This listing isn't a gym. Google categorizes it as a doctor's office, and every one of its five written reviews describes urology care from Dr. Philip Weintraub, not fitness training of any kind.

A Serious Complaint Alleging a Surgical Complication and Dismissive Follow-Up Care

Ray Massara's review, from September 2023, describes a serious, detailed medical complaint: he says he was treated for a bladder tumor, experienced severe post-procedure pain that he alleges was linked to a bladder perforation during the surgery, and describes what he characterizes as a dismissive response from the doctor's office when he sought help, ultimately requiring extended hospitalization elsewhere. I'd flag that this is a specific, serious allegation involving a named physician, not a vague dissatisfaction, though I'd also note it's a single patient's account of a disputed medical outcome that I can't independently verify.

A Second Complaint About Dismissive Communication

Grace Barnes's review, from October 2024, raises a separate concern: she describes feeling that her symptoms were taken seriously until she shared additional information from another doctor, after which she felt the physician became dismissive of that outside input, and describes an expensive, uncomfortable diagnostic process that ultimately found nothing conclusive.

Multiple Long-Term Patients Describing Decades of Positive Care

Several reviewers describe a starkly different, long-term experience. APWU CAL's review states Dr. Weintraub has been her urologist for over 20 years, describing him as extremely professional, well-versed in his field, and someone who explains symptoms meticulously. Michael Rogers's review credits the doctor with literally saving his life, praising his staff as professional, respectful, and friendly. Rick Storer's review, from April 2026, the most recent in this set, specifically praises a named staff member, Alexis, for going out of her way to help with appointments and insurance coordination.

Why This Matters If You're Looking for a Gym

If you found this page searching for somewhere to train, none of it applies. Every one of the five reviews describes urology care, medical procedures, or staff interactions at a doctor's office, not any fitness facility.

What's Missing

Nothing here answers a fitness question, since none of the five reviewers describe a gym. I have no way to independently verify the specific medical allegations in the more critical reviews here, so I'd treat them as one side of a disputed account rather than an established fact.

Who It's Not For

Anyone looking for a gym. Anyone hoping to find fitness training or equipment at this location, since nothing in the written record describes any.

Dr. Weintraub, has been my urologist for over 20 years. I am privileged to be one of his patients. He is an extremely professional and is very well-versed in his field of urology and he has completed successfully surgery on me with no complaints. He is well mannered and treats me as a patient with professionalism. He explains all symptoms very meticulously to my satisfaction. And he will continue to be my urologist. Dr. Weintraub ROCKS!

Medical. Gaslighting. The sad part is that my symptoms were taken seriously until I saw Dr. Weintraub and shared with him some extra information I had received about my condition. Not only did he seem annoyed when I shared the information, but he then told me that, if that information (from another doctor) was even true, he would just ignore it because it wasn't a big enough problem for him to treat. After going through the very expensive and painful ringer of cystoscopy and CT scan, no wonder they're telling me that there's "nothing wrong with me" but that they want to see me for a follow-up "just in case" my symptoms ease up. Riddle me this: if you claim there's nothing wrong (after seeing there was something wrong), why would you request a follow-up? Do you expect the symptoms to be miraculously resolved after six months of doing nothing? UPDATE: Now I know that the follow-up was to tell me off. It was evident that Dr. Weintraub knew nothing of my case, including my symptoms or the reason my GP referred me to his office. All he could "remember" was that he had done a cysto on me (probably because he was holding the paper that said so.) To his credit, he did share the results of my cysto/CT scan but, when I brought up a result that correlated with some newly learned family history, he brushed it off as mere coincidence. He then asked if my non-specified symptoms were better and, when I reported that my symptoms were based on multiple years of not-so-great urinalysis results and my urine looking not clear (which has persisted even as I gave a urine sample to their office just before this conversation that had debris in it), he told me I should stop looking at my urine, implied that I was paranoid, and sent me on my way. Not surprised but, wow, what a total waste of time.

This review is for Dr. Philip Weintraub. READ EVERY ONE STAR REVIEW. THEY ARE ACCURATE. CANCEL YOUR APPOINTMENT RIGHT NOW!!! Dr. Weintraub diagnosed me with a very slow growing small cancerous tumor in my bladder. Standard procedure is to go to St. Joseph's hospital to remove the tumor and flush the bladder out with chemotherapy and then drain the chemo out of my bladder. While fully awake a nurse filled my bladder with Mitomycin (the chemo drug). The pain was indescribable. The nurse acted like I was being a drama queen but said she would get Dr. Weintraub to come see me. Hours went by and he never showed up or even bothered to call. I went home in horrible pain. The next day I called his office and his nurse told me "Don't worry it will pass" I could not stand the pain one more second and my wife drove me to his office. The office could care less about my situation and I insisted I see the doctor. He was positive that this could not possibly be caused by the procedure I had. He basically washed his hands of me. I went across the street to St. Josephs emergency room. I was admitted into the hospital for 24 days. Put on heavy doses of a very strong IV opiate drug dilaudid. After numerous cystoscopies, colonoscopies and a myriad of procedures Dr. Weintraub and a slew of doctors were all dumbfounded. Again everyone denied this had anything to do with my surgery. Until one doctor slipped and mentioned my bladder had been perforated. The hospital and Dr, Weintraub had done their best to hide this fact. I realized that St. Joseph hospital and Dr, Weintraub had flat out lied to me. They just charged my MPIPHP insurance for weeks and lined their own pockets while completely ignoring a human in agony. I transferred to UCLA in Santa Monica and in three days they had done all the tests necessary. They told me what had happened. During surgery Dr. Weintraub had perforated my bladder and when the chemotherapy drug was instilled into my bladder it leaked out into my pelvic floor and like an acid it completely burned everything it touched. The UCLA doctors said there was nothing to do now. The damage had been done. Go home and heal. I was sent home and was completely bedridden unable to stand upright for over a year. The pain of your insides being burned so bad cannot be put into words. I was on a transdermal patch of FENTANYL for over 18 months while all my nerves were regrowing. This ordeal forced me into an early retirement. The withdrawal from the fentanyl was almost as bad as the pain from the burns. Medical procedures can have many complications. A compassionate doctor will really earn their money when things don't go as planned. I cannot fathom just shrugging your shoulders and walking away like this is no big deal. Because of Dr. Weintraub's dismissive attitude to patients suffering I no longer trust any doctor. Hopefully some day you Dr. Weintraub will need some help from a medical professional. When that day comes I hope you get a doctor as uncaring and unsympathetic as you have been to your patients.
