- UltrasoundDisease build-up of cholesterol plaque in your carotid and femoral arteries will be evaluated using innovative, non-invasive ultrasound technology called Carotid Intima Medial Thickness Scans (CIMT) showing cholesterol, calcium, and deposition of deleterious oxidized chemicals in your arteries.

- Ulcer5. "In Thailand, I called Dr. Weinberg and complained to him of severe abdominal pain. After questioning me on the phone, he tentatively diagnosed a bleeding ulcer. After four hours, he located an international, English speaking hospital for me. After 7 days in the intensive care unit, with private nursing around the clock and good doctors that came to see me, I was able to return to America following a major gastrointestinal blood transfusion, which required ten pints of blood. Thanks to Dr. Weinberg I made it home without a catastrophe. My wife and I are totally convinced that Dr. Weinberg's daily watching me 'like a hawk' in Thailand, saved my life."....Jerry
