Dr. Weber was incredible! I had been to 2 different ortho doctors and multiple physical therapists before seeing her, none of them could tell me what was wrong with my knee. One ortho said he noticed nothing abnormal on my MRI and the other thought it was Hoffa's syndrome, but not terribly aggravated. It took Dr. Weber only minutes to discover that I had patellar tendinopathy.

I knew I wasn't crazy like the other orthos suggested, it felt good to finally have some validation. She answered a multitude of my questions before I even asked them (I had about 20 written down). She was very interested in everything I had to say, as well as very thorough with trying to pin down exactly what I did to cause the injury and what motions caused me pain.

I had gone into the visit wanting a PRP injection, as nothing else had worked. She was very persistent with her questioning on previous methods of attempted treatment, PT, cortisone injections, knee brace etc... Because PRP is not on the frontline of knee treatment protocol. She easily could've just given me what I wanted and taken my money for the injection. (which was $750 out of pocket as insurance deems the treatment "experimental") Instead, she made sure I was comfortable and had completed all of the prerequisites.

I asked her if she would suggest the PRP as the next step in my line of treatment and she said yes. We proceeded onward, she was very comforting, knowledgeable and precise. I could tell I was in great hands and I felt very hopeful about my treatment.

After the procedure I bombarded her with even more questions, all of which she was delighted to answer. I must've spent two hours or more with her directly. You can tell she has a passion for finding the causes of a patient's ailments and working with them to fix the situation.

I have been dealing with my knee issues for over a year now, and many times I've gotten my hopes up, only to be let down by "experts" claiming to be at the top of their respective fields. As such, I had been left with a very hard to convince attitude and very high standards. Dr. Weber not only met all of my expectations, she exceeded them amazingly. I look forward to seeing her in the future as I rehab my knee, and for any other orthopaedic issues that may arise. Her assistant was professional and thorough as well.

My entire experience with Dr. Weber and Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush was incredible and inspiring. Her and her staff deserve the highest of praise!
