Weinstein Jonathan, MD

This is not a review on Dr. Weinstein but rather his staff and his prices. I find Dr. Weinstein to be sweet and caring once you get past the no eye contact issue.
His staff however is rude and really just don’t seem to care about the patients. I figured I’ll deal with it, not a big deal. I was a cash payer until I was able to find individual insurance. I ended up paying up to $ 600 at some visits that’s a bit ridiculous. Then I got my PPO Scott & White insurance and was told right away that I need to pay $ 400 at my every visit until 1 month prior to giving birth. I ask why and I’m told that’s just what the office manager says. So I’m going to pay almost $ 800/​month including insurance that makes no sense. I called around to see if this is a normal thing, just to find out that the staff at Dr. Weinstein’s office were trying to collect the deductible + 20% for the hospital where I would be giving birth, not my my prenatal care and/​or co-​pays. They never explained this to me either.
I now go to a practice in the same neighborhood where I pay my 20% it comes down to $ 116/​month and will be paying the deductible and hospital costs to the hospital directly.

If you are looking for a low intervention birth in a hospital setting then Dr. Weinstein’s practice is for you. I agree that he might not be the touchy feely sort of doctor but he generally cares and Tara, his NP, meets that need :). Dr. Weinstein must work round the clock. He has his regular office hours, then delivers all this own patients and answers his own after hours calls. Dr. Weinstein delivered my baby on Friday afternoon. He came in to check on me and circumcise our son on Sat, and then he was also there to follow up on Sunday. You have to appreciate that sort of dedication.

Do not go to this clinic! Absolutely terrible! I had an apt with the nurse practitioner for a wellness visit and was charged $ 75 for asking a question about breastfeeding. I called the office and sent an email to the office manager and was told that asking questions is not part of the wellness exam. I have never been charged for asking related questions by other clinics. I saw that other ratings on here also mentioned getting charged for asking questions. I was a first time patient, and will not be returning. I wish I would have read the reviews before making my apt.

I went to Dr. Weinstein when I became pregnant with my second child. The midwife I had previously used at Baylor downtown was no longer practicing and he was recommended as a supporter of low-​intervention and natural childbirth, which is hard to find in the DFW area.
I had a great experience – he was everything he was promised to be. I liked his staff and Tara, his NP, is fantastic.
The aspect of his practice that I appreciated the most is that Dr. Weinstein takes his own call. This is VERY unique in OB/​Gyn. Unless your baby is born during one of the two vacations he takes a year (and feel free to ask him when they will be – he was open about it and has a backup OB on call), HE will be the one to deliver your baby. That is incredible dedication. I felt very reassured knowing exactly who would be making any hard decisions should my labor and birth have complications. Happily, that was not the case, but it was reassuring nonetheless.
There are two things I will mention, though:
–More than once I had a very long wait for my appointment – 45 minutes to an hour. I understand this is the nature of OB, but when I had to be back at work, it created some stressful situations. It happened often enough that I wonder if it could get a little better.
–Dr. Weinstein is not your average warm & fuzzy, schmoozing Southern OB/​Gyn. He is very direct and has a bit of an irreverent sense of humor. This did not bother me at all, but I can see how this would be surprising or offputting to prospective patients not expecting this. Check out his Facebook page – if his posts there don’t bother you, it will be fine.

I am 49 and felt I was not getting the answers I needed from my OB/​GYN so turned to the internet for great reviews for a new doctor. That is where my first contact with Dottie and Jeanie happened and an appointment was arranged for me to see Tara quickly. Tara completely understood my issue, offered solutions and Dr. Weinstein came into the room to consult with me even though I was not on his schedule that day. We scheduled a pre-​op visit where he talked to me at length about my upcoming procedure then the next day I had the procedure. The whole office from the front desk to Nydia, Tara, Dr. Weinstein and everyone in between was compassionate and professional. They are a breath of fresh air to me and I am grateful to have found them. He is able to give personal attention and I love the fact that he has a solo practice where I am not just a number. Kudos to Dr. Weinstein and staff:)

This entire office is amazing! They treat you like family… Not a paycheck like so many doctors out there. Without Dr. Weinstein I would not have my beautiful baby boy.
Dr. W is a genius, trust me not all doctors are competent in Texas. A previous doctor did so much damage to my body I became infertile. Dr. Weinstein fixed everything. I am forever grateful to Dr. Weinstein, Tara, and Nydia.
And to the review from Benz… I’m sorry you had a bad experience, he was probably being paged to the hospital for an emergency, which takes priority to a consult. He is always there for his patients when they need him. You should be thankful he’s so dedicated and puts his patients first.

Many doctors in the metroplex claim to be supportive of natural childbirth and letting the body do what it needs to do in order to achieve this, but often when it comes down to it, they fail, utilizing intervention which often lead to more interventions. This is where Dr. Weinstein is different. My obstetrical care throughout my pregnancy was amazing, never did I wait to be seen. The office staff was very supportive and always very friendly. My delivery was not as planned, but I never felt that anything was out of my control. My water broke at 32 weeks 6 days. We did everything we could to extend gestation, and made it to 34 weeks 5 days. My labor was tough due to underlying circumstances but I had choice in everything we did in order to get my little one here safely. I was never pushed toward any intervention, despite the fact that I eventually requested pitocin. Despite the fact that my little guy ended up in the NICU, Dr. Weinstein did everything in his power to allow this to be as normal a birth as possible, allowing for delayed clamping, dad to cut the cord, and placing baby on my tummy before the NICU team whisked him away. Thank you for making this experience the best it could possibly be (from someone who has had and prefers home birth).

