I am so grateful that I found Dr. Weiss. I had very strange symptoms that came on somewhat suddenly. My primary care doctor was unavailable until the next week but I was desperate for help. My friend recommended Dr. Weiss and when I called his office, they told me to come in right away!
When I got there, I was visibly shaky, very weak, and having trouble breathing. My symptoms included severe anxiety, weakness, shakiness, breathing trouble, racing heart, vibrations up my spine and in my head, dizziness and gastrointestinal problems. When Dr. Weiss saw me waiting as he escorted his previous patient out, he came to me right away because he could see my distress. He spoke to me very reassuringly and gently. He offered me some chamomile tea and said he would be right with me.
Dr. Weiss spent probably almost 1 hour with me. With other doctors, I always felt that they didn't really listen or take me seriously. I could tell that Dr. Weiss took me very seriously. He listens like no other doctor has ever done, and probably unlike most people can. He asked me many questions and listened to my long answers without interrupting me. He was so respectful and has never talked down to me.
He suspected from the very beginning that my symptoms could be Lyme Disease. I was skeptical because I had never heard of symptoms like this as Lyme. Even when my first blood test came back negative - he never gave up. Eventually he took my blood at his office and sent it to a special lab for a Western Blot test - which after 3 weeks came back very positive! I couldn't believe it! I am so thankful that after many office visits, ER visits with racing heart of 150 beats, and other doctor visits - Dr. Weiss never gave up. He told me that he would not give up. During this 2 1/2 month period, at least 3 other doctors - a cardiologist, an endocrinologist, and a gastroenterologist all said they didn't think it was Lyme Disease. Thankfully Dr. Weiss was able to diagnose me and start me on treatment right away. He put me on antibiotics and has also recommended supplements and herbs that will support me. I can say that it has only been 1 1/2 months since the diagnosis, but I finally feel like myself again. Dr. Weiss is the best doctor I have ever had. (Even my 5 year old daughter loves him and told him she would like to have him as her doctor. He has always responded to me and my daughter with nothing but respect and kindness.) read more
