Dr. Robert Frederick Weiss, MD

Good beside manner excellent surgeon

Dr. Weiss walked in room, looked at x-ray, and asked "When do you want to schedule surgery?" I will acknowledge my x-ray shows bone on bone arthritis, but neither doctor nor staff talked or discussed anything else or even examined me for that matter. I felt extreme pressure to immediately schedule surgery. Doctor blew nose three times and did not wash hands. Without talking to me, did an infra-articular injection in office without guidance. (I'm disappointed in self for refusing but didn't feel able.) The injection did help but have been told it is probably not as effective as it could be. Was truthful that if I lost weight he would consider doing anterior approach.

he refused to look at MRIs and used x-rays only. Claimed he could clean-out the knee which takes 1 - 2 hours, but he had the next guy preped before I went in. He said could not do anything, (which I have been told the MRI said to any Doc), and replacement was next. I had told him I will never go with a replacement prior to all this.
