Dr. Weikert acted like he was bothered to even talk to me. He actually came highly recommended to me from an Occupational Therapist and staff in his office. However, I did not have a positive experience in any shape or manner. I was dismissed without any regard for my pain and left in tears

I had previously seen Dr Weichert for a broken wrist. He performed the initial surgery and a followup surgery and was excellent throughout the process. This time I had a cyst on my left wrist and a doctor at the Belcourt walk-in clinic suggested I see an orthopedic doctor so Dr Weichert was my first choice. In this case he confirmed that it was a ganglion cyst and that we should watch it over time as it wasn't currently causing me any pain. This was a good plan in my eyes.
