Amber Weiss, PA-C

History

After graduating with honors from Stanford University, I went on to earn my Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University in 2002. For several years, I ran a busy acupuncture clinic in Santa Cruz with an emphasis on primary care, holistic pain management and digestive disorders. With a strong desire to expand the services I could offer my patients, I continued my education at Stanford Medical School for my Physician Assistant training, where I graduated at the top of my class in 2007. I recently moved back to Santa Cruz and have been working with Dr. Lonna Larsh since 2013. I have always had a passion for practicing integrative medicine. My partnership with Dr. Larsh has provided an opportunity to utilize the full scope of my Western and Eastern medical skills.
