I was diagnosed in 2019 with a small Acoustic Neuroma. I first saw Dr. Wiet when he was at Rush and he took a very conservative approach with having me rescan in 6 months and then every year after to see if there is any growth. When he moved to Northwestern, I naturally followed him because of how knowledgeable he is about Acoustic Neuromas and also his conservative approach. I continue to have no growth so far each year when I have my rescan. He has always made me feel comfortable with my options and supports my decision to continue to watch and rescan. I can't recommend Dr. Wiet enough.

He is an expert in his field, there is no doubt about that. It took me 2.5 years to find him and I feel blessed to have him as my doctor. Through my complicated medical situation he has referred me to the top people in the field. The vestibular therapists that I am working with that he referred me to are amazing.
