William T. Weiss, MD

My husband passed away in 2011 and about 5 years earlier he had quadruple by pass surgery. We were relatively new patients under the care of William T. Weiss and when my husband was in surgery Dr. Weiss sat in the waiting room with me the entire time. He probably doesn't remember that but I have never forgotten that kindness. BTW- I was meeting my brother at the "gym" at Baptist Memorial Hospital East to be his exercise buddy - he had exercised there for years after heart surgery. When my husband starting having problems I asked the nurses there to look at the list of providers our health insurance covered and these nurses picked Dr. Weiss out for us. Hands down, he was their favorite.

My MDVIP physician is William T Weiss, MD of Memphis, Tennessee. I have known Dr. Weiss, as my physician, a number of years even before he joined MDVIP.. He has taken care of my needs from not just a medical standpoint, but through kindness, thoughtfulness, education and encouragement. Kindness through the loss of family members. Thoughtfulness through changes in life as I have grown older. Educationally, as well through the Newsletters that are shared or when I’ve read about new procedures or medications available now . I have contacted him multiple times over the years as a patient with chronic pain from a back injury in 2005. His encouragement to stay physical after the injury and suggestions for different avenues to assist in my pain like acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy helped me through 8 half marathons. I can hear him say, “it certainly wouldn’t hurt to give it a try”. At my annual physical every year he truly seems excited when he goes over my reports and bloodwork. The past several years almost every category, I seem to improve in each year, and I feel his enthusiasm as he says, “you’re looking great, just continue what you’ve been doing because it’s really working for you”. I’m so thankful for Dr. Weiss and the MDVIP program. I appreciate him being there for me and for actually listening to my concerns. My family and I look for to however many years we may have in the future with Dr. William T. Weiss and his staff. 

This isn't a story but an impression of Dr. Weiss. He is extraordinarily conscientious and highly intelligent with excellent all round judgement and especially with anything to do with medicine or illness. He is always nearly instantly available by phone or email and always responsive with superb advice concisely delivered. When a patient has a life threatening condition he covers all the bases with precision and speed and in our experience has always attended us personally in serious emergencies. He is connected to the best doctors in their fields (in practically every specialty) and has access to them quickly because he is so highly respected. He is the type person you want for a good friend and the best imaginable physician to oversee the health and wellbeing of a family. 

Dr Weiss knows me well, my quirks and fears and is patient, kind, compassionate and such a good doctor. He listens to me, actually listens to me abd is available when I need him. I'm thankful for Bill Weiss.
