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.

In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.

If you have questions about how these relationships are monitored by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, please contact our Compliance Office.
Dr. Weaver was unprepared for my appointment. He appeared not to have reviewed the reports of my care from other providers in the Comprehensive Spine Center that he referred me to. Dr. Weaver was not sure of the treatment that he himself had prescribed to me. I have been most disappointed by the lack of communication from the Comprehensive Spine Center, and the apparent lack of coordination of care and communication among team providers.
All good experience
I couldn't ask for a better doctor. Very professional, polite & knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone.
he listened to me & gave me options
Dr. Weaver always responds to messages on My Chart and helps me sort out source of my back pain from L 4-5 on SI joints.
Very personable and good.
Dr. Weaver is a caring and compassionate doctor.
