I hate that I'm 4 months late writing about him but here I am-finaly! rnI have nothing but great things to stay about Dr.Weiner and his immediate staff. The hospital staff was different, but since this is about him I won't go into detail. He is very informative, doesnt beat around the bush and makes sure you feel secure about the decision you are making. I had a lot of doubts before going to see him and his staff but left anxiously waiting for to hear from Tri-Care!

I MET DR.WEINER ON THE 14TH OF MAY HE WAS VERY NICE HE ANSWERED QUESTIONED AND MADE ME FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE . HE GAVE ME A SURGERY DATE FOR THE 16TH OF JULY. HE WOULD HAVE DONE IT SOONER BUT I WANTED TO GIVE MYSELF A FEW EXTRA WEEKS AFTER VACATION. april 15 2011/ SO FAR SO GOOD HE IS AN EXCELLENT DOCTOR . I HAD MY SURGERY FOUR YRS AGO I HAVE GAINED SO WEIGHT BACK BUT THIS IS MY FAULT NOT STICKING TO THE PLAN . I AM AN EMOTIONAL EATER SO WHEN STRESS COMES I EAT . I SHOULD LEARN TO NOT LET PEOPLE GET TO ME PLUS I NEED TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE MORE.I KNOW IF I GO BACK THE BEGINING I WILL LOSE THE WEIGHT IT HAS WORKED BEFORE SO I KNOW IT WILL WORK AGAIN I JUST NEED TO STICK TO IT.

He is a very sweet man, and very real about the expectations of WLS. I am very happy to always receive quick e-mail responses directly from him. Overall I would rate him as excellent!

Prof. Dr. Weiner is a very caring surgeon. I felt like I was in very capable hands, seeing as how he is one of the pioneers of laparascopic surgery. He is so father figure like. When I finally got to feeling better, he gently stroked my face and made me feel like it was going to be alright. I know anyone who is considering surgery would be pleased with Prof. Dr. Weiner! rnI started out at 310lbs and am currently 226lbs. (5 months post-op).

Wow, wonderful man. I had my first visit with him on February 28th. I was nervous about meeting him, but he cracked a joke and I was put at ease. True, sometimes I couldn't understand what he said, but he didn't repeating himself. He put me at ease and even gave me a Patient Information Packet which had every little piece of information about the surgery; before and after. I've read it over and over and it makes me even more comfortable with my choice. He also gave me his email address for any further questions I may have, and everytime I have written him (depending on the time of day) I usually got a response from him around 2 hours later. I'm scheduled for surgery March 28th; and I'm very happy that my life will be in his hands.rnrnAs I've said...he is truly a wonderful man. My surgery was very successful and anytime I need him, I can always email him and count on him to email me back. I wouldn't have traded him for the world!

I had my initial consult with my surgeon. He seemed very nice and professional. Our first meeting was very uneventful and I will not see him again until my pre-op and surgery (May 11). It did seem a little different for me since I won't really get to know him better until my surgery. But I have heard only great things about him. He did give me his email and told me to contact him with any questions or concerns. There were a few times when I did not understand his German accent. But, I just asked questions when I missed something and he was very patient to explain. I am looking forward to getting to know him better through this process. I will be able to say more later, but all in all, I would recommend him.rn~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~rnAfter having my surgery, I can say that I am a big fan of Prof Weiner and his staff. I feel that I could not have had a better surgeon. I think his reputation speaks for itself, I trust him completely. He was very kind during my stay at the hospital. He gave me a hug on the day I checked out. I really felt that he truely cared about me and all of his patients.rnrnI was disappointed that I was not able to see him on my followup visit. I do understand that he is very busy and my meeting with his colleague went well.rnrnUnfortunately, we left Germany and I will probably never be able to see him again. But he provided his email address and I do plan to keep him updated on my progress.rnrnI think that anyone that is in Germany would be so fortunate to have him as their surgeon.

Loving, he is very straight forward and to the point, his staff is ok, his spitting, dribbling on the side of his mouth and always in a rush, exactly waht I have I already told you he is great at what he does and his personality is great, he encourages strongly to keep up with your self, very honest, 10, and his surgical competence is great and his bedside manner is ok. I love him and wouldn't have pick anyone else to do my surgery.

Prof. Weiner was very nice and I felt as though he spoke perfect english. It was a pleasure to meet him and he was so helpful in making sure everything went well for me and all of my questions were answered. I am looking forward to my surgery date. The office staff was very friendly as well. They were helpful and spoke english as well. I will be able to rate the whole experience better after surgery.
