Mark Weinberger’s new wife is an Illinois native he married in 2019, after his release from federal prison on healthcare fraud charges. Her name has not been publicly reported. The couple settled in the West Palm Beach area of Florida and have two small children together, according to a 2021 NBC Dateline investigation.1NBC Chicago.

What Is Known About His Wife
Very little. The Chicago Tribune’s report on the Dateline episode identified her only as an Illinois native and said the couple married in 2019.2Yahoo Finance. Dateline Gives Former Indiana Sinus Doctor Update No major outlet has published her name, her occupation, or any detail about how she and Weinberger met. Reporting consistently refers to her as his “new wife,” and nothing in the available court filings or news coverage names her.
She is his fourth wife. His third marriage, to Michelle Kramer, ended after he abandoned her on a yacht in Greece in September 2004 and fled the country as a federal fugitive.3Vanity Fair. The Runaway Doctor
Their Life in Florida
After a 2014 release to a Florida halfway house, Weinberger stayed in the state and built a new online presence. He rebranded as “Yoga Doc,” running a business called YogaDoctor LLC that sold downloadable yoga classes, some priced at $200, and posted cryptocurrency content on YouTube under the name “Mark W.”2Yahoo Finance.

Former patients reacted bitterly to the Dateline report. Kayla Thomas, who underwent an unnecessary sinus surgery as a child under Weinberger’s care, told the program: “I’m upset with the thought that he’s still not in jail and that he is in Florida living his best life.” Her mother, Valerie Thomas, called him “a monster.”1NBC Chicago.

The 2025 Medicare Fraud Case
On November 5, 2025, Weinberger was arrested on a five-count federal indictment out of South Carolina charging him with conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud and wire fraud, one count of healthcare fraud, and three counts of wire fraud. He posted a $150,000 bond.4Post and Courier. Doctor Indicted in Greenville on Medicare Fraud Charges
Prosecutors say that between July 2019 and April 2021, Weinberger worked with Jeffery Brooks, who ran a Greenville call center called Remote Solutions LLC, to submit false Medicare claims for orthotic knee and back braces. The call center solicited Medicare beneficiaries’ information and obtained their consent for braces that were often medically unnecessary, and the conspirators allegedly paid kickbacks to licensed doctors to sign off on the orders. The scheme generated roughly $6.7 million in false claims, and Medicare paid out approximately $3.4 million.5U.S. Department of Justice.

Weinberger had been excluded from Medicare for at least 15 years because of his earlier conviction. According to prosecutors, he hid his ownership of a Florida durable medical equipment company called Cypress Health Solutions LLC by filing false enrollment documents. The indictment points to three wire transfers totaling $30,000 between Cypress Health Solutions and Brooks’s call center in November 2020.6HHS Office of Inspector General.

Why This Marriage Draws Attention
Weinberger’s name carries weight because of what happened before. He ran the Weinberger Sinus Clinic in Merrillville, Indiana, where he was accused of performing hundreds of unnecessary sinus surgeries, misreading diagnostic images, and billing for procedures he could not have performed in the time his records showed.9The Indiana Lawyer.

In September 2004, as civil suits mounted, Weinberger disappeared from a yacht off Mykonos and spent more than five years as a fugitive in Europe before Italian Carabinieri found him living in a tent on Mont Blanc in December 2009.10The Guardian. America’s Most Wanted Fugitive Found in Italian Alps Extradited to Indiana, he pleaded guilty to 22 counts of healthcare fraud and was sentenced on October 12, 2012, to 84 months in federal prison, two years of supervised release, and roughly $108,000 in restitution.11The Indiana Lawyer.

That history is why a quiet marriage in Florida became national news in the first place, and why the 2025 indictment, with Weinberger’s new family in the background, has drawn fresh attention to the woman he married after prison.
