He attended medical school at New York College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed residency training within the Northwell Health system.

While his focal interest is the upper extremity, he is also skilled in treating patients with general orthopedic concerns such as fracture care, sports-related injuries, and arthritic conditions.

Dr. Weiner is a proponent of shared decision-making with his patients. His attention to a patient’s needs, preferences, and lifestyle helps guide and optimize care. “In working with a patient, we are able to devise a treatment plan that will maximize recovery while minimizing inconvenience,” he says.
