About the Provider

Dr. Morgan Heinzelmann-Weisbaum is a board-certified neurologist, with unique fellowship training in sports neurology and pain medicine. She is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Neurology and Orthopaedics.

After personal experience with both neurologic and orthopedic injuries as a collegiate athlete at Davidson College, she was inspired to become a physician to care for athletes, exercisers, and any individuals motivated to improve their health, function, and quality of life. After college, she spent two years performing research at the National Institutes of Health on traumatic brain injury in athletes and military personnel, before obtaining her MD at George Washington University. She then completed her Neurology residency at UT Southwestern, and she served as Chief Resident during her final year. Lastly, she completed a Sports Neurology and Pain Medicine fellowship at the prestigious Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute, where she gained invaluable experience treating pain and neurologic injuries in youth, collegiate, and professional athletes in the clinic and on the sidelines.

She will be practicing non-operative spine pain management and sports neurology. Her clinical interests include the following:
•    Managing neck and low back pain through a combination of conservative therapies and ultrasound/fluoroscopy-guided procedures
•    Diagnosing and treating sports-related neurologic injuries (including but not limited to concussion)
•    Evaluating non-injury related neurologic symptoms/signs in the athlete, as well as guiding individuals with pre-existing neurologic conditions regarding safe participation in physical activity
•    Providing sideline and ringside neurologic medical coverage
During each patient encounter, she strives to actively listen, consider all possible diagnoses, provide education, and use shared decision-making with her patient to create a personalized workup and treatment plan.

Although her medical training took her from coast to coast, Dr. Heinzelmann-Weisbaum is thrilled to return to Atlanta to be close to family. She enjoys spending time with her husband, baby boy, and dog (“Luka Dog-cic”), as well as working out, traveling, attending sports events, and adding to her FIGS scrubs and Nike sneakers collections.

For over 12 years, I was told by other providers that they "didn't see anything," yet none of them performed a thorough evaluation of my symptoms. Dr. Heinzelmann-Weisbaum not only validated my concerns but also approached my case with a level of care, detail, and expertise that I've been searching for all these years.

    Dr. H, her nurse Sydney, and the MA-Jessica were all wonderful. Informative, patient, and compassionate.
