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.

Extremely thorough and knowledgeable

Understood my complex condition better than any previous neurologist I consulted. Especially with regards to post COVID dysautonomia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Responded to my many questions both during the visit and through the patient portal. Highly recommended.

Could not obtain norm references to accompany my EMG/nerve conduction studies, which should accompany this type of report. Would not recommend this EMG lab.

Misdiagnosed me.
Dr. Weimer misdiagnosed me. I deteriorated significantly due to his misdiagnosis and lack of investment in my care.

The first time I saw Dr. Weimer he ran tests, examined me thoroughly. At that time he said the reason for my neuropathy may never be known and I should treat the symptoms. He ruled out all the things other doctors tried to tell me was my cause. I returned for a visit and he immediately noticed how my condition had deteriorated. He ran more tests and had this time he reason enough for insurance to run a very pricy genetic test . Sure enough, the cause was found. I have an extremely rare genetic mutation. He and the wonderful young doctor with him helped me find my way through all the ins and outs of my condition. My whole family finds him extremely caring, compassionate, and thorough. I never feel rushed or like any question is silly. My only problem is how hard it is to get an appointment to see him! I live 2 hours away, but I’ll never switch to another doctor. Dr Weimer is my doctor. Period.

I highly recommend Dr. Weimer. Today I spent one hour in a telehealth visit with him (this was our first encounter) for a second opinion and was extremely pleased. Aside from Dr. Weimer's obvious expertise, I found him to be extraordinarily patient; an excellent listener; very clear in his explanations and guidance; fully "present"; and, last, but not least, empathic.

Poor - He built his practice and career writing articles about drug induced neuropathy. (btw, several of these article are only available overseas). - When he is provided with a person who has exactly what he describes, he will not give a diagnosis. If you are a patient, check your diagnosis. If you have damage from Flagyl/Metronidazole, the diagnosis code should be G62.0 Drug-induced polyneuropathy. He will not select that code because a peer will be liable for the damage. Instead, the code will be G62.9, Polyneuropathy, unspecified. By saying unspecified, he can still treat you but keep his peers out of trouble. - Columbia would not even look at my wife's imaging. I had to call the CEO to try to get proper medical attention and they still declined. I would not waste your time. What is the use of going to a doctor that cannot tell you the truth?

I waited 4 months to see Dr. Weimer for a second opinion on a complicated neurological condition. I brought extensiveiimaging and lab reports to the consult. Dr. Weimer dismissed my concerns, offered no diagnosis for my symptoms, and offered no treatment options for my severe pain.

I took my son there to see Dr Weimar. The first time he ordered appropriate tests. At the follow up he couldn't diagnose my son because there were no results on the chart. We went home without knowing for sure what was wrong. When my on called Dr. Weimar a few months later to get the results, he was given the doctor's assistant who couldn't find the results either. My son just gave up. And the viit cost a lot. We were told his insurance covered it and it didn't.
