Marc A. Weinstein, M.D.

I saw Caitlin. She's awesome

Excellent! Polite, professional, knowledgable, intuitive, kind natured.

Dr Weinstein was awesome. He asked all the right questions and came up with a plan of action that made a lot of sense. Highly recommend.

Dr Weinstein inherited a very complex case in me when I moved to Florida in 2018. Since that time he has provided my spine care and surgical needs and I have great respect for and confidence in Dr. Weinstein. He is an excellent doctor and surgeon and I am grateful to be under his care!

I understand that everyone has bad days. Dr Weinstein’s bedside manner lacks in Customer Service. I totally understand, having been married to a physician for 25 plus years, the pressure related to patient scheduling which resulted in him being more than an hour behind the scheduled times. Arguably, as a result, his demeanor was short and almost robotic in nature. Moreover, I haven’t had this type of experience with any other physician at that practice. All have been exceptional in all aspects! Thanks

I didn't see Dr. Weinstein today, but Caitlyn Arnp was thorough and listened intently to all I presented. She came up with a plan of other doctors I need to see and tests I need to gather for further study. Carlos got the MRI reports sent from UDI, with discs following. I left feeling like progress is being made in determining how much my back issues are contributing to my pain, balance, neuropathy issues.

I didn't meet him but the assistant I did see was awesome.

Nice and helpful person

Caitlyn is great!

Office didn’t have results on my mylogram. This was my f/u appt

Love FOI, but will never acknowledge the names Ann Gowski or Mark Weinstein again. You wanna be talked at and down to while feeling like a criminal being grilled ? Then go and enjoy

I don’t know if he’s good or not. I was given an appointment with the wrong doctor. I waited a month to get a shot for lower back pain to be told he only does surgery. I made it clear what I wanted and yet they still gave me this doctor. He’s useless to me

Never saw the doctor, waited 34 days for an appointment, for texted five times before the appointment to not be late or fail to make the appointment. Arrived 15 minutes early and waited for an hour to be told you must have a referral to see the doctor. Still have no idea what is the results of the MRI taken on April 25. Worse experience ever.

Far better than I ever imagined.

Dr Weinstein Horrible Experience I had a visit with Dr. Weinstein May 23 at 10:15 AM. I had x-rays taken of my lower back lumbar region. Dr. Weinstein‘s PA came in first to evaluate my condition. I explained to her the pain I was having not only in my lower back but all the way in my right leg and hip area down to a tingling or numbness in my right leg and foot. I explained that the pain was so bad that I was unable to walk in the mornings. Additionally, my cervical spine region was also causing numbness and tingling in my left arm. Both areas had MRIs and x-rays in 2018, which are in my records with Florida Orthopaedic Institute . I canceled my I also explained to her that I had a cyst near my lower lumbar spine area about six or seven years ago that left a hole in that area that was infected and had to be removed and that a new growth was starting to appear right near that same region. I also explained to her that my hip region was very painful as well as my right groin area and par

Marc was straight to the point and gave me honest feedback. I immediately felt like I could trust him and will continue to see him if needed.

It was a great experience.

Met with Caitlin. Explained the X-ray results. Actually listened to what I had to say and worked with me instead of being cut and dry. Truly appreciated that. Also very well organized and efficient getting patients in and out. Friendly staff also helped.

This guy is an absolute joke. The communication in your office is another joke. I will continue to post about my terrible experience all over his pages. My MRI was low quality but why wouldn’t you send for another day one? Ignorance.

Very thorough, honest and made us feel comfortable.

Dr. Weinstein always takes his time in addressing and explaining whatever the issue may be. Being a post operative patient, If needed I would teus him over and over in performing back surgery

He was very thorough and really talked to me about my issues. He didn’t rush thru the visit and made suggestions for future care if needed!

Wonderful compassionate doctor who listens to your concerns and explains in detail his thoughts on your problem and options to treatment or not to

I saw Caitlyn

Dr Weinstein demonstrates a wealth of knowledge, a discerning approach to your individual problems and much appreciated empathy. A fine physician and surgeon!

took time to give me options and to answer my questions

The whole staff at your company was excellent I mean every nurse even the arnp you sent to check my information and I just wanted to let you know I was looking forward to meeting you but your whole team was excellent

He is the Best Doctor I have had👍🏼

His assistant, forgot her name, was fantastic. She explained everything and answered all my questions. Thank you!

