A great person and the greatest doctor!
I moved to Carson City, Nevada over twenty years ago. I came here for a specific job. I asked a fellow employee who would be a good doctor for me and my family. She told me about Dr. Andrea Weed. What a blessing!
Dr. Weed is a doctor who teaches you about your own health and how to take responsibility for it at the same time she provides amazing medical care. Her sense of her role as your doctor is the perfect balance between empowerment for you as her patient and caring with cutting edge knowledge. She has empathy and invests herself in each patient while maintaining her professionalism. Over the years, I have noticed that she is the doctor that the medical community uses for their personal medical care, too. She is brilliant and always curious to learn what she does not know.
When our friends from our previous state were retiring and decided to settle in Carson City, we immediately told them about Dr. Weed and to see if they could be her patients, as well. They did. Her skill and pro-active approach to medicine detected two life changing issues that had not been identified by their prior medical professionals and could have altered their entire retirement plans.
One day, she will retire and I plan to bring her into my life as a friend, if she wishes to do so.
The best characterization of her is from fifteen years ago when she was in her previous office. I was there for a routine check-up and arrived a few minutes early. There was the doctor, elbow length rubber gloves on, cleaning the client bathroom. I said, " What are you doing?" She said," We all have to take a turn at the work to maintain this practice. I am on bathroom duty today." That is Dr. Weed. Someone who believes you share with her in her role as your doctor.
Kudos and massive thank yous to the best doctor!
