Dr. Weidman has served on the national Cardiology Examination Committee, including one year as committee chair. He has collaborated on clinical drug trials and has contributed to several scientific papers, including the discovery of inherited arrhythmias in Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

Dr. Weidman is excited to bring his cardiology expertise to patients in the Charlottesville area.  He enjoys managing both urgent and chronic heart disease in dogs and cats, creating plans to help delay onset of symptoms and optimize each patient’s quality of life.