Excellent Physician. Quickly understands the issues and comes up with solutions to help alleviate them.

I didn’t see him

Bottom Line -- an absolute waste of my time. Abrupt attitude, poor bedside manner and certainly not a people person. I would never refer anyone to him.

Horrible bedside manner, was over an hour late for appt and didn’t even apologize. Walked out of the room at one point and didn’t even excuse himself.

Outstanding Dr.

The nurse practitioner was exceptional! Have not seen the doctor yet but will next visit

Great compassionate tell it like it is quality surgeon. Communicates all aspects and issues with complicated problems and options for the patient. Compassionate to lifestyle concerns on medical options and choices.

Excellent job, with all my questions.

Waited over an hour and a half . Had to reschedule. Why have appointments if you can’t honor them?

Very kind and personable. Well explained.

Both Doctor Weinstein and his assistant Doctor Mike were extremely helpful, and all my concerns and worries were alleviated :)

Very kind doctor. Excellent person

Dr. Weinstein and his nurse practioner were excellent. Addressed my back issues, by listening and laying out my options for treatment in a timely manner. Answered questions and explained procedure.

Great experience.

Thank you for giving me a 2024 new back ……

El mejor doctor, siempre lo recomendare excelente profesional. Un gran equipo. Bendiciones

I did not see Dr. WEINSTEIN.

He’s an excellent doctor.

He was very informative. He explained my options and gave me an opportunity to ask questions. I highly recommend him.

Seeems very focused and professional

He is the best

Listened to my symptoms and explained in detail a plan for healing.

Couldn't ask for better

knowledgeable and down to earth.

Dr,Weinstein,is a great surgeon help me recuperate my health, he is caring he is very concern about all his patients will be grateful the rest of my life.

Wonderful doctor. He does a thorough exam and offers conservative treatment. He was very pleasant and answered my questions.

Great

explains and shows concern takes the time with patient allows me to understand., lets me ask my questions

The staffing was a nightmare. Stupid! Had no sense of urgency to investigate my case. Simply brush me off as I was a homeless. It takes months to make appointment with specialist n money too. Especially the years end. Get professional medical employees who cares about patients. Let them understand without patients, they would NOT have a job. Thank you for wasting my valuable time.

Did not see doctor saw his PA instead. The appointment went well. However we did have a long wait before being checked in

Extremely pleased with the overall visit

Friendly, caring and professional. Does a good job of putting you at ease prior to surgery

Doctor was not prepared, did not have all my information. When he looked at my MRI and we discussed the symptoms he said that surgery could help then he mentioned an injection, leaving it up to me and without giving much explanation on what each procedure’s risk and result had, unless I asked. I hope to find another doctor that has interest in the well being of the patient and invest time in understanding the patients complaints. I waited almost one hour to be seen for less than 15 minutes of consultation.

Excellent Dr.

Excellent doctor. Explains things very well. Thank you

Dr Weinstein was less interested in me since my issues were not back problems

I didn't get to see Dr. Weinstein as I was told I would.

Professional attitude answered my questions, and recommended a Pain Management Doctor for followe up treatment.

I wasn’t seen by Dr. Weinstein but I was seen by his nurse practitioner. She provided excellent service and was very friendly. She actively listened to my situation.

communicated well as to future plan for health care.

Dr Weinstein was not caring and did not really listen to me. Honestly, a few of his comments were rude. I've never had a doctor talk to me like that and finish with me in about 7 minutes. Too bad because he is probably a good doctor.

Exceptional surgeon!

Did not see Weinstein, but Kaitlyn was great

Thank you 😊

Dr Weinstein surgery on my neck was Amazing! It was an old College Football injury from 45+ years ago. My pain and numbness in my arms, neck, and shoulders are gone! It’s been a huge life change for me. Dr Weinstein was upfront and through on what I should expect from the Surgery, and the end results.

Awesome

I never got to speak to him because he never got on the TeleMed call

Very knowledgeable and very understanding. Understood what I was describing and explained the reason it was happening. Thankful that he gave me some hope and direction on the path to take for my nerve pain.

I no longer have any back pain nor do I have sciatica.

