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.

Dr. Weimsheimer is the best! We had an emergency surgery and he provided our family with kindness, reassurance, and exceptional care during a scary situation.

Good provider. Score of 8 is because we're still seeing if issue fully resolves and heals as expected after second treatment.

Dr wessinmer was amazing. He got my daughter into surgery the next morning after seeing him for the first time. He listened to my concerns and understood the urgency of the matter and the best approach. His staff was ready for any situation. His RN was very kind and kid friendly. I did notice only one person checking In all the patients while the other two were looking at their screens and not acknowledging patients in front of them. Big kudos to her that was at the desk sitting closer to the exam rooms. She was handling stress well and stayed professional. Very hard worker and she needs to be recognized!

He essentially saved our infant son's life. When no other doctor could find out what was wrong with our extremely ill child for nearly 6 months, Dr. Weinsheimer took charge, found the issue, and had a plan to resolve it surgery within hours. We are forever grateful.

Our daughter required emergency intestinal surgery at two days old and we were beyond blessed to have Dr. Weinsheimer be her surgeon. It has been 2 years since her surgery and our 3 week stay in the NICU. Our daughter is happy, healthy and thriving. We are eternally grateful for the outstanding care we received from Dr. Weinsheimer and the care team at Swedish First Hill NICU. I reflect back on those days often and feel completely blessed to have had Dr. Weinsheimer perform our daughter's life saving surgery.

My son was hospitalized at Swedish and Dr. Weinsheimer was part of his care team. Amazing doctor and communication with us parents was top notch. He was always present when procedures were performed and was overall fantastic. Would most definitely see him in the future if we needed any surgery for our little guy.
