It’s unfortunate that Dr Weis is retiring. He did my back surgery 7 yrs ago and I wish he was still here to do my next . My appointment today was to assure me that my issue could be dealt with and Dr Weis was as professional and compassionate as he was back then . I trust that the Dr. he referred me to will be able to perform my surgery as well as he did .

Dr. Weis exhibited remarkable kindness. He dedicated a substantial amount of time to reviewing my medical history and conveyed information about my back issues in an informative manner during our conversations. I wholeheartedly endorse the idea of consulting with him if you have back issues. The appointment with him today was indeed a pleasurable experience.

Dr. Weis listened to me carefully without interrupting and then asked detailed questions about my problem. He came to a satisfactory conclusion and came up with a treatment plan. He performed spinal fusion surgery on my back a few years ago with great success. To me, he is the epitome of a great doctor!

Staff was friendly. Dr. Weis took the time and explained my MRI as well as my x-rays results. He provided answers to all my questions. And was genuinely concerned that I understood all aspects of my treatment.
