Dr Weaver is truly an amazing doctor. I felt quite lost while going through all of my symptoms and, at times, very much on my own, until I was fortunate enough to find Dr Weaver. Before seeing Dr Weaver, I had consulted a few different doctors, but I never really felt heard or understood. That completely changed when Dr Weaver took over my care. There are some truly amazing doctors out there who genuinely care about their patients, take a real interest in their needs, and, most importantly, listen — and Dr Weaver is definitely one of those doctors. Sometimes, I feel that doctors can become fixated on one particular issue, which can make it difficult to consider that the problems you are experiencing now may not necessarily be related to something that happened ten years ago. What I really appreciate about Dr Weaver is that he genuinely listens to you. Nobody knows their own body and symptoms better than the person experiencing them, and he takes all the information you provide seriously. Rather than becoming fixated on one possibility, Dr Weaver looks at the bigger picture and creates a clear plan to get to the bottom of what is causing your problems in the first place. You truly feel cared for, listened to and respected. It is clear that he genuinely wants to help you, make things easier for you, and improve your quality of life. I had been experiencing an issue for months, and Dr Weaver genuinely helped me resolve it. For the first time, I felt that someone was really listening to me and taking my concerns seriously. I never felt rushed or dismissed, and I always felt...
Read moreAs always, reassuring. Helpful advice. Understanding. An excellent Dr for me.
I visited Dr Weaver recently after suffering from some gastrointestinal issues, mainly blood and vomitting, he talked me through all of the tests and results and recommended a flexible sigmoidoscopy which again he walked me through in detail. I’m glad that nothing sinister was found and felt reassured by Dr Weaver. He really listens to you and clearly cares about his patients which sadly seems to be quite rare nowadays.
Dr Weaver is clearly a highly experienced expert in this field. He had taken time to read my notes before the appointment and was fully focussed on my issues. He made me feel very comfortable and listened to me intently before explaining everything and helping me to make a plan to resolve and support my problem. I cannot recommend highly enough. Do not hesitate to make an appointment.
Dr Weaver established a professional and empathetic relationship very quickly. My current medication made me less lucid than normal and Dr Weaver kept focussed with sensitivty. He listened, provided advice andIi left feeling confident and assured.
It is always a pleasure to see Dr Weaver . He puts you at ease very quickly , listens very well and is easy to talk to. He is very thorough and considered so you always come away feeling he has done his very best to help you.
Dr Weaver understood the reason why I wanted a second opinion. His explanation of my condition was excellent and enabled me to make informed choices. I am very grateful to him I don’t feel that I’m a nuisance and I have gained confidence to deal with my condition
Good to speak to a doctor who took an interest in my problems and explained everything clearly
Dr Weaver was extremely pleasant and friendly. He was very empathetic and used appropriate language when discussing sensitive symptoms. He is clearly very knowledgeable and gave very accessible explanations. Dr Weaver gave a selections of options and was transparent in his understanding of patient involvement in decisions. I felt considered, respected, reassured and listened to.
Dr weaver, his secretary Lauren have been wonderful. Great communication, empathy, care and understanding throughout my booking of appointments to actual appointments and the surgical procedure.
