I found Dr. Weingart to be a warm, friendly, caring, and knowledgeable doctor.  He's also very tall, LOL.  During my appointment, he explained to me exactly what Chiari Malformation is, and he showed me on my MRI films where the herniation was located.

He did a thorough neurological exam, and then told me his recommendations.  He thoroughly explained the decompression surgery to my husband and me.  I can honestly say that I did not feel pushed or pressured in any way to have this surgery done.  Dr. Weingart left the decision up to me, as to whether or not I wanted to schedule the decompression surgery.

I left his office feeling entirely confident about Dr. Weingart's abilities, and I felt that I would be in good hands when I had the surgery done.  I knew that Dr. Weingart was the neurosurgeon I wanted to perform my surgery, because I felt that he was thoroughly educated and experienced with Chiari Malformation.

As I previously explained, here I am over 10 years later, and doing great.  When I started having neck and shoulder pain in 2001, I found out that I had a herniated disk in my neck between C6 and C7.  I went to physical therapy for awhile, but the pain persisted.  My regular doctor recommended that I call a neurosurgeon, and I never had a second thought about who to call.  I went to see Dr. Weingart, who was still very tall, and he didn't let me down.  In May of 2002, I had the herniated disk removed, and from the second I awoke from surgery, the horrible pain was gone.

So, to anyone who may be wondering about Dr. Weingart's abilities, the bottom line is, I highly recommend him.
