Wieder Jeffrey A, MD

I have been a patient of Dr. Wieder for over 10 years and I count my blessings that he is my urologist. He has treated my condition and with his help and guidance we selected the most effective treatment. Dr. Wieder always takes his time to explain the condition, helps me understand my options and provides guidance to come to the best decision. When I talk to Dr. Wieder I get a feeling of confidence and he has a way of communicating in lay terms. Thanks to Dr. Wieder my condition is under control.
During all the years that I have been going to Golden Gate Urology, Dr. Wieder’s staff has always been most professional, helpful, respectful and accommodating.
I have complete confidence in Dr. Wieder and I highly recommend him as one of the best urologist in the area.

i’m sure Dr. Wieder is a good doctor for those with good insurance. however, i was wished on him by my primary care doctor at the last minute. i have only medicare/​medi-​cal — his office staff have been disrespectful, abrupt, dismissive, just plain not nice. i have very nice doctors with my
insurance and am grateful for each one. i’ve been my usual polite, thankful self — realizing how fragile doctor’s egos can be. Taser, another doc in the practice was the one i had to talk to tonight. for me it was an emergency — unsure about an antibiotic that i had just finished with, and ER wanted me to take it again. he was just super pissed i called so late with an «emergency» as he put it. i needed my doc to say it was either OK, or give me something else. had just finished taking a round of same med. a month ago. i awakened him from his beauty sleep. just got back from ER 11:30. Wow! was he unpleasant. i have never had a doctor talk to me like that before. if he’s on call, then he’s on call, right? anyway, the women in his office are the same way, the whole practice
is like that. So, if you have good insurance, you will like this place.
because they can be nice and respectful, i’ve heard them in the office. otherwise, look elsewhere.

Bedside manner with a discreet sense of humor was the deciding factor for selecting Dr Wieder and his staff for a very delicate procedure. I highly recommend him for urology care.

After many, many bad experiences with arrogant, rushed, impatient doctors, I know that those like Dr. Wieder are rare. He listens carefully, answers questions confidently and thoroughly in simple terms, and admits when there are things he doesn’t understand. The last bit is the most rare, at least in my experience. If you want a doctor who will patiently talk you through treatment plans, suggest both conventional and unconventional (nutrition, herbs) options, and make you feel respected as a patient, this is your guy.

Dr. Wieder’s calming demeanor helps to put patients at ease and he takes the time to listen to his patients. He really goes that extra mile to explain all options and work with each patient’s unique circumstances. Dr. Wieder sets the bar high for professionalism and bedside manner; other physicians could learn a lot from him.

This doctor is excellent! Really up to date and works with you to make you feel comfortable and provide answers that you need.

Add one more for a patient quite pleased with Dr. Jeffrey Wieder himself and the medical part (as well as anyone can be pleased with having to see a urologist). But like others, I’m also unhappy about the waits (mostly in waiting rooms with a large screen TV that plays continuous medical commercials) and the indifferent front office staff. I also got an extra bill for an office visit I had already paid for — which they want me to prove rather than checking their own bank records.
I rate it 5 stars for the doc but only 2 for the practice.

Dr. Weider himself gets AT LEAST 5 stars from me. He’s a personable guy that really knows his stuff. During my consultation, he was extremely thorough and addressed all of my concerns in a very genuine and professional manner. He wasn’t just in and out in 2 seconds, we actually spoke at length about my problem, he brought up various options on how to deal with it, and was meticulous about explaining all the pros and cons in regards to all the possible treatments. I was very happy with my experience at his office.
The staff was friendly and efficient and parking is available in the same building, which is a plus because I hate driving around looking for street parking. The office also validates parking so you don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for it. I was parked from 2:20pm to 4pm for about $ 4.
Minus one star because of the wait. I’m a new patient and my appointment was at 2:45pm. I arrived 20 minutes early to fill out necessary paperwork, but wasn’t seen until sometime after 3:30pm. The staff and the doctor were very apologetic and explained that they had some emergency cases that backed them up. Sh** happens, I guess. There’s really nothing I could do about that in such a situation. I’m just against waiting more than 30 minutes for any appointment I’ve arrived on time for.
I’d say he was worth the wait, though.

Apart from the fact that you might have a urologist with a last name is ‘Wieder’ (something my wife especially found funny!)…everything about this guy is first-​class professionalism.
This was my first visit to urologist, so I frankly didn’t know what to expect. But I was in and out pretty quickly. After giving me your basic male checkup, and examining some of areas of concern… he laid out the options very clearly.
I know many guys don’t want another guy doctor doing anything ‘down there’…but I don’t know what else you are going to do. Sometimes, you just gotta get checked out. I don’t expect you’ll find anyone better.

What a nice guy!
Not the kind of doctor who only listens to you for 2 minutes then interrupts.
He really takes the time to determine what is going on with you, and addresses all of your concerns.
People in his office are also very pleasant.
(the parking garage is bank though if you forget to get validated– don’t forget!)
