Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The absolute worst
After being rear ended in an accident the office refused to see me because of a 10 year old note that makes 0 sense: this dr deserves all the bad reviews he gets!!! Do not recommend!!!

So personally I can say that he has little empathy for his long-term patients. I always followed his Direction for a decade-plus and he treated me so disrespectful on my Marge visit and would not even let me say one word. He told me I was discharged because of a dirty UA which I found out was false from his own staff. I held you in high respect Dr Weingarten for a long time now I must have had blinders on for the way you treated me and didn't care no I have many many issues. Karma

Have been a patient of theirs for many years. The office staff in Syosset is TERRIBLE!!!! They could care less and treat people like they are drug addicts. The New Hyde park staff is amazing and all Drs are amazing.

Aweful, because the staff is nasty and lazy at the Syosset office. Asked to speak to office manager who turned out to be just as lazy and disrespectful. Disabled during 9-11 and in serious pain. Was there for shots. They treated me like a drug addict, and refused to make a simple call to verify my referral which I could not do. Can't lift my hand past my shoulder. Wonder is Weingarten knows how bad his staff is at Syosset. In New Hyde Park they are angels who go the extra mile for patients.