Highly progfecional

Great doctor/ surgeon

The doctor never showed up. I never saw him. His medical team charged my co-pay upfront and billed my insurance. I was very upset. I would never recommend anyone book an appointment with this doctor.

Very smooth on time 1st appointment!

His expert knowledge made me feel so comfortable and put my mind at ease!

Very Very thorough. Was impressed with his protocol.

Professional and thorough

I never saw Dr.Weinstein—even though I was promised that I would up into the last minute that that the nurse practitioner walked into the room. She was actually very nice and extremely knowledgeable, so I was very pleased with her. My only complaint is that I was lied to and not even given an explanation az to the reason.

Did not see him! Saw his PA

The APRN was very helpful and professional. She made explaining my problem easy and offered good advise.

Great Doctor

Communicated well what the situation is and walked me through a plan.

Made an appointment weeks ago to meet with Dr. Weinstein. Waited well over 90 minutes in the exam room before the PA came in and went over the same stuff as my meeting weeks ago. She left to discuss with the doctor, only to return 10 - 15 minutes later to tell me that I needed a new MRI. My MRI from June was given to her for the doctor's review 6 weeks ago and apparently wasn't reviewed prior to my appointment. I left after spending nearly two hours without meeting the doctor. A near total waste of my time. No apologies, I feel disrespected. Hopefully, I won't have to wait too long for my next appointment.

NOTE : Personal attention with promoting a follow up in 8 weeks ! Thank you, Louis Ozarowski

For me he is an excellent doctor, and very professional and I am very grateful to him for that I recommend him to everyone I know who needs an orthopedic there is Dr. Weinstein. many blessings to him. a great doctor.

Poor communication and quality of service

I didn't get to see dr.weinstein. The doctor I saw was a good doctor very professional and helpful.

I felt like he was dismissive of my problem. He seemed fine that I went from an active lifestyle to having to take painkiller and muscle relaxers daily. He also said that a disc tear and bulge probably did not cause my previous back pain. ?!? When I asked about everyday activities causing pain he suggested more antiinflammatory painkillers and aerobics. I'm not sure how aerobics will help me pick up my toddler or do house chores, but ok. I had to push to get an alternative to pills like physical therapy.

Get out come from my surgery in feb. 2023.

Visit with you Resident was helpful and I will follow instructions

Very professional and caring. Truly the best!

Top Shelf! I felt heard, understood and was provided with options.

Back surgery 100 percent successful. Very thankful.

Dr. W was pleasant, informative, and very patient about all my questions!

He’s a great doctor. He explained everything to me and went over everything that needs to be done. I would not go to any other doctor but him.

His bedside manner could use alittle j Makeover

I trust Dr Weinstein with my neck!!!! I will forever be grateful for 16 yrs so far with minimal pain, giving me a good life.

Rescheduled

Great Doctor!!!

Professional and caring with his patients. Always listens to me. He is the best!

Very professional and felt like he really listened

Dr Weinstein had a terrible attitude and seemed to be upset. I will never go back to see him again. I would never recommend him or your organization and I will make sure to let everyone know how I was treated with the lack of compassion and kindness! I also waited 2 hours to see him and that’s how he treated me! Sorry excuse for a Doctor!

Provided helpful information and was a very good first experience

Gave us xray report straight shooter gave options recovery times. Short and to the point. Exudes confidence.

Provider seeed preoccupied and in a hurry.

Very curt, seemed disconnected. I understand he’s a surgeon but his bedside manner is lacking.

Wonderful Doctor and he explained everything so well.

Awesome staff really helpful thank you

A marvelous surgeon who has made my life so much more manageable and has literally returned me to a life that makes me feel 30 years younger with no more back pain. I can’t thank him enough!

Great demeanor and excellent knowledge of my broblem.

Very excellent surgeon. However, video visit stated would do X,Y,Z, but felt he could use professional license to change items of operation without discussion with patient.

I never saw the Dr, I saw the Nurse Practioner

Dr. Weinstein was very straight forward and informative with what my needs are right now

Dr. Was friendly, concerned about my needs, and very competent. A very good neurosurgeon.

