William Deweese's Online Review Report Card

Dr Deweese is a genius. I had back pain for 10 years, gradually getting worse. He was recommended by 3 neighbors and he was the only neurosurgeon I knew.. He looked at my myelogram, and saw the problem,. "I can fix that" and he did. Surgery was nominal. When the surgery pain resolved I was pain free fo years. In my last appointment with him, post surgery, he held out his hand and asked if I could kick it with my last leg. I did. He said, you are better, go home.

There is not enough room to say what a Brilliant and Knowledgeable Dr He is. I started out taking my son to him for surgeries. My son has Hydrocephalus and Cerebral Palsy he is now 33 years old and Dr Deweese over the years has done several very successful surgeries. He has also done 3 of my surgeries 2 on the Lower Back and one on the Neck. If anyone is need of surgery I would highly recommend him.

Disregard obviously fake comments about this doctor. Bill Deweese is the best or one of the best in the Tampa area. Lucy Love, Maniscalco, and Deweese are the only ones that other doctors would have operate on them. Seriously. Deweese corrected a botched surgery by Castellvi ( Florida Orthapedic ) and did another nice operation on my back later on. I am back lifting weights and skiing, hiking, everything where the others said my life would change. Deweese is old school and will remind you to get your ass walking 3 miles or so every day after surgery. He is basically right. But the guy is well known with all hospital staffs and ask THEM who they would want cutting on them. Thats a good start. Nothing but admiration for this man and never once heard of a bad surgery. Some are overweight, smokers, poor shape, ect., and they expect miracles from anyone. Too bad he is not younger ......................may need him again down the road. The choices are fading. A+ all the way.

I first met this man while I was in Saint Joseph's Er with debilitating lower back pain the attending Doctor asked him to evaluate me as he was there ...First thing he did was get me out of pain got a MRI and promptly admitted me for more test ...I had surgery at l1 4 yrs earlier and it failed he tried to keep me out of surgery with a nerve block it lasted 24 hrs so he went in and fixed it and no problems since.....In 2004 I went to him after getting no help with sudden onset headaches that caused a dissection of my carotid artery twice in a year ....His explanation was my neck was cracking and I needed surgery ...It went awesome no neck pain no headaches even with instrumentation I still have 90% movement in my neck .....He is and will remain my Neurosurgeon any time I need one Steve Knox Tampa,Florida

Dr. Deweese is a magician. His work on my L3, 4, 5 ended over a year of severe, disabling pain. He has many years of experience. Two neighbors used him for neuro issues. They raved. I'm raving. No pain. And with a new pain issue Dr Deweese examined me, had me do some jumping and other things. Then declared that no surgery was warranted. I will use Dr. Deweese for any neuro pain. Also, he is fun to be around.

I have known this wonderful man since I was born. He implanted a VP Shunt into my head just three days old. He has always been there for me and my family over the past 27 almost 28 years. In 2010 I got really sick to my condition since birth. Over a period of nine months I had over ten surgery trying to fix my shunt problems between him and another doctor. What can I say it was a very complex case. Finally, in December of that year he took a huge step to test my body to see if, I still needed the shunt and amazingly I did not need it anymore. He is amazing because he never once gave upon trying to help me. I would most assuredly recommend him to anyone. Not only do I consider him an awesome doc, I consider him like a member of my family and because of his gifted hands I'm the man, I am today.

No-nonsense straightforward honest. Practices at UCH. Smart and pleasant too.Very Helpful with other physician referrals. Caring post surgery visit. Very positive upbeat attitude.

Dr. DeWeese is a wonderful doctor. He is the best neuro surgeon in Tampa and the state of Florida. I would travel from anywhere to be his patient. I trust him completely and know that he will only prefer surgery if you absolutely have to have it. He is the best!

Dr. Deeweese operated on me for operations on lower back, C-5-6, C-6-7, and L1-2for lower back. He was aways professional and informative. Better yet, he was always able to solve the problem! I would trust him. Elvin Phillips, Esq.

I had an epidural hematoma from a severed artery caused by a skull fracture. I was knocked out and taken to University Community Hospital. Luckily Dr. Deweese was on site and performed emergency surgery on me to save my life. I didn't get to meet him until the next day but he always seemed very concerned for my health and recovery. I have since gone in to see him 3 times for follow-ups and headache issues. Dr. Deweese and his staff have always been so nice and helpful. If it wasn't for him I may not be alive to write this reveiw.
