David B. Weiss, MD

After finishing My Orthopaedic Trauma fellowship in 2005, I spent the next 5 years as the Medical Director for Orthopaedic Trauma at St Joseph Mercy Hospital, a level 2 trauma center in Ann Arbor, MI.  I was responsible for the management of complex trauma to the pelvis/acetabulum (hip socket) and badly injured bones near joints.  I also served as the Orthopaedic representative on the Trauma and radiology committees and ran the quality assurance program for the orthopaedic section. I have had a lifelong interest in teaching and education and am excited to help shape a formal Orthopaedic Trauma division at UVA Hospital.
