The decision to hire a doctor is not one to be taken lightly, or without consulting all the sources of information that are available. There are many factors that practitioners may be able to provide you with during your search for the right doctor.
One factor that Dr. Jennifer Weidner M.D, OB/GYN Specialist in El Paso, TX has demonstrated is her commitment to quality care and the willingness to listen and respond appropriately to patients’ needs. Her practice focuses primarily on obstetrics & gynecology because these areas are where she has received most of her training during her decade long career in medicine so far.
1. Education & Training
Education and credentials are probably the first things an individual seeks when looking for a medical professional. Dr. Weidner completed her undergraduate studies at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts where she majored in biology, organics and psychology. She then earned her medical degree from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, New Jersey. She has undergone additional formal training and education at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, MT Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach and The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
2. Emergency Departments & Specialties
An emergency department is a place of last resort for those with medical issues and emergencies. In addition to providing treatment for non-life threatening injuries and illnesses, an ED specializes in dealing with immediate problems or issues that cannot wait until a patient’s condition has stabilized before being brought to the front office. For that reason, many other physicians are reluctant to refer patients to urgent care centers or emergency departments, instead sending them out of the practice entirely.
That’s where Dr. Jennifer Weidner M.D., OB/GYN Specialist in El Paso, TX excels. As an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, throat) she is able to provide treatment for a wide variety of issues that do not require immediate attention, but have to be dealt with immediately in order for the patient to receive the best care.

4. Quality Of Care
The most important thing a health care provider can do is put their patients first. They should listen carefully to the needs and concerns of each individual, and provide comprehensive treatment in order to keep them healthy and out of the hospital as often as possible. In addition, a good doctor will make sure that you understand what’s going on with your health, why it is important that you change your lifestyle or medication regimen, how long it will be before you see results from treatment, what other steps may be necessary if symptoms continue or in case of an emergency situation.
