Total trust in this guy
Dr. Weiss was very kind. He had reviewed my medical records before my appointment. Knew my issues. Was very kind answering all my questions and completely explained what my surgery will be and talked to me in a way I totally understood what he was going to need to do. Best Orthopaedic Surgeon I have ever met.
Dr Weiss is great
Couldn’t have had a better experience, my 5 year old was in and out and day one started to feel better. I am so grateful.
