Robert S Weinstein, MD

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Weinstein for almost 5 years. He’s really someone who cares about his patients and gets to know you to provide the best treatment. The wait time is a little long but that’s only because it’s just him at his practice. The waiting room is comfortable and has lots of reading the material. The exam rooms are large and have changing rooms inside. He’s a very straight to the point doctor without sugar coating anything and that’s something I really appreciate. He gets backs to you with lab results right away. His staff must truly enjoy working for him and also get to know you by name. My only issue is parking in center city. I wish his office could validate parking. Overall I would highly recommend Dr. Weinstein and plan on being a patient of his as long as he’s in practice.

I have seen Dr. Weinstein twice for my annual exams.
First visit was ok, though front desk was not friendly which did not bother me at the time.
My second visit was a nightmare! First, I noticed his nurse placing a speculum right on the table. I complained to the doctor to replace a speculum since it was touching the table, quite unsanitary. I asked to place a speculum on the tray. The nurse was not happy about my request and gave me an attitude. Dr. Weinstein though was very patient about the situation and promised me to talk to that nurse about being unprofessional. Second, Dr. Weinstein did not do pap smear test though I came for a routine exam. I was left under impression that my Keystone Health East insurance covered my annual exam. I was not told about any extra charges at the time of my visit.
I was extremely surprised to see a bill from MDL in the amount of $ 225 for nine candida tests. Nine tests, no one in the office informed me about what specific tests they were. Had I been told about hidden cost I would not agree for the tests to be performed. I called the office several times, they directed me to call the lab. Not sure why would they send those tests to the lab my insurance did not cover. I called the office again and asked them to mail those test results to my home address. It was ignored and never mailed to me. I tried unsuccessfully resolve the billing issue calling the office for 3 weeks.
Finally I came to the office to ask some questions and pick up my medical records including test results that was not mailed to me. Front desk person, Angela, treated me so badly and unprofessional, I can hardly describe that horror. She screamed at me the whole time, not giving any answers, and yelling that it was not her job. I told her that I could not read handwriting on my medical record and she quickly humiliated me in front of all other patients. The other lady working in the office was quite rude as well. They both rolled their eyes, being condescending and yelled at me at the same time. What I understood from their screaming that they do not care how much it cost and they do not have to give a patient an estimate, they just send it to whatever lab and then I have to pick up the bill. When I exited and close the door immediately I heard those two ladies mocking me and laughing and gossiping about me with other office workers and patients. That was extremely traumatic and humiliating experience, not even including that I am $ 225 short. What if it was $ 1525 instead of $ 225.
Patients must be aware how unprofessional and illiterate this medical office!!!
Be careful, you could end up paying a huge bill later on!!!

The waiting room is really comfortable and quiet. The receptionist was very friendly and made me feel comfortable and gave me all of the necessary forms, My appointment was on schedule. Dr. Weinstein is an amazing doctor. He does everything to make you feel comfortable and at ease. He has a good sense of humor and his professionalism and demeanor are what will keep me going back to see him. He is very thorough. I loved the little changing room inside of the exam room. Ive been to a few places where i had to walk out of the bathroom in a gown. The nurse who took my blood pressure was very kind and they were all really supportive that i forgot to get a pedicure.

The doctor is very nice and experienced. Nurse who works there is friendly and amazing. However, the front desk lady is a complete witch — forget trying to schedule an appointment, get a referral or a follow up. I have been trying to get their referral for a cad scan and 3 months later she still has not processed documentation. Plus is is very unfriendly. Giving 1 star just because of that!

Dr. Weinstein is amazing! I’ve gone through 2 other gyns and they were nowhere as good as Dr. Weinstein.
PROS:
— Great personal skills– friendly, compassionate, non-​judgmental, very funny
— Very thorough– he cares about what you have to say, does all the necessary tests, and always finds the accurate diagnosis. His tests are very specific… he doesn’t just test for positive/​negative but what strains, etc.
— Very gentle– he cares a lot about my comfort.
— Friendly staff– he has two secretaries and they are very welcoming and opinionated
CONS:
— Parking is tough
— Sometimes he makes me wait a bit (but he apologizes up and down about it) And he spends so much time with me, I totally understand him being late from taking his time with other patients.
I really like Dr. Weinstein. He’s not like a typical GYN. He’s very nice, never condescending or judgmental, knows how to calm a nervous patient down with humor, great at what he does, and has my complete trust.

Dr. Weinstein has been my gyn for too many years to count, and I guess that is recommendation enough. When I first went to him, in the late ’70’s — he was the ob/​gyn my friends whose husbands were doctors at HUP went to — I would not go to anyone else. Dr. Weinstein is thorough, informative and trustworthy… and what’s more, he returns phone calls THAT DAY! An excellent physician in all respects… I recommend him to anyone.
