Dr. Howard D. Weaver, DO - Orlando, Florida

Tammy P.

There are not enough words to express my appreciation for Dr. Weaver and his team! I got my daughter in with him a couple of years ago and immediately moved my whole family to his practice. She has multiple health issues and you could not find a more caring doctor, nurse, or front office team if you tried!! It’s one thing to have a doctor like him for myself, but to have him for my children is a gift. He actually listens AND cares! And a huge shout out to his nurse and front office team! They deserve 10 stars!!!

Dr Weaver (and Dr Albers) are wonderful. Very happy that they are my general physician. For reference, 38 year old athletic male. If you can get Dr. Weaver, you won't be disappointed.

In Dr. Weaver I have found a doctor I can speak openly with that listens to my concerns, and shows empathy and understanding. When I visit his office, I never feel he is trying to rush me in and out. He is relaxed and listens to me. Yes, calling on the phone can be challenging at times, but, once you are a patient, you can join the online Portal and have access to him via email. He might not answer right away (I wouldn't expect him to since he is seeing patients), but usually within 24 hours, sometimes less than that. Instead of having me come for appointments for every little thing (I do live pretty far away, so I am thankful), Dr. Weaver is excellent in personally reading and answering my messages with any concerns I may have and, tries to only schedule me to come into the office when necessary. Recently, I have had to adjust some medications and he communicated with me via the Portal and asked questions and listened to how I am feeling. Then he adjusted the meds accordingly. His office is quick about phoning in prescriptions as well. The fact that I live 30 miles away and still go to him makes it obvious I am happy with his practice and, his medical skills and knowledge. I also like that instead of farming me out to places that do blood work and other simple tests (like so many doctors do today), he does a lot of this stuff in-house. He even removed a lipoma from me right in the office once, a surgery for which most PCP doctors would refer you to someone else. I can go for a check up and have my urine and blood work done right there instead of making unnecessary trips all over town to other medical testing places. All in all, I am very happy with my experiences over the years with Dr. Weaver.

This review has to do more with the staff. Every time my husband goes to the office the staff is different. He has been trying to get an MRI that Dr Weaver ordered done for the past month. The staff never answer the phone and when they do is with an attitude. Unfortunately, we will be looking for another physician. Having the wrong staff can destroy a doctor’s office.

I'm traumatized! This doctor bolted in the room screaming at me because I was quietly crying for not having the money to pay $150, his charge for him to fill out paperwork (5 short questions), required for me to try to start a lawsuit abroad, so hopefully one day I'll be able to get some money from the people that caused my accident (which left me disabled and paralyzed from the neck down with severe PTSD). He knew all of that, as he he had seen me before, and still he screams and yells at me for crying? By the way I had the money, which I took from my medications and physical therapy treatment instead. I paid his fees, in shock, and took the paper with me - just to have the lawyer toss it out the window because the stuff he wrote on it was completely inaccurate! so I had to go to another provider who never charged me a penny and it's still my primary doctor. As others have mentioned, nobody ever answers the phone, they make you wait hours and hours on end, they do not even ask how you're doing while you're waiting the tiny little waiting room, uncomfortable and in pain, there's nobody you can talk to, no water no bathroom and no cell phone signal , ever, completely uncaring. At the time I had difficulty finding a doctor that would take my insurance but luckily I did and now I have Medicare. Dr Weaver does not deserve to have a license!

I have been coming here for over 10 years and Dr. Weaver has been great. Now that they use a portal he is very responsive to questions and refill requests. I have no complaints.

I really like doctor Howard Weaver, but i have to give a 1 star review due to office staff and how communication or scheduling appointments is set up. This is the worst office experience i have ever encountered. Yes they are friendly when you are there- but to make an appointment is impossible and takes forever. When you call, no one ever answers the phone, you have to leave a message with Sarah. When i do this, i usually don't hear back for a day sometimes two.
Currently I am out of a prescription and i need to make an appointment. I have left two messages in two weeks on Sarah's answering machine, and have not heard back. I am planning to go in on Monday to make an appointment in person. It really shouldn't have to come to this.

Another stressful experience I had prior to this issue was the process i went through to see a breast surgeon. I thought I was all set up, but when i went to the specialist (2 hour drive) 30 minutes before my appointment the receptionist informed me my doctor needed to confirm this appointment. Both myself, my husband and the receptionist were calling (i even emailed them) to try to get a confirmation from Dr. Weaver. Of course, because no one at this office answers the telephone, it was looking like i not get that confirmation and thus, not be covered by my insurance for that visit. We were all literally blowing up their phone line, and thankfully got an answer just moments before my scheduled appointment.

This is not okay. Especially regarding making an appointment, it should not be this difficult. This is a small clinic, there is no reason you cannot answer a telephone or get back to people in a timely manner.
Once i have my surgery to have a lump removed, I will be finding a new doctor and new clinic that is more responsive and easy to make appointments with.

DO NOT TRUST DR WEAVER!!! MEDICAL MALPRACTICE IS IN THE WORKS. Dr Weaver spent several months “jamming” a catheter in my farther, while my father screamed in pain and spent months urinating blood. Dr Weaver neglected the true root of health concerns which resulted in extreme UTIs. My father suffered memory loss thanks to Dr Weaver’s lack of concern and malpractice. My father spent months in the hospital followed by months in rehab, hallucinating, miserable, discombobulated, all thanks to Dr Weaver (and team). Dr Weaver is a horrible human and an unreliable health professional. My father’s health declined quickly thanks to Dr Weaver’s mistreatment, misdiagnosis, neglect, unprofessionalism and MEDICAL MALPRACTICE!! My father’s mistreatment resulted in neglect to other symptoms indicating cancer. My father is now passing. Dr. Weaver and team should not be trusted! A medical malpractice suit is sure to follow.
