About David C. Weir, M.D.
As a critical care physician I have the unique opportunity to care for patients when they are in most need of medical care. Working as a team with nurses and my fellow physicians we have the experience, expertise, and technology to provide the most up-to-date care for all of our patients. When patients are suffering from a critical illness, our goal is to provide the best care to ensure a rapid recovery and to restore the highest quality of life possible.
As a pulmonologist I have the opportunity to care for patients with a broad range of diseases that affect the lungs and chest. These include asthma, emphysema, pneumonia, and a host of other diseases that can cause breathlessness. During my fellowship training my research focused on inhibition of mucus production in airway cells, which is a major source of morbidity and mortality in patients with obstructive diseases of the lung. My goal is to work with patients to build an understanding of their disease process and construct a treatment plan to help them breathe easier.
Dr. David Weir has been with the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine since 2014. He provides inpatient care in the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) as well as outpatient care.
Dr. Weir started his medical training at Tufts University School of Medicine where he earned his M.D. He finished his residency training in internal medicine at New York University’s Bellevue Hospital and then went on to complete a fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
In addition to my clinical work I also spend time teaching medical students and resident physicians who are training to become the next generation of physicians.
