Weinstein Phyllis A DPM

I called this afternoon to try and make an appointment for new orthotics, I was asked by the person that answered the phone if I had insurance, I answered that yes I have UHP, she than told me that I had to contact my insurance carrier to see if they covered orthotics, and if they did to call back and make an appointment. I than called another Dr. on Unilocal they verified my coverage and made me an appointment. Thanks Unilocal

My very first visit with Dr. Weinstein was a very pleasant experience. I arrived a half hour early, filled out the proper paperwork I was handed by her staff and I only had to wait about 15 minutes. Her bedside manner was pleasant. She introduced herself and went to work to remove the ingrown toenail. She was very gentle but professional. I was impressed because the last podiatrist I had gone to prior had performed «minor surgery» just to remove my ingrown toenail, but Dr. Weinstein did not do that. The whole procedure lasted about 10 minutes or so. She even filed the dead skin from both my feet as an extra service. I would definitely refer her and would call her for another service in the future. Her staff were pleasant as well.

After reading the review by Mary R., I was a little apprehensive about my visit to Dr. Weinstein. Yes the office could use some updating; but as far as the service, it was top knotch! The staff was friendly and efficient. Dr. Weinstein was friendly and very personable. She took her time with me, answered my questions and advised my on how to handle the problem for which I sought help. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to her and have already recommended her to someone else.

Upon my first visit I found the office to be dirty and in need of a remodel. The receptionist was pleasant but not extremely pleasant. I was the only person in the waiting room and while waiting a medical assistant walked into the receptionist and stated «who is my next victim»? After taking me to the room she proceeded to take my blood pressure with a wrist cuff, after the reading appeared she said «you know this type of cuff is not as accurate, if your blood pressure is a little high I guess your primary doctor would tell you, right»? Very unprofessional and lacking proper medical education. Dr. Weinstein’s exam wasn’t any better, she barely touched my feet. I also noticed that she had some sort of white dust all over her scrubs which looked very gross, as I come to find out it’s due to using a Drexel to file the bottom of peoples feet! EEEEEWWWWW. A paper surgical gown would be an appropriate choice to wear during this procedure and to remove it after she is done with the individual patient! NOT wear it into the next patients exam room!!! I was told my problem was probably due to lack of potassium and the type of shoe I was wearing. Not a good exam in my opinion as I have been to another DPM’s office that was extremely professional, took xray’s of my feet on my first visit and the Doctor actually took an interest with my concerns! I would not recommend Dr. Weinstein’s office.
