Great orthopedic. His general concern is for the patient. Upmost respect for him. He has helped me tremendously. I’ve been going to him for 10+ years for my knees. He is the best around. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Weiss for the past 18 years. He has always handled himself in a professional manner. His caring and compassionate "bedside manner" immediately puts you at ease. He performed multiple surgeries on my shoulder and "visited with me" in the hospital instead of just doing his rounds. I have seen Dr. Weiss for several other problems and he would always listen to any problem or concern I had. His explanations and instructions are easily understandable and he answers any questions without hesitation.I attribute my ability to function with my knee condition to his quick diagnosis and treatment regimen. As a member of the medical profession, I have worked with many doctors; In my professional opinion, Dr.Weiss is one of the best!!

Dr.Weiss has superior diagnostic skills and is always willing to spend as much time with you as you need to fully understand the methods of your treatment.

As a long time patient of Dr. Weiss, I can attest to his surgical skills, the thoroughness of his examinations, his willingness to spend sufficient time with each patient, and his genuine compassion. A wonderful man with an excellent practice.

Dr Weiss is a caring compassionate doctor who is dedicated to his patient's care. Although he no longer operates, he is an excellent diagnostician, fully aware of his limits & talents. His honesty & compassion are not often seen anymore.

the staff WAS great until he got rid of everyone. There is one person at the desk now who just is useless. Says she will do something and get back to you and NEVER does. He is a great doctor but if he sticks with this help only he will fail because I already know multiple people who have left because of her.

dr weiss is the most caring, concerned, professional dr Ive ever visited.I rate him all 4 out of 4 when it comes to his expertise and knowledge of his profession. unfortunately, he surrounds himself with inept, incompetitent, nasty,mean office staff. (appt. makers, ins takers) You know hes good if someone withstands the exposure to this previous to going into the exam room!
