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.

I would have liked a more through explanation of the procedure.
My provider is wonderful!!! The only complaint I would have is not being able to speak to Dr. Weaver's nurse or MA. I would have to go thru scheduling and they "would send a message."
dr. weaver is great. he communicates and works with his patients.
He took time to make sure I knew what was going to happen. And made sure I was alright as it was happening.
overall good a bit rushed
Listened to my concerns and problems and address them all
Dr. Weaver is always very kind and listens to any issues I may have.
Doctor Weaver, out of the 17 doctors/specialists I've been to, him and one other doc have been incredible. Always trying to figure out new ways to help w/my chronic issue. Dr. Weaver listens, is compassionate, and most of all determined in trying to find a solution to alleviate my chronic pain. I value and trust him as my doctor.
Excellent.
Very informative & accommodating.
