Jennifer Weiss, M.D., chief of staff at Shriners Children’s Hawaiʻi, is a highly-skilled and accomplished pediatric orthopedic surgeon renowned for her expertise in pediatric sports medicine, sports injury and trauma surgery. She has a remarkable history of treating a variety of routine and rare orthopedic conditions in children.

A graduate of Williams College, Dr. Weiss went to medical school at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine and completed her orthopedic training at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. Her pediatric orthopedic fellowship was with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles / University of Southern California, where she stayed for seven years as director of the Pediatric Sports Medicine Program.

In addition to an exhaustive list of national and international clinical presentations, journal publications, research contributions, academic appointments and accolades, Dr. Weiss holds professional and/or board memberships in the Pediatric Orthopedic Society of North America, the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgery and the American Academy of Pediatrics. She is also vice president of the Ruth Jackson Orthopedic Society.

The daughter of an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Weiss acknowledges that besides being a mother of three and helping children thrive, her greatest passion is mentoring students, residents, fellows and faculty in universities and medical centers across the country. She is an advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion in medicine, and is a steadfast proponent of women in medicine, inspiring them to practice surgery, a field long dominated by men.

Dr. Weiss is a competitive tennis player and enjoys swimming, running and spending time with her three kids.
