a POTS specialist. He finally got me the answers I was looking for. Thank you, Doctor!

Dr. Weinstein is very patient, thorough, & explains everything. I highly recommend him.

Rarely returns phone calls. Was 2 hours late on Tele Med call for my wife. We were not available and he wanted to reschedule 3 months later. NOT ACCEPTABLE. Been waiting months to get a prescription.

He ordered a ton of bloodwork, I thought, had to do with my condition. I met to go over all the abnormal blood work. He had no idea what all the high and low levels meant. Then why did he order if he could not figure out abnormal results. He did say well you have a new antibody. Again he could not explain what it was. He did not refer me to a doctor who could explain the results. He made 0 effort to at least look up the antibody condition that causes severe issues. I left angry, defeated and frustrated. This practice overall is so subpar. They will not make an appointment until after they receive a 10 pg questionnaire. They do not view anything prior and really just glance iver what you have written. I have basically very little trust in this practice. Whatever genius decided that you had to send the paperwork before you could make an appountment is an idiot. I do not recommend this practuce at all.

If you enjoy an office staff that can't return your call for several days at a time, and who actively avoids your calls, cannot give you any information regarding WHEN you can get an appointment or WHEN an appointment may be booked, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. If you enjoy someone who actually takes the time to treat you like a living breathing human being, GO ELSEWHERE. Every single minute of my experience with this practice was nightmare inducing.
