David Weeks, MD

Wonton girl nailed it. David Weeks rushed in, didn’t listen during an annual exam, charged me for an office visit by lying about what we talked about in his doctors notes (his office told me one «diagnosis» while telling me another, NEVER examined any part of my body for the fake diagnoses, and generally didn’t care that I was there or not. His advice is always a pat lose weight.
And he completely missed the cancer on my nose!
This, from the man who told an intern that I was ignorant to refuse a flu shot as if I wasn’t sitting right in front of him.
He’s gotten much worse in the last few years. He shouldn’t be practicing any more.

Rushed me, did not listen to my concerns, careless. That is how I would describe doctor I went to visit to do my annulal check up 6 months ago.

Great doctor! He treats me, my husband, and my parents. We always receive excellent care.

This visit has made me strike ARC off my list of doctors to go to in Austin, TX.
I went in for an annual physical.
1) The doctor that I saw, David Weeks, seemed like the Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. «I’m late, I’m late.». It felt so rushed and as soon as I got in. I know they have other patients to see but feeling this rushed does not make me have any confidence. My visit with the doctor was about 20 minutes. The trust factor was never gained in my visit.
2) I get the bill in the mail about 3 weeks later and on top of an annual visit, this office charged an office visit. I asked my friend who is a nurse and she said it is legal but shady since I was only really there for an annual physical exam. They really should only bill for an annual exam. If I went there with a cold, it would be a different story.
3) I left multiple voicemails for the accounting management at ARC to call me back and I did not receive one call back.
They have lost a customer for life.

Don’t let the reviews deter you from using Dr. Weeks. Although the office seemed pretty busy, He, Heather, his assistant, and another medical intern were very good thorough. Very professional and I would recommend them to my friends and family

Dr. Weeks was knowledgeable, thoughtful, thorough, and quick. Listened to my concerns, raised issues, made inquiry where necessary to clarify, answered my questions, and addressed my health issue. He was also kind and personable. I recommend him.

I went in for a standard physical with Dr. Weeks on 12-​6-​2013. On 12-​7-​2013 ARC Billed my insurance company full price for the annual physical (no charge to me) then added an ADDITIONAL charge for «office visit» and sent me a bill on 1-​25-​2014. They attempted to hide the fact that they already were paid for the visit by my insurance company on the bill and listed that the «office visit» had an «insurance discount.» In essence, they are double billing. VERY shady! I called ARC to have this corrected, and I waited on hold for 20min. The billing agent said this would be corrected. A month later I received another bill asking for the $ 86.90 for the «office visit» fee that was tacked on. Multiple calls have been unable to correct this. I am now filing a complaint with the Texas Medical Board, because ARC and Dr. Weeks ethics are severely lacking!

Dr weeks is rushed and does not fully listen to concerns. On a recent visit he wrote 5 scripts barely hearing out concerns. Nasal congestion for 36h diagnosed as a sinus inf and handed a script. Not even close to established treatment guidelines in diagnosing sinusitis.
He did not explain what each script was for — uri vs tx of gout.
We will not see him again.

Dr. Weeks is always sympathetic, knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. I highly recommend him.

I’m between Katie C. And Jason C. on this one. I’ve been to see Dr. Weeks twice now and each time I have not been completely satisfied. He is a nice enough man, indeed, but I’ve not spent more than 10 minutes in his office each time I was there. Also, each time he had a resident student with him. I just don’t feel he asked me enough questions or explored enough options before referring me to another expensive doctor or PT. Though probably not intentional on his part, he still made me feel as if I was a pit stop on his way somewhere else. I’m still in pain and now I’m into ARC for hundreds of dollars in medical bills and I still don’t know what’s wrong, I’ll probably try to find a new, more patient and thorough doctor… once I pay these ridiculous doctor bills.

Don’t get me wrong; Dr. Weeks isn’t bad. But the if the two stars means «Meh. I’ve experienced better,» then two stars is right-​on.
He is very friendly and personable, which I really like. He’s very much an «If it isn’t broke, don’t medicate it,» philosophy, which I think is important.
What I wish he’d done is ask more questions. I was there for a few different ailments (joint pain, allergies, possible eye infection). He did suggest I take Ibuprofin for the pain, and benedryl for the allergies. He also asked me several times if I had questions for him, and if we were good before leaving the room. All of this I appreciated.
When I left though, I kept thinking that he didn’t ask me enough about the joint pain. The Ibuprofin would certainly help for the majority of it, but my knee specifically was a separate/​additional issue, which I did say, but he breezed over it.
I WILL see him again in the future. He’s with the Austin Regional Clinic (ARC), which makes it super convenient to make appointments (though I’m not a fan of the clinic set-​up itself, see my post there).

Dr. Weeks is *good*. REALLY good.
He’s one of two doctors I’ve had in my life who actually remember the two things I do as my life’s work (music/​weather); and it really makes points with me when I go in to visit and he asks how things are going with my music and if I’ve seen any good storms recently!
When I’ve gone in and something has been seriously wrong — Dr. Weeks is on top of it. On the occasions when I’ve had to see another doctor, he makes a follow-​up call to make sure whatever they diagnosed and prescribed is working. To me, that’s the sign of a doctor who is really committed to his patients. Dr. Weeks is compassionate and concerned — very much a first-​rate doctor.

My entire experience at ARC was crappy, and while it’s not all Dr. Weeks’ fault, he certainly didn’t help.
I needed to see a specialist for an elbow injury, and ARC’s nurse practitioner on call suggested I see a GP so he can order up some x-​rays or other pertinent tests. Despite my skepticism, I booked the appointment. Fast forward to this morning: 15 minutes of waiting in various lines, lobbies, and rooms (not bad compared to the norm at ARC, actually!), and Dr. Weeks shows up and spends a mere 2 minutes evaluating me. Doesn’t even prompt me for a history of the arm or any detailed questions, so I have to do the leg work in telling him relevant information. Then, in his moment of glory, he makes a House-​caliber prognosis: an anti-​inflammatory prescription and a trip to the PT. Seriously? A teenager could have made this kind of assessment.
Regardless of the procedures at ARC or the diagnosis, Weeks’ disposition was irritable and pretentious. «You might not realize how much you use your arm.» Really? You think I don’t know how much I use my fucking arm? I know you loathe seeing hypochondriacs and rhino virus patients all day, but give me a fucking break.
Probably OK for run-​of-​the-​mill doctor visits, but a lame-​o for anything else.

Face to face time is rushed in this busy office, but he gets the job done thoroughly and fast. He’s been attentive every time I’ve seen him, and he actually makes eye contact (unlike other doctors at Austin Regional Clinic). I normally hate seeing male doctors, but he is by far the most compassionate general practitioner I have ever had. And his nurse, Amy, is awesome, too!
