Regenerative Medicine Specialist, Co-Author, Educating Marston
Dr. Eric Weiss is a leader in advanced regenerative medicine and the co-author of Educating Marston. Founder of the North Florida Stem Cells Clinic, Dr. Weiss provides stem cell replacement therapy to treat various conditions such as Osteoarthritis (OA), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), with a special focus on the treament of Autism.
Dr. Weiss co-wrote Educating Marston with his wife, Christine Weiss, as a memoir of their journey through programs and therapies to improve the quality of life of their autistic son, Marston. Trying seemingly everything under the sun, nothing clicked until they discovered stem cell replacement therapy in conjunction with intensive work at programs like the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. Once with limited verbal communication abilities, Marston can now hold a conversation and do so much more. With Educating Marston, Dr. Weiss is on a mission to help fellow parents of children on the autism spectrum and spread the word about stem cell replacement therapy as a treatment therapy for autism.
Dr. Weiss and Educating Marston have been featured on local and national outlets including LA Weekly, Life & Style, Wake Up with Marci, and more.
A graduate of Duke University Medical School, Dr. Weiss completed his general surgery residency in the University of California system and a Plastic and Reconstructive surgery residency at the University of Miami.
