Dr. Weis is very kind. We were told by our pediatrician that our 14 year old daughter has scoliosis. After visiting with Dr. Weis, he put our minds at ease letting us know it is very mild and nothing to worry about. He also spoke directly to my daughter and made her feel included in her care. He is very respectful and caring.
