Weg Arnold MD

Another terrible experience with the front office staff. This time because they err’ed in taking notes about my prescription. I had to call 4 times to finally get them to continue for a month. I was told since it didn’t make next years appointment I am no longer a patient (really?) and also rudely slammed the phone when I’m asked for a copy of my physical records (send a request in writing). Never had that happen with any doctors office. I m sorry but I think the review praising the staff was in my opinion written by the staff possibly Claudia since she is the most uncouth of them all.

What a staff. Dr. Weg is extremely compassionate. He’s been tending to my wife and mine medical needs for more than 20 years. I consider him a true friend in the family. His staff consisting of Claudia, Ana, and Sandy is amazing. That Claudia is a sweetheart. Best doctor in Queens, and probably the whole city.

I was the youngest patient at Dr. Weg’s office by approximately forty years. That doesn’t really factor into my decision to use a doctor, but Dr. Weg seemed to have little connection to my generation and was unable to accurately advise me regarding a medication I was considering taking. In fact, he rudely declared «I didn’t know it would be THAT type of visit» in response to a medical question. His office is impossibly difficult to reach (expect to hold for long periods of time or receive no answer at all when you call). I would not recommend Dr. Weg to anyone. I find it hard to believe his client-​base is so large, but it seems to comprise of people he’s worked with for decades. Perhaps back then his office wasn’t such a travesty.

STAY AWAY!!! Don’t believe these high marks. They fail to reveal the problem that starts with Dr. Weg from the top down. He detaches himself from the staff and plays innocent to the extreme wait time and horribly rude front office secretary named Claudia. I waited over 3 hours for my appt. and was on time. He apologizes, but fails to ever address the issue. With that being said this a problem then that starts with Dr. Weg. People arrived hours after me, but were seen right away. I’m guessing they were part of his specialty patient pool. This leads to the other issue. Dr. Weg is a specialist and yet he also wants to be a primary care physician which is outside his focus. This is something that is actually frowned upon in the medical community. Ask any doctor in family practice or internal medicine and they would agree, Dr. Weg should stick to his specialty and stop trying to fill in his schedule with patients whom he treat secondary. I chose Dr. Weg without the knowledge that he was a specialist. Now that I know how he instructs his staff to treat his non-​specialty patients, I will not be going to him for treatment anymore.

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Weg’s wonderful practice since 1994, and we are not only incredibly grateful for his excellence, knowledge and extreme caring of our health and well being now for the last 22 years, but Dr. Weg is also a Mensch of the highest order. Caring about his patients is a calling for him, and whenever we have needed his guiding hand[s] he has always been there for us.Dr.Weg has and always has had excellent nurses and a very caring staff led by Claudia, who is herself a wealth of medical information. In no uncertain terms I strongly recommend Dr. Weg who quite rightly is also listed in Castle Connolly the book that lists top Doctors and lists him for his excellence as a Gastroenterologist.

Great doctor. Barely competent administrative staff. May not be worth the aggravation.

We went to see Doctor Weg despite the fact that the reviews said he made you wait a long time to see him. Because the reviews said he was a good doctor, we were willing to wait. After waiting about three hours, he finally saw us. He was really annoyed with me because my son (the patient) forgot something important to say to him (in regards to why he was being seen). After a few minutes, I realized the meter was expiring for the third time. I wanted to go put more quarters in the meter; then, he turns to his secretary and says «look at this one» and made a criticism about me not wanting to get a ticket. In the few minutes that it took to put quarters in the meter, he had already completed the examination. So I told the secretary «I had questions to ask him,» and she said «He is already done with you. You have a prescription. Just give me the name of the pharmacy.» I asked which kind of medication did he prescribe. The secretary respond «Lady, I am not the doctor.» Thus, i could not see the doctor or get an answer from her either. The only thing I found to be true about the reviews is that he makes you wait a long time to see him. He and his secretary are arrogant, rude, and unprofessional. We will never go back to there.

1) you will wait an obscene amount of time and the staff is a bit brusque.
2)scheduling an appointment can be difficult and frustrating. (long, multiple holds etc. no respect for your time etc.)
3) once you are in the room with him, he is patient, attentive and very good at what he does. Never feel rushed, great doctor.

It’s very difficult to get an appointment with him but once you’re «in», he’s one of the most thoughtful and respectful doctors around.

A wonderful physician, great diagnostic skills, compassionate, concerned– you may wait for him — but you’ll never find a better doctor to take care of you and know who you are and care! The last of what the true meaning of what being a physician is! Worth the wait!

Dr Weg has treated myself and other members of my family for many years. He is an incredible diagnostician in addition to being a caring and compassionate physican. There is always prompt follow up after a visit. Test results are telephoned to patients and a follow up call made after a medical issue. I always feel that I am in good hands with Dr. Weg and that he is truly commited to his patients and to his profession.

I have been a patient of Dr. Weg for almost twenty five years. I hate the long wait, but i do it because it is worth the wait. Arnold weg is a mensch, a good man, a great physician, a compassionate giver of his attention and care, and i hope after all these years i can tryly be honest enough to admit that he is one of the finest doctrors i have even known, He is one of the great «finds» in my life. I have been lucky. A great family, a great life, and i have my physician, Dr. Weg, in my corner. He has come to my rescue many times, and that goes for my sister’s family, as well as several other relatives. I have been blessed. He is a find.

Dr. Weg is a really good doctor.
If you are looking for convenience in a doctor, there are probably less busy doctors that will accommodate you better. But if you want a really smart man who cares about people, and knows his medicine, Dr. Weg is your man.
Speaking from experience.

I called Dr. Weg’s office and was told that Dr. had time during his afternoon schedule and could see me right away (while I found this odd considering they said that appointments were made up 8 months in advance) I agreed. I told the person over the phone that it would take me a minimum of 30 minutes to get to the Queens office from Midtown. Despite this, the staff told me that the Dr was in with someone and had one patient waiting; He could take me within the 30 minutes it took me to get there. Rearranging my afternoon appointments I made my way to Queens. Upon arriving I was told that 2 people were now ahead of me and that it would be 20 minutes before he could see me. I proceeded to wait, HOWEVER, 45 minutes later there was still 1 patient ahead of me. This was a WASTE of my time and couldn’t wait any longer. Not to mention the majority of the patients are geriatric. Please don’t waste your time I’m sure there is a more respectful Doctor and Staff in NY. I’m continuing my search.
