Dr. Weiss needs to work on his conversation skills with patients instead of blaming his hyper speech on coffee. And [...] listen to the patient. He kept talking about my pain being present for over a year. I tried twice to tell him it's been 5 months but he wasn't listening.

Dr. Weiss was very informative, listened to my concerns and I left there knowing my issues were addressed and felt better about my concerns! He is definitely a doctor that cares and wants his patients to understand any options. He was definitely a bright spot compared to many other doctors I have dealt with. [...] Dr. Weiss made me believe it still is possible to have a doctor not just push you through the process. 10 stars to him and hope he will continue in Rochester

Appreciated that there was dialogue instead of having a physician just talking at me. And I didn't have to bring him up to speed, he was already up to speed and ready when he walked in the room. He answered all of my questions clearly when I came to scenarios and options and I felt like he wasn't just trying to push me into surgery when it might get better on its own.
