Wellness Center: Engage ● Aspire ● Evolve

At Forward Focus, we have broadened our patient's health care experience by bringing in trusted leaders from diverse disciplines to provide the highest quality of preventative care. You’ll find a variety of complementary wellness services within our expansive office suite that contribute to overall good health. Our patients appreciate the convenience of seeing wellness providers within our office, but more importantly they benefit from the collaborative approach to care and immediate communication that occurs when your doctor is literally across the hall. Dr. Schaffel, Dr. Lasin, Dr. Berliant, and Dr. Katz share relevant medical information and discuss treatment plans, ensuring that you are receiving the optimal mix of services for your best health.  For more information about all of our offerings contact Marti at ffwellnesscenter@outlook.com
