We did and I was not too happy. My son was 5 and diagnoses were ADHD or mood disorder (try weren't sure). He gave us ADHD meds - we tried 4 different kinds and they all made him more aggressive. He didn't really lead us from there - we went to see Dr. Novello at Ashburn Paychologucal and he rediagnosed, gave us different class of meds and has been a dream. We also use Dr. O (at same practice) for therapy and he has been amazing with my son.

Dr. Weiner has been amazing for me to work with. I'm 33 an dealing with alcoholism and bipolar. He is the first doctor that has effectively diagnosed and treated me with the correct meds. I've seen a lot of doctors along the way and therefore, do a lot of "testing" in the first sessions with a new mental health professional. And by testing I mean, seeing if they know their stuff or not. I've never met a professional
like Dr. Weiner. I feel like he can see into the mechanics of my brain and he doesn't let me run off on tangents. I found a therapist in tandem with him works best. I can unload my day to day on her (talk therapy) and with Dr. Weiner, we can focus on the medical/chemistry side of my mental health issues.

I do not refute any previous reviews as my situation is totally different than theirs. I did want to offer up my experience to adults with addiction and/or bipolar - dual diagnosis such as me. After looking over his appearances on TV, it seems to be that his expertise is really heavy on understanding bipolar disorder. He's expensive but, he has been the missing piece to my finding a steady baseline for my emotional health through medication. Thanks for reading and best of luck to all!
