About Dr. Weiss
Namaste and Aloha!
I am a holistic integrative family medicine doctor who has practiced medicine for the past 33 years, passionate about helping patients achieve vibrant health using the safest, most effective therapies available. I treat the whole person, respecting and incorporating the spiritual and psychological dimensions as well as the physical.
My interest in Integrative Medicine began in 1983 while living in Geneva, Switzerland, where I spent the second half of my childhood, having seen the effectiveness of holistic healing modalities.
I received my B.A. in Biology with Distinction, Phi Beta Kappa from Swarthmore College in 1981, my M.D. from the University of Maryland School of Medicine in 1987, and then completed a three-year residency in Family Practice at West Jersey Hospital, Voorhees, a University of Pennsylvania affiliate, in 1990. I’ve been Board Certified in Family Medicine since 1990, having passed Recertification Board Exams in 1997, 2004, and 2014.
Continuing my interest in Integrative Medicine, I graduated from the Ayurvedic Institute in 1992, the New Mexico Herb Institute in 1994, the Academy for Classical Homeopathy with Honors in 1995, and from world-renowned Jeremy Sherr’s Dynamis School for Advanced Homeopathic Studies in 2005. I began my integrative practice with Alternative Therapy Associates on 2nd Street in Santa Fe in 1993 and transitioned to private practice on South St. Francis Drive while also working as the sole physician on weekends at the Santa Fe Family Health Center Urgent Care on Rodeo Road. I then moved to New York to join Dr. Michael Schachter, the past president of ACAM, at the Schachter Center for Complementary Medicine.
After returning to New Mexico in 2000 to assume ownership of the Treehouse Center of Integrative Medicine and partnering with Dr. Tieraona Low Dog, I spent a total of 18 years in private practice in Albuquerque and then returned to Santa Fe, NM, in 2018 to join Dr. Russ Canfield at 360 Medicine as a holistic integrative doctor.
In addition to doctoring, I enjoy teaching and educating. I’m a Clinical Assistant Professor at UNM School of Medicine, teaching medical students and residents the art and science of Integrative Medicine. I’ve been privileged to appear in newspaper and magazine articles, on local and national TV, including an appearance on MSNBC’s Crosstalk, and for years was the co-host and twice guest on KUNM’s Sage Health On-Call. I’ve also lectured at various medical schools on different topics.
When not doctoring, I enjoy ecstatic dance, music, hiking, writing, and performing Improv . I speak fluent French and am conversant in German. I am committed to growing beyond any perceived limitations to reach my full human potential.
