Weidner, James R, Md - Cornerstone Pediatrics

I can't believe some of the negative reviews that I have just read. We had to switch practices away from Cornerstone about 1 year ago, b/c of insurance reasons. We are changing insurances and will be returning to Cornerstone. The practice that we have been with has been adequate, but does not in any way compare to Cornerstone and the staff there. When I gave my children the choice to stay with our current practice or return to Cornerstone, they didn't even hesitate to let me know how they felt. They are so happy to be going back. And honestly, so am I. We are familiar with some of the staff b/c they came from our former pediatrician who retired, but I saw the way they treat all of the patients and families. I never had to wait for a sick appt. at Cornerstone until my daughter's eardrum ruptured, like at our present pediatrician. If you are concerned about something, they will see you immediately. And I can't say enough about the doctors there. Dr. Weidner is excellent and so is Dr. Lopes (and my kids love her!). I think that the vaccine issue has some people a little clouded in their judgement. And I in no way ever got the impression that are slaves to the pharmaceutical reps. I know that Dr. Weidner has done extensive research on the vaccine issue and I trust his judgement, plus the medical evidence is just not there. I am sure that there are other practices that will accommodate anti-vaccine families (hopefully not a lot though). Pros: Friendly & caring nurses and excellent physicians Cons: none, except a little far from my house, but worth the drive more

Cornerstone Pediatrics should be the norm for other pediatrician offices. After leaving NJ I have not found any pediatricians who are as caring and compassionate as them. My family misses them terribly! We hope they all have a wonderful holiday season! Pros: Caring and Compassionate Cons: They are in NJ & we now live in Idaho! more

Since we have no recourse to delete unfair, inflammatory, negative comments from unhappy patients, we must respond to the following comment by Holly M. Her children were former patients years ago. She is a vigorous anti-vaccine advocate. Like others such as her, she speaks of that which she does not know. Pros: small, friendly, great staff Cons: we only have one location! more

This is what this practice is all about. Educated parents are not welcome. This practice has their head in the sand and they like it that way. These pharma trained robots, have a one- size fits all mentality. Experts with the prescription pad and the needle and that is about all. Pros: Parking Cons: Blind and Deaf Doctors more
