I have known Dr weitzel for 4 yrs and I find him one of the most compassionate Drs in port Charlotte. There are times I have to wait to see him, but his wait times are less than any other Dr I see.

I read these reviews and was conflicted on seeing Dr Weitzel but my primary care Dr highly recommended him and I’m glad I didn’t listen to these reviews. The office is on the smaller side and the staff courteous and helpful. Dr Weitzel was polite very knowledgeable and my visit was better than expected. He’s direct and honest but u appreciate that. He even made time to speak to my wife. Overall very pleased and will continue seeing Dr Weitzel.

I’ve been a patient of Dr a Weitzels for almost four years now. Dr Weitzel and his staff have always tried going above and beyond and assisting in any issues or concerns I have. Dr Weitzel is direct and very open and honest. I’ve never heard him speak I’ll of anyone let alone his staff. He has always shown the most compassion to his patients and staff and every time I have an appointment his staff is celebrating or having fun. I believe there are people who you can never please and they leave these bad reviews. If they addressed their concerns with the office manage or Dr himself they would be taken care of reasonably. All of Dr Weitzels staff are well mannered and professional. To say anyone is fat or sloppy or easy is just disheartening and something I know he would never say. It is sad to see the reviews that are left especially the poor ones where people can hide from what they say. This doesn’t help the office, the staff, nor the Doctors. Please don’t go based on these bad reviews. If you want a good, caring, and compassionate Dr see Dr Weitzel. You won’t be disappointed.

Dr Weitzel is personable and caring. He has gone out of his way to help my mother. His staff is exceptional. I have had no issues with the office. I would highly recommend Dr Weitzel to anyone in need of a genuine and caring Urologist.

He is very personable with a great bedside manner. We would highly recommend him to anyone. He performed surgery (prostate) and followed up on a timely and courteous manner.

Dr Weitzel was not only exceptional but his staff was very impressive. From scheduling my appointment to the nurses providing extraordinary care i am happy to have found a Dr who makes a difference this days.

"Thank you Dr. Weitzel for giving me my life back. I just recently received a botox injection into my bladder and I am so happy to feel like myself again. My lifestyle is back to normal."

Our visits are very timely, the staff is very courteous and helpful, and Dr. Weitzel is a caring individual with good bedside manner and made my wife very comfortable. We highly recommend him and his staff.

New patient to Dr Weitzel and overall very pleased. The parking garage is an issue but the office has made every attempt to make that a smooth process. They even mail out a letter letting you know where to park and what to expect. Staff was pleasant. Dr Weitzel was attentive and has a great sense of humor. He loves to golf and he engaged with me and my wife. Very Happy and will be returning to him for care.

Dr. Witzel has a horrible administrative staff. Sometimes they’d charge and sometimes they wouldn’t. Sometimes they’d have my appointment logged sometimes they wouldn’t. Once they even called to tell me how to prep for surgery the next day when in fact I had a consult the following day, never needed or had surgery! Had a question for the office nurse and she refused after 5 follow-up calls to return my call. The Dr. himself seemed to be OK, but clearly was in denial about the professionalism of his staff. I even told my referring family physician about it and she conceded that shed heard the same thing from others. I left his care.

In February I had surgery to remove a large kidney stone. After a week of getting better, the pain got worse. Was told this pain was normal but it continued to get worse. I kept my apt and tried to explain the pain, but was told, “I did my job. If you continue to be in pain you need to see another doctor. You are no longer my problem.” I left crying and went straight to the ER and was diagnosed with mild right hydronephrosis and hydroureter. Don’t go see this dr, he only cares about quick money.

Presented to Weitzel with suspected UTI loss of kidney function shortness of breath. He said shortness of breath was covid. No uti. 48 hours later Im hospitalized with clots and impaired kidney function. Idk what happened to weitzel other than he doesnt have time for patients and his reputation at bedside is awful he seems devoted to insulting patients, Dr. Weitzel has helped me previously however the risk to my health is too great to continue. Disappointing waste of time Requested kidney labs, denied. The practice is too big, Dr too busy to listen to an existing established patient, He rubber stamped me on UTI and thats why Ill be presenting his practice with thousands in diagnostics to him. Nursing staff overworked. Proceed with extreme caution

Poor. Doctor is rough around the edges, but that's okay. Half the office staff is incompetent.

As posted by another patient, he is ignorant, rude, self centered and he believes he is God. Not only have comments been left about his employees, they dont know how bad he speaks about them being fat, dirty, sloppy and easy. He would be the last doctor on earth I would go to. The only reason he has patients is he is the hospital doctor and is next door to the hospital. If you go to Fawcett Hospital, ask for a different doctor.

"I met Dr. Weitzel through the Fawcett memorial Hospital's ER. I went to the ER with blood in my urine, and Dr. Weitzel was the on-call Urologist. His manner was gruff and condescending. I was released from the hospital with a diagnosis on a Urinary Tract Infection. Dr. Weitzel's office scheduled a procedure (cystoscopy) a week and a half after my release, and refused to see me any earlier. My diagnosed ..."

Poor office quality staff here looks like they want to bird box themselves and remove the blind folds.

This man has a very very poor bedside manner , very argumentative, does not listen to the patient, Thinks he is a know it all, and insulting. He is not afraid to come at your face and insult you. I would not recommend him to my worst enemy.

I met Dr. Weitzel through the Fawcett memorial Hospital's ER. I went to the ER with blood in my urine, and Dr. Weitzel was the on-call Urologist. His manner was gruff and condescending. I was released from the hospital with a diagnosis on a Urinary Tract Infection. Dr. Weitzel's office scheduled a procedure (cystoscopy) a week and a half after my release, and refused to see me any earlier. My diagnosed condition called for treatment with antibiotics. Dr. Weitzel refuse to prescribe them. He claimed that, since he did not see me in his office, but instead in the hospital, he could not prescribe medication. Dr. Weitzel was willing to let my infection go untreated for a week and a half. I was stunned. After several phone calls to Fawcett Memorial, I found someone who faxed a prescription for the appropriate antibiotics to my pharmacy. The day before the aforementioned, scheduled procedure, someone from Weitzel's office called me and threatened to cancel the procedure unless paperwork approving payment was received from the VA. It had been approved a week earlier. From day one Dr. Weitzel's behavior and attitude, as well as that of his staff, had been nightmarish to say the least. I write this review in the hope that it might spare some unsuspecting patient the nightmare I went through as a victim of Dr. Weitzel.
