Monica Osofsky Weinberg, MD

Eh, I’ve had better, and I’ve had worse doctors.
I have only visited Dr. Weinberg once for an annual physical. Since this was my first visit, she took a more extensive history of me. I booked the first appointment of the day and arrived 10 minutes early to fill out paper work. Dr. Weinberg still called me in fifteen minutes late, annoying, but not a huge deal at this point.
Her mannerism/​bedside manner was brusque when I finally was brought to her office. While taking my history, she would cut-​off my responses to her questions mid sentence and begin asking me the next question. I felt very rushed, which frustrated me since she was the one that was running behind (with no excuse since I was the first patient of the day).
After taking my history (and basically forcing me into getting a Whooping Cough vaccine that I’m pretty sure I received when I was younger but she refused to believe), she brought me to the exam room and told me to put on the paper dress. Then I waited. And waited. Fifteen minutes later she came in flustered and (again) rushing, stabbed me with the whoop vaccine, and then proceeded to ask me more questions about my health. I’m active, eat a plant based diet, and cancer/​major diseases don’t run in my family, so this part usually goes by quick for me, but she really wanted to find something wrong… I guess I’ll say she’s thorough in this department. She finally settled on my eyes. Although my vision is ²⁰⁄₂₀ (just had my DL renewed and had to have an eye exam) she claimed my eyes will probably become a problem for me very soon because, quote «I’m getting up there in age». Um, I was born in the mid-80’s, I’m no spring chicken, but really insulting! Anyways, she printed out a referral for an optometrist and sent me on my way.
I won’t elaborate much on how terrible and insensitive the phlebotomist was (big ouch) since she has little control over that, but the overall experience kind of sucked. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t love going to my dentist or gyno, but both are personable, caring providers which makes a huge difference. I guess my search for a competent AND compassionate GP shall continue…

Took me a while to find her on Unilocal: Her last name is now Weinberg.
I made an appointment with Dr. Weinberg at MHMG at the recommendation of a friend, and I am really pleased to have her as my GP. The doctors at MHMG come to get you and do everything themselves, which cuts out all of the waiting that happens at other offices, and allows you to have good one-​on-​one time with your doctor. Dr. Weinberg is extremely efficient and very thorough, and she’s also very pleasant and personable.
I’m the daughter of a nurse, so I really appreciate proactive health care. When my blood work indicated slight anemia, she went through a battery of tests to make sure it wasn’t being caused by something serious, even though my family has a history of a lower baseline. All of the tests came back fine, but she referred me to a hematologist just to be completely sure that it’s a hereditary quirk and nothing else. I should also note that every time I’ve had blood work, it’s within a matter of a day or so that she calls me to discuss my results. Definitely recommended to anyone looking for a female GP in the city.
