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.

Some concerns.
While Dr. Weiss may be a very knowledgeable and skilled physician, she doesn't share the details of treatment and the why's of the protocol. Questions went unanswered and she would say, "just do it." Explanations were lacking substance and it wasn't until I consulted with another oncologist, that I understood my treatment. If you are someone who wants to understand and get details, stay away.

Dr. Weiss is an amazing doctor. She is caring compassionate and professional. I have been seeing her for two years and she always makes me feel at ease. You can talk to her about anything . It's like talking to a friend. She is a five star doctor. I hope she never retires because it would be a tremendous loss to all her patients. Fran Magas

I had 2 appointments with Dr. Weiss over the last few weeks. This is the first time I have been to this office. The staff, and Dr. Weiss were very friendly and professional. Dr. Weiss was very informative, and was able to tell me why blood tests came back the way they did, and she was able to refer me to another specialist. I would definitely recommend using Dr. Weiss, and it was a pleasure dealing with everyone in the office.

I have been a patient of Dr. Weiss for many years. I find her knowledge, compassion and care for the patient to be extremely rare in todays medical field. She is truly the ultimate professional and besides that she truly cares about the patients total well being. I would be remiss not to mention her great staff especially Susan who is always professional and pleasant When you are struggling with these life changing medical issues this is the Doctor you want treating you. I am a 35 plus year patient of Dr. Rita Weiss

There are few words that can be used to describe Dr. Weiss’ level of commitment, professionalism, and care she provides her patients. Having been my mother’s hematologist for 18+ years, Dr. Weiss has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure she receives the comprehensive care she needs. I’m serious when I say that Dr. Weiss has kept my mother alive for all of these years primarily because of the care she provides. She is a gift from God. Dr. Weiss is extraordinarily thorough, impeccable and consistently flawless follow-up, is always available, and truly cares deeply for her patients. Hands down, I have not seen a doctor with all of these traits at this level before. Dr. Weiss’ office staff is top notch too. Susan, the office manager, is amazing. She greets with a smile and calls every patient by name when they come into and leave the office, is extremely organized, always returns phone calls and messages timely, and has an absolutely delightful demeanor.

I can’t express how thankful I am to have met Dr. Weiss and her staff. Until I met her, I pretty much gave up on Doctors who truly cared about their patients as Dr. Weiss is the most thorough, compassionate Doctor I know. She spends the time necessary with you to ensure you truly understand everything when you leave her office and personally follows up as she has a vested interest in her patients and their well- being. Dr. Weiss has changed my life!

Dr. Weiss I met while in St. Francis hospital for heart issues. The doctors ordered x-rays and found a Tuma on my lung. Dr. Weiss took charge after finding cancer. She and her staff made sure I would be in good care and tests needed quick. I had surgery by a great doctor and removed the cancer. I see Dr. Weiss when needed and is very caring and highly experienced. She saved my life.

I have been under her care since diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997 and more recently in the past few years when my cancer metastasized. She has always been the most knowledgeable, caring and devoted doctor who has always been there to explain and treat my condition. I would strongly recommend her to anyone diagnosed with any form of cancer that requires treatment. She has always been extremely positive and supportive. I am very fortunate to have her as my doctor.
