Weinert Carl R Jr MD

I was extremely impressed with Dr. Weinert and his office staff. Dr. Weinert was patient, kind and gentle with my infant granddaughter. He took the time to explain everything and to reassure us by answering each question and concern we had. I felt my son, his wife and my granddaughter were treated with respect and kindness. He is a very knowledgeable doctor.

We saw another doctor in the pediatric practice (Rosenfeld) and were EXTREMELY disappointed by his arrogant and unhelpful manner. He didn’t want to listen to a word we had to say concerning our son’s issues. His word was law. Our son was getting ingrown toenails very frequently causing him tremendous pain. He is special needs and nonverbal. Dr. Rosenfeld said he wouldn’t remove the nail bed because our son might not like the aesthetic results of that procedure…
Moving on… we switched to doctor Weinert and have been much more impressed, he will at least listen to your concerns. He is still conservative but for better reasons. Overall we feel he genuinely cares about our son and his progress. The office is clean and efficient, we never have to wait long.

I have been seen by many doctors throughout my life, as I was born disabled and although many doctors have been efficient enough, they don’t always listen, truly listen. Here everyone is so kind and caring. Lindsay has true compassion, what more can you ask for, from a health care professional.

Dr. Weinert is brilliant (even looks like Einstein).
Treated my 13-​yr-​old son’s broken shoulder WITHOUT SURGERY!!!
Complete Proximal Humeral Fracture at Growth Plate
(«ice cream cone» break via superman dive-​tackle, football)
Newport Beach Urgent Care Dr. said straight to ER for surgery!
Luckily Urgent Care Dr. emailed xray to OC Adult & Pediatric Orthopedic Specialists.
Dr. Weinert reviewed xray & change of plan! Sent home in sling w/​pain meds. Sleep sitting upright (difficult), see Weinert in AM. Long night…
TREATMENT:
Next AM, Dr. Weinert applied a «gravity» cast to my son’s forearm
(gently pulls downward on shoulder).
Had to remain upright & sleep upright in a recliner for a couple weeks
(bit difficult initially but got easier).
So worth it! No surgery. 100% recovery & full range of motion. Simply amazing.
Cleared for sports in about 4 months.
Gravity cast for this injury is common worldwide, but not in U.S. Face it, surgery is more exciting and PAYS WAY MORE $$$. No wonder U.S. surgeons lack experience in highly effective non-​surgical techniques.

One of the worst customer service experiences at a doctor’s office I have ever received and most importantly, I do not trust his assessment of my daughter.
It took him 1 hour and 20 minutes to even see my daughter for her appointment. Then when he finally came in (no apology or explanation), he spent less then 2 minutes in the room assessing her. Before leaving the room he said that if I had any further concerns I could read about it myself and gave me a half sheet of paper with a few sentences on it. He was very short with us and had a horrible bedside manner.

All I can say is that Dr. Weinert is a great Doctor! He met my son last year 2013, 1 month after he was born due to being born polydactly. We agreed to do surgery when he turned 1 year old since he was just a newborn, it was not recommended for him to be put under anestesia. Dr. Weinert explained everything and gave us really good advice. Made my husband and I feel more at ease, and was able to answer all our questions and concerns. Surgery was done April 2014 after my son turned 1 year old. All went well, and we are very happy with the surgery and his expertise. Highly recommend Dr. Weinert!!! Surgery was done at CHOC.

Dr. Weinert needs to retire. I took my 4 year old son in to be seen for a tumor in his shoulder. I recently lost a baby in November so I was a little apprehensive to share my medical information with him but I felt the factors that affected my stillborn baby would be relevant in my son’s medical treatment.
Dr. Weinert didn’t sympathize with me at all. He was not kind or helpful. He pulled out a dusty book (nearly as old as he is – and if he seriously still uses books that old then maybe he is out of date) and asked me what I saw in my son’s x-​ray.
He said he didn’t know if my son’s tumor was an osteochondroma but he didn’t want to do any further testing. He said it could be cancerous but we should just «wait and see». He wanted me to come back in 3 months. When I asked him some questions regarding my sons bones and potential things I should consider — he walked out of the room. Yes, he walked out of our appointment. When I was checking out he told me that I could never come back to his office to see him or any of the other doctors in his staff.
He said he would refuse my son medical care and treatment.
After losing my baby 3 months ago I didn’t need Dr. Weinert to be soo heartless and chauvenistic with me. If you are a woman and you care about your child then don’t see him because he is old fashion and hardly up to date with his practice.

I took my son to Dr. Winert in 2009 because he was born with an extra digit on his right hand. After going through an emotional roller coaster at LA Children’s hospital, I need a second opinion. I also needed someone that wasn’t going to treat my son like a number as they did at LA Children’s can you say NO bed side manner. I was a first time mom and well after my first experience, I no longer wanted to go through his surgery. But my friend recommended Dr. Winert to me, I made my apt and WOW what a difference. The staff was very friendly, he right away ordered xrays (LA didn’t even do that and they right away diagnosed him) well the Xray tech was right there is Dr. Winert’s office. Dr. Winert listened to my concerns, my fears and he put me at ease. He walked me through the procedure and I was greatful that he didn’t show my pictures of what my son would be going through like at LA Children’s. Seeing pictures of a little hand being pinned down literally isn’t the image you want at all. The day of my son’s surgery everything went as planned his surgery was a little longer but he made sure to send a nurse out to let me know. The follow up and the removal of my son’s cast went perfect. I highly recommend Dr. Winert and staff, I am very greatful for them and what they had to offer.

Dr. Weinert is just awesome. i went in to see him with my newborn who was just 2 days old and needed treatment for clubfoot. Dr. Weinert took his time to explain the problem and the procedure to us. The staff is very nice and friendly as well. With all the emotions i was going through it was very comforting to have nice people treat my daughter… i am also very confident in his skills in treating my daughters club foot.

I took my toddler to see Dr. Weinert. The staff is friendly. This office is next to CHOC, and they have an in house xray, which is convenient. The xray tech was great calming my 2 year old and getting him to lie still. Dr. Weinert is knowledgeable. They also have a satellite office in Irvine.
