Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Go to Dr. Weikert if you like being talked 'at'
Go to Dr. Weikert if you like being talked 'at' instead of talked 'to'. When I tried to asked questions, he cut me off with an answer in a condescending tone. The only thing that stopped me from speaking up was the thought of what I dad would have said--it put a smile on my face just thinking about it. Maybe Dr. W was having a bad day but he seemed way too comfortable with that style of communication. My suggestion, Bedside manner school. I will not be going back.

The office procedures operate smoothly. Staff professionals ascertain information in a quick and accurate manner, contacting the patient as necessary. The surgical procedure went well. The patient was nervous at first, leaving the surgery center with confidence in Dr Weikert. Special blessings to all of you and the Franklin Surgical Center for truly caring!! Bev/and patient

A friend referred me to Dr. Weikert for Cataract Surgery, and now I wouldn't trust anyone else with my eye health. He and his staff take their time and listen to your concerns, they truly only want what is best for their patients and it shows! The surgery went great and the recovery was just as fast thanks to him and his team. I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

My experience with Dr. Weikert was very poor, terrible bedside manners, He and the optometrist that said I needed Cataract surgery failed me, they told me I needed Cataract surgery, but wasn't ready for surgery.. my problem was with my corneal.. since my surgery, I've totally lost my far range sight. I'm near sided and after consulting with another Optomologist told me that my Cataract in my right eye is several years out to be removed and Dr. Weikert wanted to do both, a week apart.. glad I didn't have him to perform the surgery in the right eye.. if so! I would be totally near sided in both eyes. I've made 5 trips to my Veterans Dr. And she trying to correct what Dr. Weikert has messed up.. please get a second opinion before letting someone mess with your eye sight.. I had 2020 vision before surgery with Dr. Weikert, now it's 20-200.. ?? does anyone have a good answer for me?

Dr. Weikert's staff was so helpful with my first appointment to an ophthalmologist. They were friendly, informative, and efficient with getting me to see the doctor. Once I was in the room with Dr. Weikert, he was kind and treated me like he knew me for years. He addressed all my eye concerns with patience and kindness and I left feeling assured that I was well taken care of.

I will recommend Dr. Weikert to all of my friends and family! He looked at my mom and knew right away what was causing her vision to be blurry. He took the time to explain everything to her and answered every question. We never felt rushed and he had even worked her in the same day we called. Very happy with the entire visit!!

I don't ever write reviews but after a visit like today's I feel like it was essential. Dr. Weikert is a fantastic doctor who truly cares for your needs & does a great job at making sure you receive the proper treatment that is best for you. I was diagnosed with Cataracts & he educated me on all my options for the surgery and did not push me into upselling certain additional options that I have been pushed into by other surgeons (others made me feel like I was a client of a sales associate). I immediately felt welcomed by his staff & that continued throughout the whole visit. The best part... I was in & out within 30-40 minutes which you usually don't find at a doctor's office. I will be returning to Cool Springs Surgical Associates, not only for my surgery but for my eye exams in the future. Thank you Dr. Weikert for your care & your gracious staff!

He was patient, kind, and willing to answer all my questions. I had both eye cataracts done one week apart and have recommended him to everyone I see that is needing eye care. His follow-up visits made sure everything was healing and doing well for me. It is a wonder that I now have gone from Legally Blind and couldn't drive, but now the license is with NO GLASSES restriction. Thank you Dr Weikert, I trusted in you and showed me you were the correct decision for my eyes.

Worst doctor I’ve ever been to. He is so overscheduled I waited over an hour and I got 5 minutes of time and a $252 billing, of course. His medical assistant wasn’t friendly, in her monotone asking health questions. Weichert was very flippant and non-caring in his manner. Not the type of doctor anyone should want to go to. Never again would I go to him. I should’ve read reviews first and I would not have chosen him.

I've had problems with both eyes following cataract surgery performed by Dr. Weikert and he is rude and arrogant. I would not recommend him.

My vision was better before the surgery than post op. Had it almost a year ago. He doesn;t listen to what I had to say and has a very arrogant manner about himself. Go somewhere else. I so regret getting cataract surgery. Maybe it would have been different with another doctor.
