Dr. Weckesser's professional interests include ophthalmology and surgery. She is also certified in bovine artificial insemination.
When she's not busy with her duties at the hospital, Dr. Weckesser enjoys playing music, painting, reading, watching movies and going for walks with her dog, Peanut. She also shares her home with a cat named Preston.
