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 only thing Weitzman knows how to do is write prescriptions and read notes from other doctors on his computer. CVS called my husband and told him he shouldn't have been prescribed 2 prescriptions at the same time that - CVS knows better than Weitzman. We have to suggest what should be done next as in PT, what specialists we should go to, etc. Shouldn't that be his job?! You question what he does and he gets an attitude. He ordered the wrong equipment so now we are waiting 3 months to get what we need. My husband likes him because he is lazy and Weitzman prescribes any pills my husband wants. If you're a pill popper he's your man, if you want to get better go to a capable Dr.
