Fantastic surgeon, nice man with very kind heart but he didn't give good follow through and come back to say hey come back when you need me or, I'd like to see you again how about eventually you will need this procedure to remove the cyst but for now we will let another doc take it out under ultrasound. Nurse came in to tell me it would be another hour so to leave an to come back. I didn't get a chance to plan long term action plan with Dr Weikert and I really wanted that follow up conversation. Again he was obviously overbooked and overwhelmed. I could have come another day but the app allowed me to schedule the appointment.

Dr. Weikert is so kind. He's so relaxed and discusses things with you. I also know he's the best hand & wrist doc in Nashville!
