Snigdha Weinberg, MD is a board-certified neurologist with additional certification in clinical neurophysiology with OhioHealth Physician Group.

What inspired you to pursue a career in medicine? My earliest exposure to medicine was through my mother, who was a pulmonologist in solo practice. Her love for her profession and her patients was so infectious, and this piqued my interest from a young age. I still wasn't sure about medicine as a career until college, when I found my way to neuroscience via psychology classes. Medicine, and then neurology in particular, seemed like a natural way to explore those interests in a natural setting. 

What brought you to Columbus, and what do you enjoy most about practicing here? I moved to Columbus from Philadelphia when my husband accepted an academic position at OSU. I have appreciated the kindness and welcoming nature of the local patients and greater community.  I am also grateful for the resources available for patients, as well as the level of daily support from my office staff. 

What are your areas of clinical/professional interest?  General neurology with clinical neurophysiology (EEG/EMG) and an interest in women's health 

What’s one thing you’d like your colleagues to know about you or your work? I want to do more to promote brain health. I am trying to incorporate education related to brain health into more patient visits regardless of the chief complaint. I hope to do this in the community as well. 

What’s your favorite restaurant in Columbus? Agni--innovative food, accommodating to food allergies/restrictions, and gracious staff. We had the best experience when sitting at the bar and sampling whatever the bartenders recommended. 

When you’re not working, how do you like to spend your free time? I enjoy talking and laughing with my children, exploring the Columbus dining and Metro Park scene with my family, planning our next adventure out of state or abroad, or building up a consistent exercise routine as I try to improve my own brain health!

What’s a fun fact about you that people might not know? I survived rafting (and falling out!) on the Zambezi River. 

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? "Remember that doctors are human too." I don't know if it's the best, but it is the first one I thought of as I try to both balance the demands of busy work and home lives and to navigate the changes in healthcare at various levels.

Nurturing our future leaders is a key priority for the CMA Foundation. Our Youth Advisory Council kicked off their school year with energy and purpose with their first meeting on September 16, 2025! These student leaders, ranging from 8th to 12th grade, set their 2025–2026 Health & Wellness Priorities that will guide their grantmaking and shape healthier futures for our community.

The Council welcomed a new member who is currently the only 8th grader in the group. The remaining council members are four high school seniors, three juniors, and four sophomores. The group also established the upcoming year’s Health and Wellness Priorities, which will set up the guidelines on which grants they will consider funding in their community. These priorities will also be featured on the CMAF website.  

The 2025-2026 Health and Wellness Funding Priorities are: 

• Mental Health  
• Social Disparities 
• Substance Abuse 
• Bullying and Peer Pressure 
• Basic Needs 
• Body Image and Self Esteem 
• Sexual Health and Healthy Relationships
• Suicide and Self Harm Prevention 

The council has room for additional members. If you know of a Columbus area student grade 8-12 interested in learning more about philanthropy and making a difference in the community, contact us at youthcouncil@cmafohio.org.
