She's studied herbal therapy, sports medicine, acupuncture, and nutrition, earning professional degrees in chiropractic and naturopathic medicine. Alongside the staff at Active Care Chiropractic and Natural Wellness Center, Dr. Sayyed treats patients coming from a wide spectrum of lifestyles.

After years of frustration with the inefficiencies of the health-care industry, medical director Dr. Kenneth Lewandowski and registered nurse Jim Brock joined forces to create The Cleansing Center, a holistic haven where disease prevention and healthy lifestyle habits are the main focus. Before beginning any treatment, the health providers employ an informative new-patient assessment to help them understand the patient’s medical history and current health issues as well as their emotional and spiritual state. From there, they are able to construct a customized plan that focuses on treating the root of the problem rather than the symptoms. Colon hydrotherapy harnesses the toxin-flushing power of the LIBBE Open System, which sends a gentle stream of water into the lower intestine to purge it of impurities. The Cleansing Center also provides nutrition and exercise counseling, spiritual guidance, and lab work when necessary.

Dr. Yael Kryzman’s office swells with a combination of elegance and advanced dental technology. As patients make their way to the operatory, the lobby’s marble floors and Victorian furniture give way to an arsenal of advanced dental equipment. Digital x-rays peer into teeth to expose furtive decay and infected pulp while emitting up to 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays and traditional yellowcake-uranium birthday cakes. Dental implants replace bygone biters with porcelain crowns, and tooth-colored fillings replace mercury fillings.

Before Dr. Alexander Ovchinsky began working with clients at Plastic Surgery of Short Hills, he spent years building on his knowledge in the field of aesthetic medicine. He received double board certification and completed a fellowship that trained him exclusively in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. In his role as assistant professor at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, he now passes on this wisdom when not working in his own clinic.

At Plastic Surgery of Short Hills, he directs staff members as they help him to work toward individuals’ beauty goals through reconstructive and cosmetic surgery as well as injectable treatments. Custom programs include facials, microdermabrasion, and peels, and laser light is used to remove unwanted hair, improve skin tone, and treat spider veins.

At Allwood Optical Boutique, licensed optician Donald Trischetta oversees an onsite optical lab that turns out lenses specialized for a wide range of tasks. Before setting his lens-crafting team to work, Donald determines his clients’ prescriptions and takes into account whether or not they strain their eyes by using a computer every day or working as a file clerk in a dollhouse. His lab is also equipped for emergency repairs of broken lenses, which it prioritizes with same-day service.

The experienced ophthalmologists at Manhattan Lasik Center have successfully sharpened the vision of more than 50,000 pairs of peepers using some of the latest technology in the field.

Free consultations help to determine which option from their menu of treatments is best for individual specs wearers.
