THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRACTICE :

After 15 years of family integrative medicine, Dr. Barbara Gordon-Cohen has teamed up with Dentist, Dr. Denise Barresi, to offer you nonsurgical cosmetic procedures to enhance your beauty. Now you can look as good on the outside as you feel on the inside!

Dr. Barbara Gordon-Cohen and Dr. Denise Barresi have known each other since Undergraduate school.  They began their friendship as teammates on the UCONN Gymnastics’ team, a sport that focuses on strength and outer beauty. While in Medical and Dental School they both raised children. Through their prospective medical training, they learned various treatment approaches that focused on the inside. They both have learned to utilize techniques such as nutrition, yoga, meditation etc. to help create a balance in their own lives. They found for their patients and their selves that positive inner changes could facilitate positive external beauty, and vice-versa. Their patients were doing inner healing work, but simultaneously were asking for tools to soften the natural aging process.  The Doctors realized that with the medical advances available today they could help their patients achieve this.  They sought additional training and certification in techniques that could help their patients come full circle to maintain their vitality.

 
 

MEET THE DOCTORS

As Doctors, mothers and women, we have had our successes and struggles.  Through these experiences, we have learned that balancing the outer and inner person is a key to feeling healthy.  The essence of our practice is based on a true desire to help during the aging process in combination with our client’s desire to age with grace and dignity.  We think that we have fused the dichotomies through our own personal experiences and our vast knowledge during Medical/Dental School and extensive clinical training.
