I was super-impressed with Dr Weikert's bedside manner. Lovely guy with a level of kindness, friendliness, attentiveness and empathy that I truly appreciated. A great experience.

Dr. Weikert is a busy doctor. Even though late afternoon appts tend to be more wait time after check in, he's worth it. He doesn't rush to get to the next patient once he is able to see you. He's friendly and listen even if he's running behind. That kind of care is greatly appreciated.

I was first seen by a fellow. He did a thor exam, was polite, and explained my condition. Dr. Weikert then came in. He is an excellent doctor, examined my hand, talked with me, and confirmed the diagnosis. He communicated the options for care, and we discussed what I chose to do.
