Dr. Weikert had made up his mind about my condition prior to my arrival and was not open to discussing any alternative treatments that may have benefited me. I was not impressed at all. I got a second opinion from a different surgeon at Vanderbilt with a totally different outcome and a treatment plan that Benefits me.
