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.

Procedure was not painful, minimal discomfort after
The best!
Excellent.
Dr. Weaver asked me to perform certain exercises and reviewed my MRI in order to determine the extent of my problem. He was very knowledgeable and thorough. I was very pleased.
Dr. Weaver was an exceedingly good doctor. He was very caring. Had great conversations w/my son since my hearing is pretty bad. He always make time for an epidural if I needed it & was very careful w/my medications.
I didn't ask how to <span class='highlight hasPHI'>spell</span> "Cofiel" so I called back to see if I could get the name of (or spelling of that procedure) so I could review it on-line. Overall, it was a beneficial visit because I learned of a couple new spinal procedures recently approved by Medicare....It was "good" to learn about the new procedures.
Dr. Weaver made sure to explain my needs.
Very good.
answered all of my questions and made a referral for me
Very helpful.
