21 Ortho Lane, Atlanta, GA 30329About
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.

Wonderful nurse and Dr. Heinzelmann was terrific. Explained everything so that we could understand exactly what she was doing and going to do in the future
After questions concerning my current pain and walking situation, Dr. H developed a plan of treatment to treat it. From neck injections to lower back injections plus a referral to physical therapy
She spent more time with us that I expected. It was very much appreciated.
Always more than 5star
My visit was outstanding at Emory
Potential treatment is uncertain, but I was given a good explanation for why I might still suffer pain so soon after my last injection (in addition to the fall I had after my last visit).
Dr, H is awesome. She was so genuinely concern about me. I appreciate her.
Great experience
Answered all my questions and took her time explaining everything to me.
Very professional
Dr. Heinzelmann is BY FAR the best doctor I have ever seen, with the exception of my endocrinology care providers at Atlanta Diabetes Associates. I'm so grateful to be under Dr. Heinzelmann's care and trust her completely.

Overall great experience at the spine center but not so good at the brain health center for EMGs.
Very good experience with all aspects of the appointment

I love Dr Heinzelman, she listened to my concerns and took time with me

Dr. H-W is one of the best doctors I have had at Emory! She isn't rushed. She has empathy, takes good notes, has good humor; explains things so they are easy to understand; uses visuals; allows plenty of time for questions; give impression that she really cares
I felt it was a thorough consultation. Many questions were asked by the provider along with testing my reflexes and strength. Possible causes for my headaches were discussed with the provider asking that I follow up with her on the portal. If my headaches are not coming from what we discussed, I may ask to see her again to look at my cervical spine as the possible cause.
Excellent listener, empathetic, clear communicator
My doc was amazing! Explained the results of my CT scans thoroughly. She was kind and compassionate! I am very fortunate she is my physician!
Dr. Heinzelmann-Weisbaum is the first provider who has truly listened to me and taken the time to fully evaluate my musculoskeletal pain and imbalances. 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. I finally feel heard, understood, and supported in my path toward healing.
Nobody can beat this clinic in any way, shape or form.
Very good

Love the doc!

Dr Morgan Wiseman was excellent. She listened and provided answers to my questions and concerns. I appreciated the care and concern she exhibited and felt much better about my bad back and the treatment recommended,
Dr Heinzelmann is amazing, first she had me explain my spinal cord injury starting with the C3 to C5 fusion in 1996. She had me delineate all of the therapies and musculoskeletal symptoms I was having.
Outstanding doctor. She took the time to listen to my concerns. She reviewed the X-rays and discussed treatment options. She answered all my questions about treatment options. The appointment was not rushed and I left feeling positive about the recommendations.

Good
Very impressed with Dr. Heinzelmann-Weisbaum. She listened well, and really took her time. I appreciated that the appointment did not feel hurried, and that she was personable.
Dr. Heinzelman-Weisbaum is a breath of fresh air. It has already been game changing finding a provider who listens, demonstrates thoughtful consideration, and recommends next steps that make sense and are appropriate to the scope of the problem. I really appreciate being treated as an informed collaborator in my own care and that my being informed and health-literate is not used against me. It has been awesome to review after visit summaries that accurately report what I said and what was discussed and reports the oddness and complexity of my medical hx in a way that does not me, the patient, sound difficult or confused. This is what care should look like. I have already recommended this provider to a friend of a friend in need of a thoughtful ortho.
Dr. Heinzelmann listened to all of my concerns, provided feedback and discussed path forward. She took her time with me - to my satisfaction. Very helpful discussion.
I am very encouraged about my car because I've been given different answers from previous Dr's and this dr ruled things out and believes they need to explore further.
I will share my experience with others
I would highly recommend Dr. Henzelman. I have also recommended the Muscoskeletal facility to potential patients for their future health service needs.
A doctor who listened !!
The doctor was spectacular. She looked me in the eye and listened to every single thing I said. She's how every doctor should be!!
Everything was explained to us in detail with us being shown the problems on the x-rays.
Where all good?
My care provider was excellent
Dr. Heinzelmann is a 10 out of 10. She is a top professional.
Very professional and the after action notes are most helpful
This was a great appointment! I'm used to providers not being familiar with my existent diagnosis of hypermobile joints or downplaying the possible connections between ortho issues and other immune/inflammatory & neuro/autonomic conditions. I was really pleased that my whole health profile was taken into account when evaluating and planning next steps. Also very glad to see that the visit notes accurately reflected my symptoms, self reporting, and what was accomplished during the visit. Awesome experience all around.
Young, innovative , well informedand shows concern with patients needs.
Dr was very personable and kind. Her ability to connect with me as a person was remarkable. She did a good job of explaining her diagnosis and treatment plan. I enjoyed meeting with her.
Very satisfied with my appointment
Dr. H was very thorough with her exams and visits.
Dr Heizelman-Westbaum has the most excellent bedside manners. She's very caring , communicates well and listen to my concerns
This has been an ongoing issue I've had, and my experience with Dr. Morgan Heinzelmann-Weisbaum made me feel like I was finally being listened to and acknowledged. She took the time to understand my history and I felt like someone was finally in my corner and had a plan. I already recommended her to my athletic trainer.
She was very good
I received the very best possible careattentive, informative, compassionate and intelligent. My situation was cared for with respect and helpfulness. What could possibly be better?
I wish there was an excellent rating, because that's what I would give. Very thorough with everything.
Dr. Morgan listened to my health problems and took action on the next step to help with my care.
She's the BEST!!
When I made this appointment, there was evidently some mixup, and I was sent to the wrong department. My concern was knee and hip. Was sent to the Spine department. Not clear until I meet the Dr. She was very good, and did her best to make the visit worthwhile.
Emory physicians are remarkable. They hear and the listen.
Everything was wonderful
Dr. Morgan was very thorough, empathetic and explained all aspects of my care. She put a plan in place to address my medical concerns immediately. This is appreciated.
Feel fortunate to establish care with this doctor
