Dr Wieshmann has treated me since I was a teenager. He has always given me reassurance, treated me with compassion and helped in every way possible. Through my most difficult times and the better, changes in medication and changes/alterations with my epilepsy itself. I have always felt supported, heard, understood and safe in the knowledge that if there was something, anything, that could be done to help my condition he would find it. I have only today found out that he has moved on from Walton and Renacres and after 27 years I am devastated that I won’t be seeing him again given that he has known my history and struggles. Having said that I am also v v lucky that I had a single consultant for so long and know that inevitably things can’t remain the same forever. I wish him the best wherever he has gone or with whatever he is doing. He really did help me with my epilepsy. I know that not all Consultants take the time to review historical records for many reasons including time and other pressures and I can only hope I am lucky enough to be allocated a Neurologist of the same calibre moving forward.

A very compassionate and competent doctor. He took a lot of time to assess me, explain and listen to both me and my carer. He was thoughtful and did not dismiss or belittle my symptoms in anyway as other neurologists have done before.

I cannot fault Dr Wieshmann. He has been amazing. He has been treating my son who has been very ill after having a brain tumour and extensive brain surgery as a child. His knowledge and care and attention are second to none. I would highly recommend him. One of the best consultants we've seen in over twenty years.

This man did not look at my list of symptoms, refused to answer any questions. He either stared blankly at me or answered 'I know' to a yes or no question. He asked no relevant questions himself. His examination was merely a test of my reflexes and a look in my eyes then he said he can't help. I asked who could and re replied 'yes, yes'. Evasive. I asked ' Are you telling me there is no-one in the NHS who can treat me?' He replied yes. Hes lying. Then he had the nerve to ask if I was reassured and would I get out of my wheelchair and walk out of his office, as though his patronising dismissive attitude had cured me! He knew I was not capable of doing that. I told him I would be better paying privately for a Dr who knows what he was doing. He said Drs would take advantage if I was paying (He does private work and is one of them). I went home furious and in more pain than before I went for the appointment. I told a friend how I'd been treated and she said Weishmann treated her just as badly a few years ago. Under no circumstances should this man be trusted. He is cold and patronising and has no interest in helping patients or even explaining anything to them!
