Hyperbaric Therapy
Mild hyperbaric therapy (mHBT) delivers pressurized oxygen to enhance cellular healing for neurological conditions, chronic infections, and inflammatory diseases. Patients relax in a soft chamber at 1.3 atmospheres, allowing deeper tissue oxygenation without invasive procedures. This non-toxic therapy supports recovery from autism spectrum disorders, Lyme disease, and sports injuries while maintaining minimal side effects.
Lyme Disease Treatment
Our integrative Lyme protocol combines antibiotic therapy, immune support, and detoxification to address chronic infections. We utilize advanced diagnostics and personalized supplementation to restore health for patients with complex tick-borne illnesses and co-infections.
Autism Spectrum Care
We implement biomedical interventions including gluten-free diets, methyl B12 supplementation, and hyperbaric therapy to improve neurological function. Our approach addresses gut-brain axis health and metabolic imbalances in children with autism spectrum disorders.
Environmental Detoxification
Our detox programs target heavy metal burden and mold toxicity through chelation therapy, nutritional support, and immune optimization. We address environmental triggers contributing to chronic fatigue, autoimmune conditions, and neurological dysfunction.
Osteopathic Manipulation
Hands-on osteopathic techniques restore musculoskeletal balance and improve systemic function. This drug-free approach addresses pain, mobility issues, and structural imbalances contributing to chronic health conditions through manual adjustments and soft tissue therapy.

I was seeing Julianne and she left. Now I am seeing Dr Marino. Dr Marino has been wonderful. Dr Bianchi also sees my husband who is also wonderful. Very thorough doctors. I got a text message today saying these doctors are no longer with the office and to find another provider. Dr Dornfield is not seeing any new patients. I gave you 1 star because you handle your practice like a circus. I call to find out why and your staff is on lunch. I callback after lunch and your staff is still not taking calls. Very unprofessional. I have asthma and was being treated and now I am out a doctor and prescription refills.

It's insane how rude the office staff is. As if taking your call and scheduling an appointment so incredibly beneath them and not.part of the job? And it's the kind of nasty attitude that only gets worse when you try to be nice. Like, I'm not coming for you. I just want to review my bloodwork and gtfo. I was a patient here for a whole year only because Dr. Marino is a gem of a doc (and his MA is amazing, too) and he's finally going somewhere that deserves him.

If I could give zero stars I would! This is the worst practice ever. Stay away! I've been there for years and the only reason I stayed was because of wonderful practitioners like Julianne, and Drs Bianchi and Marino. They all left! I am totally appalled by the way I've been treated over the past two weeks. There is absolutely no care or concern for any patients. Dr Dornfield may be a very good doctor but he should be ashamed of the way he let patients know of yet another doctor leaving and the basic destruction of this practice. It's horrendous.

Dr. Dornfeld is a very caring and compassionate doctor who treats my two children. He is passionate about his practice and is always looking for ways to help his patients. It would be very difficult to find a doctor that continues to further his education as Dr. Dornfeld does. You can usually find him at a conference to advance his education or impart his experience and knowledge on his peers as well as patients looking to improve their health.
As busy as he is, he is always prompt to return calls and he is the only Dr. that has ever gave follow up calls. Dr Dornfeld is also an expert in Lyme disease. He suspected lyme even though we told him we previously tested and it came back negative, with his specific labratory testing he not only found it, he treated it successfully. We are forever grateful to him for helping our children.

I saw Juliane Everest twice, and was dismayed to learn that she is no longer at Family Wellness Center. Juliane was to do my gynecological exam. I asked the Staff if the new Dr Marino would be able to do my exam. The answer was, to ask him. I was hesitant to meet a new doctor, and made the appointment with Dr Andrew Marino, MD. This happened to be a very good choice. Dr Marino counseled me, and I feel like a participant in my plan for Wellness.
My visit was actually uplifting and positive, and I have a few issues at hand. He will be able to do the internal exam. I purchased some supplements, and received a "Smart Answer" $5 discount in addition to the usual discount. (Not a Smart Aleck answer-- no discount for that!) I really like Dr Marino! He's very positive, knowledgeable and realistic. And smart.
