Eric Weiss, MD, DTM&H

"Founded in 2004 by Dr. Eric Weiss and his wife, The Village Doctor in Woodside was one of the first concierge medicine practices in the country. Dr. Weiss received a BS in Biological Sciences from Stanford, an MD from UCSF, completed his residency and chief residency in Emergency Medicine at UCLA. He also trained at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, where he received his diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. A fellow of both the American College of Emergency Medicine and the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, Dr. Weiss is also an active member of the International Society of Travel Medicine. In addition to leading the team of concierge doctors at The Village Doctor, Dr. Eric Weiss is currently an Attending Physician at Stanford University and an advisor to several local medical and technology start-up companies in Silicon Valley. His interests include the intersection of personalized medicine, big data and artificial intelligence, and how these come together to help doctors provide better clinical care. Closer to home, he is on the Board of Directors of the Woodside Fire Foundation and is leading efforts to build The Village Hub, a community gathering place for the town of Woodside. “I founded The Village Doctor to put the ‘wow’ back in our healthcare experience. As a father of three, I saw the need for a more relaxed and family-oriented doctor’s office. As a physician, I now treasure having the time to put my patient relationships and wellness first. We are all the better, healthier and happier for it.”"

"Imagine having 2,500 clients. How would you find the time to take care of them all? You can’t really. But that’s what the average physician has to deal with today– 2,500 patients to look after. It can mean weeks of waiting for a 10-minute visit. That’s stopwatch medicine. Now imagine reducing that number to 250 patients. 90% fewer patients. It’s more than just healthcare since there’s time to actually care for their health. That’s Concierge Medicine. For the past 15 years, The Village Doctor has taken it even further. We treat everyone from infants to elders, so your entire family gets the care they need. And, since we often treat everyone from grandparents to grandchildren, your internist and pediatrician are able to share information that can affect the health and wellbeing of your entire family. Better health for those you love. It’s all related. Literally. Visits are as short or as long as you like and the time and place is up to you and your doctor. We do not have a stopwatch. Just the opposite, we have the time to stop. And watch. And listen. We also believe that achieving wellness is just as important as eliminating illness. That’s why we work closely with our Wellness Studio providers to achieve that end. Feeling better, feeling good, both physically and emotionally, are all very real, very human needs. When everyone has the time to listen, wellness happens. So, fewer patients and more time. Families as well as individuals. And the belief that wellness really matters. That’s The Village Doctor. I look forward to talking with you soon."
