I just found out about the passing of Dr Weiss. He did my lasik years ago and I could finally see perfectly. He was kind as well as most talented. I'm very sad as we have lost a wonderful and talented person. My heart goes out to family.

Such a shock and what a loss. He will be missed. He was so vibrant and such a talented doctor. Dr. Weiss did my cataract surgery in 2014. Because of his expertise, I see now without glasses. He was so nice---just adored him. My condolences to his family.
