Richard A Weiss MD

Nov 22nd, 2021

I come to Dr. Weiss from out of state and let me say I could not be more thrilled to do so. I was extremely particular when getting tear trough filler since the area can be difficult to treat. I do have auto immune disorder and I bruise very easily. I am so happy with my results and the treatment I received here. The office staff is nothing short of amazing. My whole Family comes to Dr. Weiss and we are so grateful for his genuine skill and for the phenomenal care he provides. He takes his time explaining things in depth and could not be any more kind. I am so thankful to Dr. Weiss and his staff!!! A special thank you to Jackie for calming my nerves and helping me through everything!

I went to Dr. Weiss for lower eyelid blepharoplasty in October of 2019 and I felt compelled to write an honest review about my experience and results, since I know people do use the internet when doing their research. I hope this is helpful to those who are considering Dr. Weiss for their procedure. I can only speak about the lower eyelid procedure, since that is what I had done. I am a 52 year old male and had a fair amount of fat deposits in my lower lids. Dr. Weiss does seem personable and honest. However, I can say that at least for the honesty part, it turned out not to be the case in my experience. He led me to believe that the skin in my lower eyelids would just snap in place and be perfect after he removed the fat. In fact, he used the terms "snap back" and "perfect" several times during my consultations with him. Well, it is now July of 2020 and I can tell you that my skin did not magically snap back. And if this is perfection, I'd rather go back to how imperfect I looked before! In fact, I still have bags, they're just empty and wrinkly now. If you ask him or his office, they'll offer to use laser to burn off the top layer of skin - as if that would do anything other than leave you looking like a burn victim...a poorer one at that...It is unfortunate because I will now have to go to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to do the procedure as it should have been done in the first place. Hopefully the BCPS will be able to work with what Dr. Weiss left behind. Dr. Weiss is limited to what procedures he can perform due to the required certifications. He will tell you he is Board Certified...Yes, but in Opthalmology. It is not the same thing , and it's misleading. In hindsight, I should have done more research instead of believing in someone's words and perceived integrity. It is hard for me to believe that people - and doctors, especially - will mislead a potential patient just to get a few more dollars in their bank accounts. I now understand why one of his past patients went through the trouble of posting a lot of negative reviews which he then had to fight with Google to remove. I won't resort to that. I won't even go into too much detail about the extreme pain during the procedure, the fact that he had to actually go back in to one of my eyes because he didn't do it right the first go, and the fact that I bled profusely out of one eye on day 7 and had to apply pressure to stop the bleeding. It felt like I was in a horror movie! Good thing I read the materials they provided, otherwise I would have freaked out. And, no, it was not due to my exerting myself, or not following directions, or traveling. Well, hopefully you find this helpful. I urge you to please do your research, look for the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon designation and do not just listen to what these "fat sucking" doctors tell you because apparently, some of them can lie like the best of them. And, because these are elective procedures, people just end up living with the results or having to spend even more money to find a doctor who is actually trained and certified to do everything that is necessary to achieve the perfect results that these types of doctors only speak of but do not achieve. To summarize, in my case, simply removing the fat did not lead to perfect results. For me, it would have been proper to have the excess skin removed. It would have also been proper for Dr. Weiss to be truthful by telling me that and turning me away.

Dr. Weiss and his staff are the most competent group of professionals I've ever dealt with. My procedure and recover were explained in detail and personal attention was provided throughout the entire process. I would like to thank Dr. Weiss and his staff again for an enjoyable experience and remarkable outcome.

I had upper and lower blepharoplasty - removing the bags under my eyes and puffiness from upper lids - 6 months ago. I'm very happy with the results. I feel more confident and less self conscious in everyday life and at work. It's obvious that Dr. Weiss has tons of experience and is an expert at what he does. I think he focuses on trying to minimize swelling and bruising after the procedure. His staff was very friendly and supportive. In the days after my procedure I was able to call and talk to them, and text/email pictures so they could tell me that everything looked ok and ease my anxiety. Having someone make incisions on your face is scary, but I knew I was ok because of Dr. Weiss' level of expertise, and I'm very happy with my results!
