My Mom went to Community Medical Center for a stroke she had where she met Wetstein. Wetstein came in for around 3 minutes to tell my mom that she needed a loop recorder. Wetstein ordered she should not eat the day of surgery. The next day Wetstein came in at 5pm for around 3 minutes to say she didn't need the surgery because the other doctor told him so. She has diabetes and went 14 hours total without eating. She had no insulin the day of surgery and her sugar ended up going too high.

We ended up getting a bill for $1,000 for which he claims he had to fill out paperwork and look over reports. We thought the bill wasn't appropriate and didn't have the money to pay it otherwise. He was out of network from Blue Cross Blue Shield and I have no idea why he was allowed to come in to visit my mom in the first place. He ends up suing us along with others the day of court and he won.

Other reviewers on other websites have similar experiences to ours. He pushes unneeded surgeries that he most likely knows you don't need trying to get money. Wetstein is unprofessional, doesn't have a care in the world, and is greedy, he will do anything to get more money. I can't believe he is still licensed and is a Dr, after everyone's experience with him. He's the type of guy that would see a homeless person drop $5 and take it. Stay far away from this guy, refuse his care and ask for someone else to treat you.

If you have been treated by Wetstein and have a similar experience with ours or other reviewers on other websites please file a complaint and report him for fraud. Let's bring an end to his malpractices, we need numerous reports to do so. I'm sure he can also be sued for the scams he is doing and wouldn't be able to practice medicine any longer if we all came together.

Update: Charged $14 interest on our $25 payments for his bill which was not agreed upon. Said after we paid him he would submit the bill to Medicare, hasn't done so. Ended up needing a surgery he said my mom didn't need. REPORT TO MEDICAL BOARD!

Worst experience of our lives. Did a procedure on my mother came in to see her once after. Got paid from insurance then sued my 91 year old parents for 1200 more complete filth . Stay away I can’t believe he is still practicing. His office if you want to call it an office. Is disgusting, dirty old and smelly

Giving this physician 1-star, is a compliment. After being misdiagnosed at Jersey Shore hospital with a collapsed lung, I was called back by the attending physician. She advised me that my scans were read wrong, and I would need to come back for an emergency chest tube. She then informed me that Dr. Wetstein was on call at the time, 2 am, and he would be performing my procedure. Dr. Wetstein explained to my mom and I that I had blebs in my lungs, along with a pneumothorax (collapsed lung) and he would have to do two procedures. One to remove the cysts. One to reflate my lung. After a long agonizing procedure deflating my lung, he told my mom he was going to now fix the blebs. She would not let this happen, because the radiologist who found my pneumothorax mentioned nothing about it. The following morning, Dr. Wetstein came to “check on me”. He failed to look at my wound, drainage or any part of me. He did not even touch me. He was just insistent on the fact that he had to remove my “blebs”. After firing him from my case, a pulmonologist came in to examine me. He informed me that I did not, and never did have blebs. He would have performed an unnecessary procedure to open me up. Doctor after doctor told me that this man should not have a medical license. He left me with a wound that looked like a gun shot. Do not let him near your family! This man is horrible! He should not be a medical professional. Save yourself / your family the PTSD

Rude doctor with no bedside manners! Thank God I read reviews after meeting him, his arrogance and the way he spoke to gave me a bad vibe about him. He's definately not gonna be anywhere near my case

My mom had the same issue exactly. He sued her and she had to pay as well. He does not deal with any insurance companies. He does not submit to any insurance companies. It is your responsibility to do so and get your money back. He has the same quotes memorized. So anyone dealing with him, just be prepared to pay. You have no voice. I firmly believe that he has an 'in' with the mediator at the court house. They are very chummy towards each other. She doesn't want to hear what you have to say. She probably gets a kick back from him. Horribly unethical. Horrible man. Horrible Dr. Any hospitals affiliated with him should be aware and ashamed to be associated with him.
