About Me
As a board-certified anesthesiologist and fellowship-trained interventional pain management specialist, I see patients with complex pain complaints.
Within the field of pain medicine, I am particularly interested in neuromodulation. Spinal cord stimulation specifically, is a treatment that has been successful with some of my toughest cases who weren’t able to find relief through other interventions.
Whether a patient’s pain is a result of trauma, injury, cancer or degenerative changes, it can significantly interfere with his or her quality of life. I do my best to apply my training to each and every challenge and together, with the rest of our dedicated spine team, help my patients find relief from their unusually unrelenting problems.
I love working here at Ohio State because I’m able to collaborate with other specialists from different fields to help find solutions, solve problems and deliver the best possible care.
When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my wife and two-year old daughter. I’m also an avid European soccer and Ohio State Buckeye fan.

Dr. Weaver is an excellent provider. We work together on my plan of care. OSU is blessed to have such a gifted, caring physician/surgeon!
Dr. Weaver is nice he makes sure you feel safe and comfortable to what's about to happen with the procedure . He even asked me if I want to wait to do the other side at a later date. He's all about making sure his Patients are comfortable nit to afraid he talks to you in a way that calms you down about what's going to take place. I just don't have enough words to describe how good he is with his Patients. And good at what he does as a Doctor. I can't I just don't have enough words to express how good I feel about Dr. Weaver. I am so glad God Blessed me with a good and caring Doctor.

Dr. Tristan Weaver is absolutely the best! His previous treatments have helped tremendously with my spinal issues and I am ecstatic to have the opportunity to receive further care from him.
Very caring and compassionate.
Very friendly and helpful
I spoke extensively about needing care for my back and neck and only received care for my neck. I was told that if I needed imaging for my back, I would need another appointment, and I cannot schedule one quickly enough. I will not receive adequate care or certainty that my back is in good condition before I have to return to work.
Dr Weaver was so kind and made me feel less apprehensive about my back pain. Worked with me to accommodate care with upcoming vacation.

Dr Weaver is always trying to help with my pain
Dr. Weaver is great, however I was told not to talk to him on procedure days about my concerns.
He was so kind! When you have chronic back pain you get used to doctor's immediately thinking you are a drug seeker. He really listened to what was going on with me. We walked through all the options and decided to start with an MRI since I had not had one taken in over two decades. His staff was in touch with me within two days of getting the results and had me in the office by the end. The results were not pretty. He patiently went over the results and referred me to a surgeon. Before I left the office that day he reviewed all my pain management options. I felt SEEN!

He was very knowledgeable about what he does and feels very good about helping me with the pain I'm in I haven't slept a good night since 2004 when I came down with Gillian beret syndrome
Our amazing great luck to find the most brilliant, wonderful and delightful pain specialist. Truly gifted in all ways. We felt joyful and hopeful. Dr. Weaver is a star and has our total trust and confidence.
The provider was very good at attending to my wants and needs.
He was concerned and offered several options.
Excellent skill at delivering epidural for spinal stenosis. He seems very RUSHED and I know patients were backed up waiting for their turn: but when the needle goes in, he is very FOCUSED and I've had no complications.
Could not ask for better care.
Dr. Weaver came in knowing my history. He was very nice, caring, empathetic and ultimately helped me find the problem.
Seen the provider once and then had to request him at the end. I felt I was not heard or my pain and concern was not taken as serious as it should. I was passed along onto the Medtronic rep.
My experience was excellent .
Listened, answered our questions and explained his responses.
Dr. Weaver is, in a word FABULOUS. I immediately knew that I was in the PERFECT HANDS regarding my issues, and felt such relief and positive hope under his care. Vast experience with doctors across the board, and this was an extraordinary first appointment in every way. Dr. Weaver is obviously brilliant at his specialty, but has special gifts beyond that are are priceless to a patient. Needless to say, I was buoyed by this--and still am, and I can't wait to further this care and association. He could not be more wonderful!!!
I think the procedure Dr. Weaver is doing is the right one for me. He explained it to me before we started and as we go along. If I have questions he explains it to me so that I understand it. I would definitely recommend Dr. Weaver to family & friends.
Very good.

Dr weaver was very helpful and the staff with him was courteous and helpful.
Everything was positive - when I was ready to have procedure dr. came in - He ask how I was doing & if I was ready for this - Ask if I had any questions, answer was no, he had explained it when it was first suggested I have this done. And I had read info he had suggested I get off the internet. It was very helpful.
Dr. Weaver was very attentive, listened without interruption and did not rush my visit! This visit was very refreshing. This office & staff should be an exemplar of how an office should be ran and how a patient visit conducted.
He is very kind!
Dr. Weaver has been my pain doctor for almost 7 years. He performs ablations on my spine about every 12 to 14 mths. I see Dr. Weaver every 3 months for pain consultation. Dr. Weaver is caring and is always concerned for my care. Whatever you pay him, it isn't enough. Never lose this doctor, he is one of the best you have on staff.
He did the procedure very accurately with very little pain. Was apologetic when I reacted to the needle he used. Of 3 different doctors who have done this procedure on me, he is far the best!!
I love all the doctors and all they continue to do to help me and my health. I will only go to OSU for my care.
All very good experiences.
Always friendly, good expertise with injection in spine answers questions, responsive.
Dr. Weaver waited to personable my oral pain medication until surgery on my back.
