Dr. Eric Weiss is a board‑certified plastic surgeon and former U.S. Navy Commander who pivoted his career to regenerative medicine after his son Marston was diagnosed with autism and showed remarkable gains following umbilical cord stem cell therapy. Now serving as Medical Director of the Autism Program at Miami Stem Cell and founder of North Florida Stem Cells, he has treated over 400 children with data-driven protocols—reporting developmental improvements in about 65–70% of them—using MSCs, exosomes, MRI/EEG monitoring, and rigorous safety standards. He’s also co‑author of Educating Marston and a frequent podcast guest, sharing both personal experience and emerging science in autism care.
