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.

Very knowledgable and persistent. Up to date with treatments.

Dr. Howard Weiss is a joke and should have his license revoked. He does not care about patient care, he cares about lining his pockets with expensive injections that left me in more pain. When I returned to him saying I was in more pain he treated me like a pill pusher, accusing me of seeing my hydrocodone 5mg. ( I was prepscribed 4 x daily) he then suggested I go on a fentanyl or methadone treatment. What the hell. Talk about addicting drugs. He was so contradictory. I left his office then.

Have seen Dr. Weiss a number of years. My insurance changed and the pain management specialist were marginal. I pay a premium to see Dr. Weiss since he is out of network. Getting in to see him can take time, however when I had an emergency he expedited me and made accommodation via phone.

Tried to get an urgent appointment twice...didn't happen. 4-5 WEEK wait, and in severe pain. I live in Freeport where Dr. Weiss only comes once a week. Didn't matter how much pain I was in, he was booked up. Out of the last 2 of 3 appointments I had with him to get an injection, I had over an hour and a half wait from the time my appt. was scheduled for. It seems that phone calls from who-knows-who take top priority with him. Once he even came into the procedure room talking on the phone.
