    As a prior family physician, Dr. Weis brings a unique perspective to the highly technical field of modern-day spine surgery. Although many years of specialized training and practice have passed since his early days in medicine, Dr. Weis continues to offer comprehensive and personal care typified by a family physician to his sub-specialty practice.

    Practicing spinal surgery in the Lehigh Valley since 1995, he has an outstanding reputation as one of the most experienced, dedicated spinal surgeons in the region, particularly in the area of spinal fusions. His reputation has been built through personal attention to his patients and exceptional surgical results.

    Dr. Weis routinely treats disorders affecting the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. These disorders include degenerative conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis and deformities such as spondylolisthesis, adult scoliosis, fractures, and tumors.

    A particular interest is in the use of spinal instrumentation for spine fusions and minimally invasive spine surgery. He has received national recognition for research and publication in both of these areas. In addition, he has lectured nationally in regard to minimally invasive spine surgery techniques such as endoscopic spine surgery.
