I became a surgeon for one reason to provide compassionate, personal care to every patient every time.

Dr. Weaver often states:
“I love people, and caring for them as a surgeon is an honor and a privilege—but that does not define me. I am defined by how my family sees me, by my role as a father and husband, and most importantly by my life as a Christian.”
Dr. Weaver is deeply grateful to his family, community, patients, nurses, staff, teachers, attending surgeons, and colleagues who have continually taught, challenged, and inspired him throughout his journey.
