5.0 star star star star starI absolutely love having Dr. Weinberg as my doctor. He is incredibly thorough and never rushes through appointments_no matter how busy he may be. He remembers details about my life and my family members, which makes every visit feel personal and truly cared for. What stands out most is how genuinely he offers himself as a resource in any way he can. I always feel like he has my back and is on my side, which is something you don't find often in healthcare. His kindness, attentiveness, and compassion make each appointment not just helpful but genuinely enjoyable. I am so grateful to have a doctor who consistently goes above and beyond. Dr. Weinberg is truly one of a kind!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Weinberg is a little more agressive on treatments, and that has helped me. For example, other physicans felt that I did not need GLP1 drugs, but Dr. Weinberg made the right call in prescribing it and I feel much healthier at the lower weight.

5.0 star star star star starAlthough I was running late for appointments (was stuck in hospital parking lot for about 40 minutes, even witnessed two drivers fighting for parking space), left message for personnel to let them know I was running late. Doctor Weinberg was gracious enough to see me past appointment, he took the time to explain EKG results in a caring and compassionate way. Taking the time to listen to my concerns and included me in the treatment options. Doctor Weinberg's dedication to me as a patient is truly remarkable and does not go unnoticed.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Weinberg takes care of my son who comes from out of state for his cardiac issues. When I found out I needed a cardiology exam, I came to him from Texas. He is a uniformly outstanding doctor. He is thorough, knowledgeable and sensitive to his patients needs. I cannot think of going anywhere else.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
