About
A summer job of transporting patients at Memorial Hospital of South Bend, gave Travis D. Weaver, DO, an up-close look at the impact physicians had on patients. Always interested in science, that experience sealed his career choice. “I decided then that I wanted to work in medicine,” he says.
Dr. Weaver’s academic career began at Purdue University, West Lafayette, where he majored in health science. He then earned his Doctor of Osteopathy medicine degree from Midwestern University, Downers Grove, IL. An Internal Medicine Residency and Endocrinology Fellowship followed at NCC Walter Reed, Bethesda, MD.
“I’ve always been fascinated by how diet and exercise can impact health and well-being,” he says. “Diabetes is dramatically impacted by diet and exercise and that led to my initial interest in endocrinology.”
He explains that endocrinology deals with hormones, which are little signals the body makes that impact the function of every organ in the body and help regulate the body to stay in balance with itself. “I strongly believe in incorporating diet and lifestyle into treatment of medical conditions,” he says.
Dr. Weaver’s professional experiences include serving as Chief Endocrinologist in the OIC Endocrinology and Infectious Disease Clinic at William Beaumont Army Medical Center, El Paso, TX, where he also is a core faculty member for the Internal Medicine Residency Program. In addition, he holds the rank of Major in the US Army Medical Corps, where he has served since 2015.
His experiences have shaped his approach to practicing medicine. “I like my patients to understand their illness and when possible, give them a choice in how we approach treatment,” Dr. Weaver says. “I hope that patients come away from our visits with a better understanding of their condition,” he says.
Working at Beacon feels like coming home to Dr. Weaver. “I was born at Memorial Hospital,” he says. “I also think the community of health care providers is very strong and supportive.”
In his own words…
Who is or was the most influential people/role models in your life? My parents.
What was your first job growing up? What do you remember about it? I worked at a party rental company. I remember it was hard physical work.
What is your favorite food? Movie? Food: Pizza Movie: Interstellar
What was your best/worst subjects in school growing up? I was best in science. I won’t say that I was bad at math, but I definitely didn’t enjoy it.
If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be and why? My grandfather, I never got to know him as an adult.
In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? I have many hobbies. I like sports and gardening, but mostly I like spending time with my family.
What is something most people don’t know about you? I make a mean deep-dish pizza.
