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.

Great doctor.
Dr Weibe has been my neurosurgeon for over 8 years. I’ve had a few surgeries performed by him. In my last dr Weibe states that my MRI showed a lesion in my neck and wanted my ore test done. He was actually checking my spine and this showed up. My insurance wouldn’t approve it so he insisted and I finally had a CTScan. It was a lesion on my thyroid. I had Papillary Carcinoma ten years ago. Dr weibe insisted my ppc send me to an Oncologist. My PPC didn’t think it was a big deal since the lesion was only 3mm in size. Dr Weibe’s staff called an sent me to an oncologist. Yesterday It was confirmed reoccurring Papillary Carcinoma Thyroid Cancer. Dr Weibe is my Neurosurgeon and yet he took the time to take care of me as a whole person. I am so very grateful for him and his insistence to get checked.

Dr. Wiebe sat down with me to show me the MRI of the necessary surgery needed to perform. I needed 2 discs removed in my neck / spine due to the nerves being impinged. The surgery took longer than expected 5 hrs total time, due to the fact that the impingements were worse than originally expected. Dr. Wiebe did an excellent job, and was very professional. I am healing very well despite my surgery being done on the 25th of June. The flare-ups are on occasion, but is too be expected at this point in time. I will be seeing him in 3 months for progress report. I would recommend him to anyone that needs surgery.

Dr Wiebe saved my life 10 years ago. I had a brain aneurysm and my HMO wanted to send me home. Dr Wiebe said absolutely not, you will send her to her death bed. He and his staff immediately made arrangement for me to go to Cedars Sinai where brain surgery was performed by Dr Wooter Shievink and my life was saved. He is very thorough and knowledgeable and is absolutely on your side. I would 1000 percent recommend him.

Dr. Wiebe, is one of the best doctor I have had in a long time. He is very considerate to his patients. He came in late one time and he apologized to his patients for being late. He gives each patient the time that they need and he doesn't fish through the appointments. He visit you in the hospital like a friend would,however he does his job as a professional. Let's not leave out his nurse Wanda, that women is something special. She makes you comfortable and makes each step very easy .???love her so much. My name is Trend Hope, and I had my surgery August 28th 2019 and I am so happy with the outcome of my surgery. However God get the glory for sending me to a great doctor and guiding his hand through my surgery. Thank you so much Dr. Wiebe and Nurse Wanda

This man is thee worst physician I have ever encountered. He preformed two surgeries on me in 2018. I should have learned after the first not to trust this man. He is very rude and inconsiderate towards patients and needs. Refused to give me adequate pain medicine after 2 very intense back surgeries. Never listened to my concerns what so ever and literally laughed in my face at times. He left me crippled and numb, totally depressed and dependent on family to care for me. DO NOT see this man .

I almost lost my life because of this incompetent man. He did my surgery for Chiari, then never handled my after care. I developed meningitis as a surgery complication and kept going to the ER sick and he refused to follow up thinking my pain was a joke. By the time it was caught I was on my death bed. Also, my surgical scar is indented in my head and not flat because my incision opened up and they would not resuture it back. I'm lucky to be alive, no thanks to him at all.

The most unprofessional neurosurgeon I've dealt with!!! He was short, snippy and very rude!!! How he's still employed shocks me!!! When I met him for the first and only time, we were conversing and eventually he got up and walked out of the room without finishing with me and proceeded to take his next patient claiming I needed a few minutes to gather my medical history... I left and will not be back!! Worst doctor ever.
