Dr. Weibel spent his youth in Upstate New York and Southern California.  After completing medical school at Hahnemann University in Philadelphia, he went on to train in General Surgery which included treatment of trauma and burn patients.

Dr. Weibel then went to Saint Louis where he received specialized training in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Fellowship training was then completed in San Francisco where he learned specialized techniques in hand and microsurgery.  During this year, Dr. Weibel studied and investigated nerve regeneration, advancing our knowledge of nerve repair.  He was privileged to serve as the John Q. Owsley fellow in San Francisco where he mastered his approach to the aging face.

Dr. Weibel's practice is built on referrals, and patient safety and satisfaction are always his top priorities.

Dr. Weibel's personal interests include physical fitness and music. He enjoys running and biking regularly and composing songs on piano and guitar.  His patients enjoy his calm and sincere attitude and frequently refer family members for evaluation of various problems.
