What inspired Daniel Weber – the first in his family to become a doctor – to pursue a career in medicine?
“During college I volunteered at a children’s hospital and shadowed several physicians,” he explains. “I was amazed at the relationships they were able to develop with the patients and their families as they helped them through some of the most difficult times in their lives.”

It’s also one of the main reasons he chose to practice at Beacon. “After meeting the leadership and various physicians,” he says, “it was clear that Beacon is dedicated to providing high quality and innovative care to the community in a patient-centered and compassionate manner.”

Dr. Weber was drawn to cardiothoracic surgery because of his fascination with the complexity of the human heart and lungs. He loves to help patients in challenging situations, while understanding how difficult it can be for someone to hear that they need surgery. “I believe open communication with my patients is crucial to providing the best possible care.” This often means customizing operative plans tailored to each patient’s needs and expectations.

When it comes to his patients, Dr. Weber’s philosophy is simple, yet powerful: “I’ve been privileged to treat patients who come from so many different backgrounds and life experiences. By listening to them and their families, I have learned so much about their expectations and ultimately how best to treat and communicate with them.” He wants his patients to understand that he’s dedicated to their health and well-being. “I care about their medical condition but – possibly more importantly – I care about them as people.”

In his own words…
Who is or was the most influential person/role model in your life? I have worked with and learned from some amazing surgeons during my training, and I like to think that I carry all of them with me. Every day in the operating room I’m reminded of advice I’ve received over the years for performing different parts of each operation.

What was your first job growing up? What do you remember about it? My first job growing up was teaching young children at summer sports camps. I remember how much fun we all had running around and the sound of the kid’s laughter and excitement. I appreciated that their parents trusted me to teach and have some fun with their children.

What is your favorite food? Movie? My favorite food is sushi, and my favorite movie is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

What were your best/worst subjects in school growing up? Growing up I loved math and science, and my worst subject was art (my daughters are already much better artists than I ever was).

If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be and why? This is a tough one, but I think it would have to be Joan of Arc. I have always been amazed by her courage and faith, as well as the fact that she was leading national armies as a teenager.

In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? What are your hobbies, interests? Outside of medicine, I love spending time with my wife and two daughters and enjoy bicycling and trying new sports with them.
