About

Board-certified emergency medicine physician Adam Weissman, MD staffs the emergency department at Sharp Coronado Hospital on Prospect Place in Coronado, 92118. Weissman graduated from New York Medical College in 1996 and completed emergency medicine residency at the University of Connecticut, building a three-decade career that includes affiliations at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas, Bear Valley Community Hospital, and Hi-Desert Medical Center alongside musculoskeletal injury coordination with groups such as Ortho 1 Medical Group on the island. He treats the full spectrum of acute presentations at Coronado Island's sole emergency facility, where Sharp's $46.2 million expansion project recently added enlarged emergency bays, a relocated intensive care unit, and Primary Stroke Center certification achieved in early 2024. The emergency department's 2025 Lantern Award from the Emergency Nurses Association recognized the unit's median door-to-provider time of four minutes, and post-discharge rehabilitation referrals route through island providers including Water & Sports Physical Therapy for orthopedic and aquatic recovery protocols. Weissman also speaks Spanish, extending bilingual triage capability across an ER that serves more than 70 percent of Coronado's resident emergency visits.
