Dr. Wier is a great psychiatrist, but I will be leaving his care due to his receptionist. She has called me names, been not just short but flat out rude and insensitive, and has gone so far as to hang up on me without ever asking why I was calling. I have never met someone that treated people with such disregard in my entire life. She has no business being in the health care industry, especially one that deals with people that are already unstable. It seems as if her sole goal is make people cry or snap. She will not connect... read more

I have been seeing Rex Weir since 1996, which is a couple of years ago. He is very caring and respects that God gave me good brains and a facility for using them. He has gotten me through dangerous depressions and terrible times. I have also seen him on the "check in twice a year" basis where we review medicines and activities and laugh together about life and the world. I trust him. I too separate psychotherapy and medication management treatments in my life. I gave both practitioners a release to talk to each other if they... read more

I am more thankful than ever – An excellent psychiatrist, and wonderful man, who has helped me survive some really awfully difficult times these five or more years, including two serious physical injuries from which my body bounced back much more quickly than some M.D.'s expected (including burn specialists). He has allowed me to move at own pace, while always ready to verbally acknowledge any thoughts or actions moving me in directions I already know I woulod do better to take. I am very grateful my psychologist (Dr. M.) re... read more

A PHENOMENAL MAN – Why is it that negative, bitter, hostile, bored, and vindictive people ALWAYS write reviews? Every enjoyable restaurant, bar, coffee house, salon, and business gets horrible reviews from grumbling patrons that will never be satisfied or content with anything or anyone. Dr. Weir is a genuine caring professional. He listens and cares. The man saved my marriage and helped me through a difficult period of depression. Dr. Weir is INCREDIBLE.

Amazed At What I Am Reading! – I've been seeing Dr. Wier since 2000 and would drive across country if need be to continue seeing him. He is not the first, just the best! I clearly understand the definition of a psychiatrist and yes they're physicians who specializes in psychiatry and the treatment of mental disorders. This next part is important, so please pay careful attention.. All psychiatrists are trained in diagnostic evaluation as well as psychotherapy, but they're doctors, therefore they can prescribe medication. A ps... read more

Despicable – I don't even know where to begin- From reading the previous entries concerning Dr. Wier- it seems that many people are unsure of what, exactly a psychiatrist even is. Here is the definition of a psychiatrist from the Wikipedia entry of the same name: A psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in psychiatry and is certified in treating mental disorders.[1] This next part is important, so please pay careful attention.. All psychiatrists are trained in diagnostic evaluation AND IN PSYCHOTHERAPY. Please reread th... read more

Experience, Compassionate Psychiatrist – Dr Wier is a great psychiatrist! I personally believe that you should separate the two positions: have a psychiatrist who is not your therapist. Dr. Wier's expertise are in pharmacology in my opinion and when working in conjunction with my therapist / psychologist which he does, then I get the best treatment possible. Anyone who thinks that #1 you should let just 1 person mandate what powerful psychoactive drug you should take based on an hour and your vague descriptions of how you mi... read more

Treat Yourself! – My 17 year old daughter was given every medicine for anxiety you can imagine for her to "try", many times resulting in severe physical responses that left her sick and missing school for days. He just seemed willing to try anything without giving her any indication as to side effects for proper dosage amounts. She was in charge of deciding how much she should take - yes - a 17 year old! Her original doctor was not on our insurance so we had to change - but we know what a good doctor is like and even though ... read more

Physician that takes the time to listen – Dr. Wier is the most knowledgeable Austin psychiatrist about current medications and their prescribing protocols. Most physicians prescribe the drug of the last Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Representative that visited their office! NOT DR. WIER, he takes the time to learn about the patient's history and symtoms to prescribe the most affective medications. He knows about all the medications and their contraindications with other drugs the patient maybe taking and/or any additional pat... read more
