I had total knee replacement 6 months ago. I got to skip the three month review I was doing so well. He’s an amazing Surgeon, personable to a point, but no nonsense in getting results. I highly recommend him! His staff are always fantastic and extremely professional and make you feel so very welcome.

35 years of lower back problems finally cured by surgery following snow shoveling flareup. As an engineer, I appreciated Dr. Weiss' manner and attention, as he was/is very professional and got straight to business, while addressing all of my questions fully. Initially terrified of back surgery, but am so glad I had it done (by Dr. Weiss). Also, the entire experience at Rockville's Shady Grove Hospital was great.

Horrible experience. Needed additional surgery by a different physician and have life long complications.

I visited Dr Weiss a few months ago with back pain from strenuous work. He took a lot of time with me to make me understand how I should be positioning myself when doing certain tasks. Also taught me certain stretches to prepare me for each day. His office was very cooperative with my schedule and offered two different locations which worked perfect for me. He accepts most insurances and my visit was very satisfactory!!

Is great with injury knowledge, but lacks communications with office personell. I was said to have been placed off work, never given the proper paper work. I was said to have been sent to physical therapy, yet never was sent. Doctor delay's on his paper work for patients findings and charges for any type of paper work. Never calls you back if you need to talk to him.

After spending several years with back problems, Dr. Weiss was able to diagnose and correct my problem. He operated on a disc and I am as good as new. Great job!

Run - do not walk - from this "doctor". He completely misdiagnosed my daughter causing us to needlessly spend hundreds of dollars and causing her to spend a lot of additional time in constant pain because of his inability to order the correct tests and his inablity to read the results. He may be good for whiplash patients but that is about it.
