Dr. Heidi Weilbach, MD

Dr. Heidi Weilbach operated on my mother this week and although the surgery seems to have done my mother well, the experience was horrific. Heidi is very rude and lacks empathy when it comes to her patients. Her responses were cold and insensitive. She told my mother that Saturday (which was the day she would be operating on my mother).. that it made no difference whether she followed through with the surgery or not. “It is just another Saturday to me. I have to be here regardless” were her exact words. She was very demeaning and lackadaisical when it came to explaining certain things before and after surgery took place. Overall this experience was TERRIBLE! She makes the patient feel as though they are a bother to her, when it is simply her job. I was highly disappointed as well as disgusted to see this behavior in a hospital. I would NEVER recommend Heidi to anyone and if her attitude is going to continue being negative or dreadful I would suggest taking up another field.

Performed Diverticulitis surgery on me in 2020. Although she is obviously a very intelligent surgeon her manner of explanation and communication with the patient and loved ones leaves much to be desired. She tends to use many complex medical terms, without explanation. Also a bit confrontational when discussing details and when some specifics are asked. I hate to post negative reviews on anyone, especially someone in healthcare but she needs to remember that her Responses to an already difficult situation need to be handled with more care.

Absolutely horrifying experience with this doctor. She operated on me to remove my gallbladder when I clearly had other more severe issues with my liver. I nearly died within days of that surgery - because she ignored the very obvious condition and caused my liver to decompose radically. She should have paused and recommended a GI specialist review my condition. Additionally, she is cold and has the worst bedside manner I've ever encountered. Run, don't walk to the team at CMC Main.

Would absolutely tell ANYONE who wants the best ALL around surgeon in Mecklenburg County and surrounding areas...this is definitely the person you are looking for!!

Dr. Weilbach performed my robotic gall bladder surgery. She was wonderful. Attentive and explained the surgery fully so I knew what to expect.

Dr. Weibach helped me through trauma surgery, as I obtained an unexpected bacterial infection that could have taken my arm, let alone my life. She was fabulous in explaining all aspects of what I went through, and what to expect. She was available when needed, and her sense of humor brought me great comfort.
