Dr. Richard Weinstein, MD

Dr. Weinstein takes time to listen to the kids he treats, and responds with empathy and common sense. Amazingly sharp and knowledgeable.

Truly terrible experience! I explained we have been having some trouble nursing and experiencing some challenges with his latch. He proceeded to tell me that nothing is wrong with him since he is gaining weight. I explained I had pain while nursing, he is nursing seven times a night, and that his top lip folds while he nurses. He talked over me explaining that latch issues wouldn't be starting now and that the issue is my body. He then explained how, "women get tired at night" and I'm not feeding him effectively. He suggested we give a bottle and stop breastfeeding all together. I asked if their office works with a lactation consultant who could help and he told me that they don't really know those people and that because the issue is my body I need to talk to my OB. He also took off his mask to take a phone call in the middle of our conversation. He made numerous sexist comments including assuming I'm uneducated because I'm a stay at home mom and then dismissed me when I corrected him
