Bio
Shawn Weigel, DO, practices ophthalmology as an osteopathic physician and surgeon. A Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree came from Kirksville in 1996, followed by internship and residency training in ophthalmology in Philadelphia, ending with a year as chief resident. The osteopathic college of ophthalmology and otolaryngology honored that residency work with its senior resident paper award.
The surgical practice is built on cataract surgery and laser vision correction. Teaching seminars on eye disease and the causes of vision loss extend that work past the operating room and into the communities the offices serve. Thousands of procedures have followed since the move to this practice in 2012.
Dr. Weigel holds board certification through the American Osteopathic Board of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology and belongs to the American Osteopathic Association. Castle Connolly has listed Dr. Weigel among its Top Doctors three times. In Dr. Weigel's own words, "Cataract surgery and laser vision correction change how someone sees from the moment they wake up, so I spend the time to set expectations before anyone commits to a date. The best outcome is a patient who is not surprised by anything." Patients can schedule a visit with Dr. Weigel at the Chambersburg and Hagerstown offices of Ludwick Eye Center.
