Dr. Raz Winiarsky

I met Raz Winiarsky through a referral when I hurt my ankle running in the city this summer. I rarely — I mean, never — deal with injuries myself so I was overwhelmed and didn’t know what to do. He seriously came to the rescue.
Aside from being super personable, Winiarsky was direct, clear, and detailed with what I should be doing in regards to my ankle. He was able to diagnose it quickly and tell me how to treat it – all in order to heal up quickly. I really appreciated his time in handling my injury. I was able to get the swelling down within a week or two and to get back to normal. Many thanks to him.

Made an appoitment for my husband for 22jan14 then brooklyn premier calls to reschedule for the 27^th of jan at 1130 2 see dr raz winiarsky the wait was from 1105a-​215p and no doctor. This place needs to close no manners, it’s dirty, people are rude and most important they make you wait for long lengths of time and to not even see a doctor. This sucks kids coming out of school how cud anyone even be so inconsiderate to not have the office together for people who have responsibilities by 230 300pm. Thats wat appointments are for. DO NOT GO 2 Brooklyn Première Orthopedics at 1414 Newkirk ave u will be dissatisfied and disappointed u won’t even see the doctor. Smh thumbs way down

I think this is my first-​ever review on Unilocal.And I love Unilocal — though I never review anything. So this should be sign to please take my review seriously.
This office (Brooklyn Premier Orthopedics) is a mess. Let’s employ a severe business model to healthcare. well, sure. This place isn’t run by people who care about your health or well-​being. When a doctor is booking 85+ patients a day and has people waiting 1.5−2 hrs just to get 5 minutes with the «doctor,» that is a red flag already. I understand when a doctor is booked completely and you have to wait a long time to see them — and I have been in this position — but it was well worth it unlike this.
Winiarsky seems like a nice person, or atleast he tries, but he’s obviously overworking himself and probably went into medicine for the wrong reasons. The only nice thing about this place is the really kind medical assistant and front desk girls (who are looking really professional wearing white coats, really?). I eventually saw Winiarsky after my wait and spent about 5 minutes with him before he told me he would do surgery on me and to let the front desk know. I let them know, they gave me a card of the surgery coordinator, and told me she will contact me.
And so I waited… one week, no call. Sure, understandable, they’re busy. Two weeks, ok let me call them and see if I’m even in their horizon, leave voice message to call me back. Three weeks, no call back, leave another message. Four weeks, no call back.
I understand this doctor may have a booked schedule with the 85+ patients he sees a day but it would be really convenient to have someone on the staff notify the patients whether or not a surgery is being scheduled or not because this isn’t something a person can take lightly and sit and wait. That, in a nutshell, is how they will treat you. Avoid this doctor and this «medical office» at all costs. The other doctor, Scott Weiss, is also a nice fellow but it isn’t worth the wait. If you are only going to this doctor because he accepts your government-​subsidized insurance, do me a favor and shop around a bit more because there are WAY better doctors out there.
ALSO, please do something about the screeching secretary from the Physical Therapy desk. Not only do you have to wait 1.5 hrs to see a disheartening doctor but your ears have to endure the sound of this secretary yelling at every person and the poor young assistant she has.

The staff at bportho’s check-​in are caustic & rude. The waiting room is filthy with garbage strewn about. There seems to be a general lack of organization with the staff nor does it seem there is any appreciation for patients or their time here.
My appointment with Dr. Raz Winiarsky was for 2pm today from a referral. I got here 15 min early to fill out the usual forms that are typical for new patients. At 4:30 pm a nurse/​staff called my name to inform that there were still two patients ahead of me and would I like to reschedule because they anticipated closing before I could be seen.
Needless to say, I requested my X-​rays back and left. What a Joke! My advice, GO SOMEPLACE ELSE! ={

We heard he was a good ortho surgeon but never found out. Waited 1 hour and 45 minutes before we (my husband, the patient and myself) were sent into his examining room and then another 15 minutes at which point we walked out. Your surgeon needs to partner with you on taking care of your infirmity. Busy doctors we understand, but a two-​hour wait is insulting and shows a total disregard for the patient. The thought of post-​op visits with this person made our decision to walk out clear.
