Dr. Weiss has been in practice in Vancouver since 1980. He studied Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing in 1985. Since 1992 he has specialized in Auricular Medicine, which uses the ear and pulse to pinpoint organ and emotional blockages and to test for pathologies and toxicities. Auricular Medicine is also used to confirm efficacy and compatibility of medicines, and to test for food or environmental allergies and/or sensitivities. It may be used to treat injuries, emotional blockages, addictions including tobacco, drug, eating disorders, etc. and to calm a stressed nervous system. Auricular needles, low current electrical stimulation or infrared laser are used for treatment.

Dr. Weiss uses Homeopathic Medicines extensively in his practice and especially for drainage and detoxification purposes. Through his many years of practice he has made great use of both Chinese and general herbal medicines and always employs dietary recommendations and nutritional supplementation as key points of his treatment programs.
