Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

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

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

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

I'm very picky about my doctors. Dr. Weinshel was my third PCP, and I'm very happy with him and his staff. His NP, Paula Ferriera, is also knowledgeable and professional. I do not recommend this place if you wake up in a bad mood every day, and feel like ruining everyone's day you meet.

I was going through some health issues and doctor Weinshel neglected to tell me all of my results. He refused me from getting the proper test that needed to be done. I demanded to have them and he sent me a letter stating to find another doctor. I did and found out that I have kidney disease and possible need surgery to have my olavaries removed could be caner. Did you know that all he cares about is himself and his money. Every time a doctor books a MRI it goes against him.

Dr Weinshel was excellent, however, I will never go back because the gal who makes his appointments was rude, arrogant and condescending.
