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.

Best Orthopedist
Expert! Kind, caring, explains well, best treatment! for my husband and myself. If he doesn't do a type of surgery, care, he refers you to the BEST MD. (I'm a woman and he treats me with respect!)

Bicep tendon tear
Pain in bicep. Dr. Wiese told me I needed PT and a cortisone shot before he could do an MRI. (Wouldn’t PT make it worse if it’s a tear?) He insisted Insurance requires it. PT made it worse. He said I need a cortisone shot. and come back in 4 weeks. Two weeks after shot I’m in severe pain so I go back sooner than 4 weeks. He tells me to ‘suck it up’ it’s only been two weeks. Wait for the shot to do it’s job. A few days after, I have a bulge in my bicep. After transferring to another doctor and getting the MRI I have a ruptured bicep. If Wiese would have listened, the bicep may not have ruptured and I could have it re-attached. Now its too late, the damage is done. I changed doctors because he made other comments like yelling ‘just answer the question!’ And saying it’s just sympathy pain. (No it wasn’t…I had a full tear in rotator cuff muscle.) Very disrespectful, rude especially to women. Doesn’t take the time to explain things. Dismisses your questions and concerns.

Very disappointed, initial visit he seemed concerned but followup visit, not only did his diagnosis change but what he tells patients in person is NOT reflected on test reports, so you walk away confused as to what is wrong. MRI that they provide are labled "w/o professional read" and come from a third party and do not follow normal MRI format, ie no mention of soft tissue, ligaments, etc. If you continue to mention where you hurt, he makes faces and tells you to suck it up by saying "it's part of the process".

Very caring - I have known him and his family for years. Trust him implicitly. He is very intelligent and also has lots of common sense. He helped my daughter and operated on my knee. Very good experiences.

I saw Dr. Weise about a week ago for my hip pain.. which I was a little scared due to him telling me that he could do an injection but do to my health I could have the injection without the sedation(per my other medical dr.) It was done and overwith in about 10 mins without any pain( while I kept thinking of the pain I was waiting for do other peoples reaction to the same procedure)