Appointment was at 9:00 Am. Did not see him until 10:15 am. He had not looked at my chart and asked me to wait until he went over it, Will not return to FO and will tell others to go somewhere else. Also, bathroom was filthy and could not get toilet paper out of the holder.

Great doctor

Dr Weinstein is fantastic surgeon after surgery I never felt better best I felt in 30 years

Appointment was right on time

No bedside manner! Tried to tell me what I should be telling my insurance company instead of wasting his time having to come back in again, in order to get an MRI! Tell me I should’ve just called his nurse! I don’t make the rules I just follow them so I don’t understand. I much prefer to see his ARNP katelyn, Dobson, Dobson, who is phenomenal!

Late! Late! Got there at 930 for 935 appt at 1020 still had people in front. Not acceptable. We have jobs. Same thing occurred first visit which as only a few mins because although I had multiple MRI’s, X-rays, etc…still wasn’t enough. Didn’t exam me. Just said get more info and sent me off. Second visit on the way he was sick.

Great professional !

No compassion, rude bedside manner.

Only met for an initial consult so far, but he took his time, listened, is not interested in rushing to surgery (that I will probably have to have in the long run) took my concerns/fears into account and is trying other options before we take that final, irreversible step. I was very unhappy to lose my prior doc due to insurance issues - but happily surprised and impressed with his referral to Weinstein.

Dr. Weinstein is a phenomenal surgeon. I have had two very successful surgeries with him. In addition, he really went to bat for me when the insurance company was being ridiculous. Don’t expect fluff because that isn’t what he does. Instead of fluff, he will give you accurate and honest information about your condition and will let you know what he can or cannot do. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

He’s got a great personality and explains everything clearly.

Fantastic surgeon! No doubt about it!

No empathy, very harsh, made me feel that he was insinuating that I was telling a lie about my back pain, he kept drilling me over and over with same questions, I felt humiliated, agitated, irritated, hurt feelings, felt like a child being scolded for doing something wrong

Missed teleconference call because I didn’t know about clicking on phone link.

Said I don’t need surgery and sent me on my way. I was never interested in surgery and was just seeing him because that’s who Florida orthopedic recommended for spine. I was interested in other treatment options but he says I have to see a different team for that. Great. Also not very caring

Great with listening and answering questions directly. His support was right on target and was feeling much better following his medical directs within 30min. I look forward to working with dr. Weinstein further at this time plus the P.A. Very supportive and the entire office. Thx so much for seeing me so quickly.

I did not get to see him.

Except that I saw his P.A., not him.

He came prepared. He actually read my chart, discussed with me and looked at my mri and xray in front of me. He engaged me in conversation about my spinal history. He made good eye contact. He seemed to care and try to guide me the best way for my medical issues. He was not surgery happy. Better than many doctors I have been to.

Obtained info but this has gone on for many years and rehab hasn’t worked - and to schedule more rehab, I can’t do because of the limited days they are available:

Professional and very knowledgeable

I waited for more than 1 hour and approached the front desk twice. Apparently someone made a mistake and in the sign in sheet appeared as I was already seen

It’s hard for me to provide a rating since I actually did not “ have a visit with Mark Weinstein”. This is my second visit to FOI for this problem and both times i did not actually get to see the physician I had an appointment with. ( Both of whom were recommended by other FOI doctors.) It’s not something that ever happens at other providers unless I am notified at the time of making the appointment.

Could only see half his face. Don't think he read check in document.

He took great interest in our son and his injury! He was terrific!

Appeared tired and waiting for something he could actually do something.

Straight to the point . Explaining everything to me and my children

The Dr was very knowledgeable and professional.

I can't rate him very good because I saw his PAI was expecting to see him thank you.

I have not talk to eny one I had a appointment at 3 pm call me Bertha Taylor at 813 863 7243

He discussed the results of my MRI and Nerve conduction study, I continue to have arthritis in my back.

I understand he’s a very good surgeon and he seems very dedicated to his work.

Didn't even address the concerns about what my pain management found on CT scan and was too focused on past history to hear what is going on NOW. I've been practically bedridden for over a month and can't sit or stand for more than 30 mins. I felt like just another brick in the wall for him.

Dr. Weinstein has been very thorough during my experiences with him. He assesses the the information and explains the options and next steps.

Dr Weinstein is clearly a good spinal surgeon and I'm grateful for the successful outcome of my recent lumbar surgery.

