Weiss, M.D., 1917-2007|publisher=Anesthesia History Association|accessdate=11 July 2019}}{{Dead link|date=October 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Bronx, New York - died June 28, 2007 Fort Lauderdale, Florida) was an American anesthesiologist and medical doctor.

Weiss was best known for redesigning the shape of the epidural needle by adding a T-shaped set of wings. This allowed anesthesiologists and physicians to more easily guide the needle into the spine of the patient.
