Growing up in a family of physicians, I understand that seeing patients day after day with grave and sometimes terminal illnesses may take a toll one’s ability to treat the next patient with a much milder issue, thus I have always given praise and respect to any doctor who is able to treat each patient with  equal compassion.  My personal issue brings me quite a bit of pain but I realize everything is relative, and in fact, I should feel lucky that I am treatable. Nevertheless, Dr. Weis impressed me with his knowledge, compassion, thoroughness and his efforts of going above and beyond the call of duty to help my situation. 

I truly cannot thank him enough and will end by saying  without a doubt that Dr. Weis is one to be admired and respected at Scripps and within the field of medicine.
