Dr. Joseph S. Weiner, MD/PhD

Dr. Weiner treats his patients in a psychopharmacology and psychotherapy private practice in Great Neck, NY, specializing in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders in adults. He is a "doctor's doctor" as many of his patients are physicians. In addition to treating individuals, he also provides couples therapy.

As a psychiatrist, Dr. Weiner has founded several clinical services and educational programs and has received national and regional awards for his work as a clinician and educator of clinicians. He has treated and helped thousands of patients and their families in his career and has mentored a generation of students and physicians to become better doctors. Nothing gives him greater pleasure than to help someone have a better life.

Dr. Weiner has previously served as the first Chief of Primary Care Psychiatry at Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan, the first Medical Director of Palliative Care at Long Island Jewish Medical Center and as Chief of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at North Shore University Hospital/Manhasset. In 2011, the Department of Psychiatry at the Zucker Hillside Hospital gave Dr. Weiner an appreciation award for, "his dedication to the education of residents and fellows and being a role model for the humanistic approach to the art and science of medicine." Since 2016, Castle Connolly has named Dr. Weiner a "Top Doctor in the New York Metro Area."

Dr. Weiner is also currently writing a book for the benefit of patients, family members and physicians about lessons learned from his late wife's battle with cancer.
