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 Weil took care of my neck some 12 yrs ago and did great. Now have additional neck issues which he hopefully will resolve again.

My Experience from beginning to end was Superior from every single individual who works for and with Dr. Weil; Steve, Clayton, Mary, Shelby are all models for who I would want working for and with me. Dr. Weil himself, is one of the finest, down to earth, amazing neurosurgeons I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Dr. Weil and his team, literally changed the "quality" of my life from "horrific pain" to "on my way to recovery". I would recommend Dr Weil, his contemporaries, personnel and facilities he recommends and uses to anyone with back, nerve and spine (vertebrae) issues, damage etc., they changed my life. Everyone in his office and facilities "all" went above and beyond the call of duty to help me and I appreciate them "all" more than words can describe. Basically "Awesome Experience" from beginning to "this moment" (healing, but moving in the right direction)

Dr. Weil performed cervical disc surgery replacement surgery about a year ago. Most importantly, my radicular pain was gone the moment I woke up from surgery and has not recurred in the eleven months since. His bona fides speak for themselves. I found him to be friendly, warm, kind, and accessible. I was offered the option of having the surgery done at St. Luke's or at an outpatient surgery center. I went with the latter. I was one of only a few patients having surgery that morning. It was easy to get to, easy to park, and easy for my family to pick me up. (I have heard negative things about the St. Luke's surgical center but have no personal knowledge concerning it.) I feel for the folks who had negative experiences because they weren't able to get insurance to cover their claims. Personally, I find it hard to overstate the overall positivity of my experience with him. Just be prepared to listen to country music borderline blaring through the speakers in the waiting room!

I'm 1 year post from a ACDF to relieve spinal cord compression. I couldn't walk a straight line for more than 2-3 steps before losing balance....after surgery, immediately, that problem was solved. I thought his office setup was perfect. Not a big practice....entirely a solo practice operation. Weil is a highly recommended doc. The first BCM doc I saw wanted to do 9 hrs of surgery; Weil solved it all with a 2 hr surgery.... Top notch. Top Tier.

From scheduling appt to follow-up with Dr. Weil everything was handled very well. The office staff was courteous and prompt. They made sure I understood what was expected from me. Dr. Weil is amazingly patient, kind and sensitive. He took the time to very clearly explain my condition and what was necessary - even the pain that would be associated post surgery. Surgery was successful and I am pain free. During follow-up he once again was clear on expectations. He discussed weight loss and exercise in a sensitive and beneficial way. By far one of the most caring surgeons I've had.

Dr. Weil was and is the only doctor to ever help me with my back pain. He performed a microdiscectomy on my low back a couple years ago. I was able to play Division 1 collegiate tennis because of him. I was able to continue leading the life I once had because of him. He's a wonderful doctor that will present the facts. Highly recommend!

Dr. Weil is incredible. He removed a hemangioblastoma and cyst the size of a plum that was pressing on my husband's brain. Dr. Weil explains everything thoroughly and makes sure you are informed the whole way through. He has a calming demeanor as well. My husband was able to leave the hospital the day after his brain surgery. Amazing. I cannot praise him enough.

Dr. Weil is an outstanding doctor. While I ultimately underwent surgery, he started off my treatment with a very conservative approach. When it became apparent that surgery was necessary, he fixed the problem. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I was not happy with my resent visit with Dr. Weil. I felt as though I wasted both of our time. His attitude was extremely snug. 3 previous spine surgeries He showed absolutely no sympathy, empathy, or concern as for as the pain that I have experienced for the past 3 weeks He recommended that I have injections yet the doctor that performs the injections recommended me to him. I told him I was informed injections would not help. He said; it is what it is. WOW I would NOT recommend him to anyone

Don't trust these ratings. I have tried it twice and wasn't pleased with the doctor's that I chose from all these high ratings. All I did was waste my time on both this doctor and the previous one that I chose from here. I finally broke down and contacted an old family doctor who got me in touch with a top notch Neurosurgeon who was able to fix my problems with a minimally invasive procedure, to get the herniated disks off the nerves, that was causing all my pain.

Dr Weil performed surgery on me a week ago this past Friday for Cervical Stenosis. I'm a huge baby when it comes to surgery, so I was very apprehensive. He assured me that it would be fine. Surgery went well, 1st week post op pain handled well with medication he prescribed. Had my dressing removed today. He did an awesome job cosmetically in the area of the incision. I was almost hoping for like a gnarly "pirate scar" (it's a guy thing". It is barely even noticeable. Very happy so far.

I experienced a C4-C5 pinched nerve in 2013 that limited my left arm movement. Dr. Weil diagnosed me and within 2 days I was in surgery for ACDF. This time I experienced compression in L4-L5 in which oDr. Weil diagnosed in 2/2017. I tried 5 epidural injections back to back to only receive about 30-45 days of relief. I was then scheduled for 9/6/2017 but Dr. Weil moved my case to 8/31/2017 because I was in severe pain. Thank you Thank you Dr. Weil for succesful Laminectomy L4-5.. He is the BEST

Dr. Weil is an amazing neurosurgeon. He made me feel like my 3 level ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion) was his artwork. He had every bit of confidence that he did the best job and better than anyone else could have done. I've asked multiple surgeons what they think of the final X-Ray and they all said it was perfect... AND no nerve damage. I do have to say, he would not give me the pain meds I needed, so it was a horrible experience post-op, but totally worth it NOW for this surgeon
