Dr. Weiss says she enjoys getting to know her patients and their families well so she can provide the best possible treatment plan.
“I tell patients and their families that I will do my best to help them achieve their goals,” she says.
Dr. Weiss is director of the Pediatric Pulmonary Function Lab at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital, where she oversees both pulmonary and exercise testing. She is vice chair of education in the department of pediatrics.
