Dr Weiss should not be in practice. He has caused more harm, damage and psychological trauma than anyone should be allowed to. I'm not alone in my story, it's scarily common in my area. So many of his ex patients had the same disgusting experience. I trusted him for too long, despite his lack of empathy, care or regard to best practice. Under his "care" was overmedicated (above therapeutic guidelines) and subjected to years of ECT that left long lasting cognitive dysfunction. He never questions why his methods don't work for an individual or looks beyond how he sees patients. I was "untreatable" and given labels that didn't even fit my symptoms. He continued to give more drastic levels of "treatment" for conditions, that I found out years later, I never had. Psychiatrist's aren't god, yet he acts like he is. I was terrified of him, and I was vulnerable. He still looks after the adolescent patients and lies to their desperate parents. Please, explore other alternatives, or be prepared to advocate to be treated with respect and care. He has no bed side manner and won't even listen to what you say. If there's another way, save yourself the money and the heartache.

I was at an inpatient facility where Dr Weiss misdiagnosed me and pumped me full of medications that eventually led to a severe psychotic episode, the first one in my whole life. He repeatedly told me my previous diagnoses (autism & adhd) were false, despite me telling him I adamantly believe them. I think this is due to misogyny, as I am a young woman, and he claimed I MUST have bipolar. Well, the meds he prescribed for this apparent bipolar disorder ended up making me psychotic 6 months later. I feel incredibly taken advantage of, it felt as though he was over medicating me because he was after money. He was rude to me and my mother at every turn and I never felt respected by him. I felt as though I had to fight to be heard or have my perspective on my own brain listened to. DO NOT TRUST HIM.

My child sees Dr Weiss, we are now looking for a new psychiatrist as he never seems to remember who you are, what he has previously prescribed or what treatments he has already tried. He always has his laptop between you typing away he not great at conversing. My child is trying to come off some medications but DR Weiss constantly increases the dose when it is not wanted or warranted. Also appointments seem to be getting shorter and shorter in time but still cost the same.

I was misdiagnosed and put on harmful meds by him for 10 years. He’s judgmental and created issues in my interpersonal relationships to create a gross negative feedback cycle of relying on private hospitalisation and meds that we’re making me worse. He was also never on time for appointments.

My son has been seeing Dr Weiss for 8 years now and is receiving excellent treatment

Misdiagnosed and given over 40 different medications over the course of the 10 years I was seeing him from ages 13-23 that absolutely ruined my physical and mental health. Did not listen to me at all, only wanted to get money out of me and push medication down my throat and coerce me into ECT and TMS as a young female. I won’t ever forgive this Doctor for giving me a completely incorrect and different diagnosis and taking the best years of my life from me even though myself, my family and his own colleagues always said I didn’t have the diagnosis he gave me.

I believe this man saved my sons life. I am so gratefully for everything Dr Weiss has done for us. As a mother dealing with a child with a significant mental health issue he has been comforting and reassuring and he has providing my child a safe space to speak openly about his mental state without judgement. We have met with many complications along the way and he has never left me with unanswered questions and he always had a plan B. He always remembers where we are up to with my sons treatment and the details of what he and my son have discuss in their private conversations.
I will forever be thankful for every single person in his office and I highly recommend him to anyone who has a child that is suffering.

I chose this Dr as he apparently specialized in adolescent and family Psychiatry. I found as a parent seeking help for my depressed child still in high school this Dr poorly managed my child's care and I felt his judgment of me and was unsupportive to me as a parent (I am a Mental Health Professional) - I left feeling awful after the one brief meeting I was allowed in to see him while present with my child. I felt a wedge was then instilled between my child and myself. He put my child on an antidepressant then increased the dosage by double soon after as there was no improvement. My child felt drugged and couldn't think at school. I had to monitor and decide when to return and made an appointment whereby, couldn't get an appointment for a while. By that stage my child stopped the medication. I coaxed my child back to see this Dr. He started another antidepressant and a month later the appointment was cancelled by receptionist. Finally got another appointment and then yet again increased the new medication to double the dosage. My child was so drugged by this stage trying to do major exams. He couldn't think. He went off the meds again. Consequently from this experience my child has not sort any help for the depression and anxiety for many years - suffering dreadfully. As a parent I've had to monitor and be the health professional. In reflection all those years ago with this meeting that was briefly offered to myself I felt this Dr displayed poor family communication skills - blaming myself for my child's circumstances - in front of my child of 16. Fortunately my child after 8 years is now alive and seeking help for his MH and on minimal medication, seeing a helpful GP (this can be rare) and a psychological support which is helping enormously. We have to get it right for the initial treatment for young people as they can very easily become a unnecessary statistic. My child (grown now) is still vulnerable and hopefully will continue to find helpful professionals that are skilled, empathic and supportive with adequate follow up. From a Loving Mother