Based on the reviews here, I felt I had to include my experience with Dr. Weinstein as well. His office staff was wonderful, he was not.
I saw him as a new patient in an attempt find a new obgyn (as we were fairly new to the area). My husband and I, were looking at growing our family and I wanted to meet with this doctor before using him as my routine obgyn.
I’m glad I did. Not because it was a good experience, because it certainly wasn’t. He was cold and in an obvious rush during my very brief appointment with him. I realize doctors are very busy people and I was his last appt of the day. However, I waited patiently to see him, as he was running late, (which I was okay with as I didn’t have to rush back to work).
However, when I finally did see Dr Weinstein, he spoke to me as if I was bothering him or he was too busy to answer my pregnancy related questions. (I am a high risk patient so had some obvious concerns). We only spoke for a max of 7 minutes before he had to leave. It was disappointing to be talked down to by a doctor when he’s supposed to be the physician and I the patient. And I had actually left work early and paid a copay for this «consult»! Lesson learned… I didn’t make that mistake twice!
I’m glad others who have posted have had good experiences with Dr Weinstein. I however, want to lend my voice to those who didn’t…as I’m sure I’m not the only one.
The silver lining: Due to a horrible visit with Dr Weinstein, I continued my search and now have found an amazing, kind, caring & compassionate obgyn at Frisco Obstetrics & Gynecology right down the road! Perfect timing as my husband and I just found out we are pregnant with our first child! I am so thankful it will be this group of physicians and their wonderful staff that will help my husband and I bring our first born into this world! I guess I have Dr Weinstein to thank for that strangely enough!

I highly recommend Dr. Weinstein and his staff to anyone who wants to avoid a c-​section or have a natural childbirth, which was SO important to me. Too many doctors are so quick to induce you and cut you open. My labor was 36 hours long and I think any other doctor would have sectioned me, but Dr Weinstein is very patient and lets you actually labor for as long as your body needs (And as long as the baby is not in danger). Im 4’11″ and delivered a 8lb 10oz BIG baby boy. During my appointments made me feel vey at ease with everything and answered all my questions thoroughly, without fear mongering. I drove 30 minutes from my home in Euless just to be able to have him as my doctor, which says a lot knowing I would have to make that drive during active labor. The office staff were always really helpful and knew who I was when I came in for my appointments. The hospital, Baylor Frisco, where he delivers is also absolutely amazing.

Dr. Weinstein was our savior when we had a nonviable pregnancy. We had seen multiple doctors before finally reaching Dr. Weinstein, all of them miserable experiences in themselves. However, Dr. Weinstein immediately made us feel at ease with a less than ideal situation. I had never had a male OBGYN and was quite uncomfortable with the idea of having one, but I am SO glad we found Dr. Weinstein! He was extremely empathetic towards our situation and gave us a lot of helpful information. He also talked with us about our various options (which is funny considering every other doctor made it seem like there was no other option outside of a D&C) and allowed us to make our own informed decision. I will be going to Dr. Weinstein from now on and hope to one day be pregnant again so he can deliver our first child.

Dr. Weinstein is the best in his field. He has delivered all of our children with a drive for excellence and a heart of gold. Dr. Weinstein has a balanced approach and educates his patients on all aspects of their care. He truly cares about his patients.

I’m not sure where to begin singing the praises of the amazing Dr. Weinstein! From the first visit he was incredibly knowledgeable and clear. When I told him I wanted a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) not only did he not tell me no, like 2 other docs had… he began explaining a plan, risks and benefits, statistics and more. He couldn’t promise anything, but we would try. As the pregnancy progressed, he managed my chronic high blood pressure, polyhydramnios (extra amniotic fluid), turned the baby from breech to head down with an external cephalic version, all the while keeping a close eye on baby and I since I had had 2 previous C-​sections. I was not exactly a model patient with all these issues. At so many points he could have told me to just have a c section, but he knew how important VBAC was to me, he never gave up on my crazy dream of wanting to deliver my baby vaginally.
on Saturday I delivered with Dr. Weinstein during the most amazing, wonderful, perfect vaginal birth ever!!! And my baby was a whopping 11lbs 2 oz. Yes, eleven!
Dr. Weinstein has a great sense of humor and sarcasm that I appreciated so much. He always listened and heard what I had to say, and responded with real answers, not always what I wanted to hear, but realistic. We developed a great rapport during the last 10 months and I’m kind of sad I won’t get to chat with him every week anymore!
I also have to mention, I am a former OB nurse. I’ve met a ton of OB docs in my career and Dr. Weinstein is special in so many ways. He still believes in letting your body do its thing. He is willing to go the extra mile – like turning a breech baby, allowing VBACs even after more than 1 c section, and even vaginally birthing twins. Because he knew I was a nurse, he sometimes told me about interesting cases he’d worked on over the years, and his experiences were amazing and inspiring! He’s done it all, but he always puts mom and baby’s safety first, of course!
The staff in the office was always cheerful and helpful and I LOVED that I almost never had to wait! It was rare to not go right back.
Even if I hadn’t gotten the VBAC, I would still be talking about how wonderful Dr. Weinstein is! The VBAC was a bonus! Maybe I should have another baby just so we can do something amazing together again!!!
