Robert Fulton Weir was the son of James Weir, a prominent pharmacist of New York, and Mary Anne (Shapter) Weir. His grandfather, Robert Walter Weir, was a prosperous merchant, who came to America from Scotland. His mother was of English ancestry. Weir was born in New York City.
His early education was obtained in the public schools. In 1854 he graduated from the College of the City of New York, then the Free Academy, and in 1857 was accorded the M. A. degree from the same institution. He received the M. D. degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, in 1859, having supplemented his courses of study with practical experience in the office of Dr. Gurdon Buck. He was one of very few to receive an honorary degree from the Royal College of Surgeons in London in 1900.
He clerked for his father and acquired a considerable knowledge of medicines and their uses, as well as a desire to enter the medical profession. He had also been allowed to make the morning rounds with the house surgeon of the New York Hospital, and for the two years following his graduation, he served as house surgeon there. In 1861 he entered the United States Army as assistant surgeon and continued in service until the close of the war. His work as the head of one of the largest of the government hospitals, at Frederick, Md. , was publicly acknowledged by the surgeon-general. When the war ended, he commenced a general practice in New York City. He was appointed surgeon to St. Luke's Hospital and, from 1873 to 1883, one of the attending surgeons of the new Roosevelt Hospital. From 1876 to 1900 he was attending surgeon to the New York Hospital, but resigned in that year to take charge of the surgical service at the Roosevelt Hospital. From 1870 to 1875 he was professor of surgery at the Woman's Medical College, and in 1883 he became clinical professor of surgery at the College of Physicians and Surgeons and professor from 1892 to 1903. In 1907 he retired completely from public professional life. Weir was one of the most brilliant surgeons of his time. His operations were often witnessed by many physicians desiring to learn from his technique. His thesis at graduation, "Hernia Cerebri, " won a prize of $50. In his Personal Reminiscences (post) are the titles of his papers which describe surgical procedures or operations originated by him. For a list of his many contributions to medical journals, see Shrady. He served as president of many professional organizations, among them the Practitioners' Society of New York, 1883-84; New York Surgical Society, 1884-85; American Surgical Association, 1899-1900, and the New York Academy of Medicine, 1901-02. He was also a member of the Société de Chirurgie of Paris.
Especially notable was his work in connection with surgery of the joints and intestines. He was among the first to recognize duodenal ulcer as an entity. He made an important modification of the Murphy button for its use in gastroenterostomy, and was among the first to adopt Lister's method of antiseptic and aseptic surgery. His contributions to medical literature were many.

Quotes from others about the person
Dr. W. W. Keen wrote of him: "Weir was a capital operator, careful, judicious and resourceful. I have hardly known a better one. He was indeed a Master Surgeon".
He was twice married: to Maria Washington McPherson of Virginia, on October 2, 1863, and to Mary Badgley Alden of Albany on November 7, 1895. A daughter by his first wife survived him.