He is the most rude and hateful person iv ever met I will Not call him a Doctor.

Could not be happier with the care I received. Thanks to Dr. Weinstein, I can enjoy life again and watch my grandchildren grow. thank you again, Dr. Weinstein.

Dr Weinstein is very relaxed and therefore makes you comfortable. Listens well and can get right to the suspected cause of the condition. Very professional.

Very personable and knowledgeable

He was behind on appointments but did address my issues.

Professional, caring, helpful, and an excellent communicator. I could not be more pleased!!

Great feedback and made a plan for care

Skilled surgeon, easy to talk to.

Dr Marc was excellent he explained everything to me and also my options

Very precise, attention to detail and friendly.

He explained my situation clearly; offered multiple options and explained each. I felt we worked together to find a solution. Dr. Mess was also very informative and took time to listen. What a breath of fresh air compared to Dr Epting

He was straight forward giving me the information about my condition. Appreciated the way he explained things so I could make an educated decision about back surgery pros and cons.

Very pleased with Dr. Weinstein, very through, nice and answered all questions.

Very thorough exam, took the time to answer all questions and explain diagnosis and plan of care. Very professional and pleasant.

Very rare to have a surgeon listen to what is important to the patient and inform them to be realistic of final expectations.

You may have to repeat all your symptoms but his work is impeccable and he does try less invasive measures first. Although he's a surgeon, he is careful to avoid surger,, if able

He put my mind at ease, didn't talk over me, helped me to evaluate all the options, and make me feel comfortable about making the decision to have surgery.

Very honest and gave me realistic prognosis.

Beyond excellence !

He listen to me and not just try to quiet me

Great Doctor, highly recommend

Dr. Weinstein is very professional and knowledgeable when it comes to spine surgery. He has done wonders for me.

Dr. Weinstein is a very skilled and knowledgeable doctor. His explanations of what needs to be done and what is expected of you as a patient.

Amazing experience with doctor Weinstein!!

Listened to all my questions, answered them with kindness, and took time to explain.

First time seeing him and he was great

Very pleased with Dr Weinstein and team!

Spoke clearly using layman’s terms. Took the time to explain what he was referring to on MRI results, what symptoms to look out for to determine if issue is progressing, not in a rush to take drastic measures if not needed.

Pleasant doctor and answered our questions, thank you

I just feel comfortable with him as my surgeon.

Dr. Weinstein sent in his ARNP. Never once did he introduce himself. The ARNP provided hands on evaluation only after requested. She was ready to dismiss me based on imaging alone. If the patient is not a candidate for surgery, this care provider is not interested in spending time with the patient.

No personality very cold more ego than talent

Your ARNP was great.

Dr. Weinstein, it was a pleasure meeting you and your P.A. Ms Tram, she was very professional. Thank you for your opinion on what you recommend i should do regarding my neck and right shoulder.

Appointment did not happen, provider didn't attempt to resolve

Dr Weinstein is a very knowledgeable and caring surgeon with a great deal of expertise and experience. I am pain free after over a year of suffering from low back and sciatica pain.. He recommended and performed non- invasive surgery with success while other surgeons had recommended more invasive surgery with fusion. I am happy and grateful that I chose Dr Weinstein to do my surgery.

I didn't see the Dr.. I seen the PA

To soon to comment

Dr. Weinstein knew exactly what I needed for surgery but knew I was not capable of having it due to my age. Steroid Injections and Radiofrequencies are all that I am capable of getting from now on.

I never saw Dr. Weinstein

Very demeaning. Degraded me. Made assumptions without knowing facts.

He was extremely dismissive and arrogant when discussing my medical situation. According to him I was the normal 60 year old man with spinal issues. I guess all the doctors I’ve seen in Texas and Georgia don’t know what their talking about I’ll definitely never allow someone with his attitude to ever provide me any healthcare.

He obviously never looked at my paperwork, which one would think he would do with a new patient.

Was not patient with me and did not explain my issues. He was fast and went to the next patient. Did not analyze my situation in details. Not satisfied with him. Please call me if you need more details.

Exceptional. ..

Always a great experience w/ Dr. W. Straight shooter, listens, highly educated & explains things well.

Gave me good advice and a way to feel better without surgery. Thank you Dr. Weinstein.

Very professional! Listen to all my concerns, and surgery was NOT his first option!!!

saw his nurse first visit with back pain, numbness rt leg. let went out on me, no warning at this first visit. his nurse took knee xray and sent me home with mri order. no back brace or anything. at home next say, leg went out again, I fell, Now I broke my shoulder and fractured of L5 (per er on 5/26/22). to make matters worse, his nurse never returned my husband's calls or mine. then, couldn't even get an mri for 3 weeks. why didn't nurse investigate why my leg went out right in her office, I fell. I should have NEVER BEEN SENT HOME with not even a brace on back or stat mri. I then had to wIt 3 weeks for the mri,. mea.nwhile I FELL, LEG WENT OUT DAY AFYER I SAW HIS NURSE, AND BROKE MY SHOULDER AND CRACKED MY BACK. STILL, HAVE NEVER SEEN DR WEINSTEIN!!!

Did not get to see Dr. Weinstein. The PA seemed knowledgeable and provided diagnosis and suggested treatment options

He made me feel like I was wasting his time on an office visit when as he said "we could have talked on the phone to avoid masks". He answered my questions but still made me feel as though my injury was no big deal.

Never saw him because his assistant Tram Pham, NP in the Brandon office was EXCELLENT! Thorough, knowledgable & caring. She is TOPS!! keep her. She looks you in the eye, takes time to answer your questions and is kind and patient

Tram Pham

Been a patient for many years, and will be a patient of Dr. Weinstein for many more. He and his staff are excellent.

was not seen by Dr, Weinstein so I cannot rate him

Not al; all friendly. I thought he was mad at me.

Dr Weinstein was very helpful. This was my first time meeting him and he made me feel at ease. Thank you Dr Weinstein.

Dr. Weinstein is very professional and knowledgeable in his field. This is the second time I have had back surgery and would recommend him to anyone. Thank You

I have seen and been treated by Dr. Weinstein on multiple occasions. Without doubt, he is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and organized physician that has treated me. I am so grateful for his care for my health.

1.It appears he's not aware of what is going on with his patient. 2. Did not explain the result of the laboratory test conducted on his patient. 3. It appears that he's not interested in seeing his patient.

I am very pleased with having had Dr Weinstein as my surgeon for two very extensive procedures. I had very good results and was able to communicate with him regarding all aspects of my treatment. Thanks to him and his staff!!

It was a wonderful experience ! Efficient office , resident was very knowledgeable and Dr . Weinstein has a great beside manner , explains issues well and utilized his short time to listen and converse without making you feel rushed . Unlike Orthopaedics of West Florida . Both treat a large volume of patients but totally different experience . I definitely would recommend to go out of your way to be treated by Dr. Weinstein.

Great Doctor

I trust him implicitly. Very to the point, which is perfect for me!

Amazing surgeon with a high level of precision. I have had 2 surgeries in 10 years both were laminectomies with fusion. There is no-one else I would trust but Dr Weinstein to perform my surgery.

It was a big waist of my time to see this doctor. Dr Weinstein told me he only does back surgery. Like if I knew one way or another that I needed or did not need back surgery. His nurse practitioner said he could give me injections on my lower back. Then he says no unless I do surgery. I have major lower back pain, they had an MRI that the Urgent care had in the system. They could have called and said you are not a candidate for Dr Weinstein. Never, even examen me, all he was interested was in surgery. Don’t need a doctor who ego is to big and can’t even examen his patient. But he will charge for telling me he can’t see me. Bet he would not pay for a car repair which the mechanic say, can’t help you, but I will still charger you telling you I can’t help you.

Dr Weinstein explained my situation clearly and answered questions so I understood. Found him very kind and helpful

To the point and excellent

miracle worker! Gave me my life back!

Dr. Weinstein patiently answered all my questions regarding symptoms specific to my condition and provided needed details for treatment.

my very first appt. with him and yet l was checked by nurse, i did ot even get to meet the doctor. i find it unprofessional.

I saw his nurse physician assistant instead of the doctor and she was excellent.

Thorough, took his time explaining, and compassionate.

Great feedback. Poor administratively. I just need my notes and results sent to MacDill AFB med group and its like pulling teeth to get it done.
